Our first big event for the year is getting closer with the Seafood night set down for Saturday REVIEW - ROUND 2 I felt that this draw has been a good confidence booster, now we just have to take that forward into this weeks match against the undefeated A2 – ROUND 2 VS OLD SCOTCH AT WALKERVILLE Gepps Cross. Good work Lads – Man of match Paul Reid. Well after week one being washed out the game Scores: Walkerville 8/241 (P Reid 80, A was turned into a 50 over one day game and after Dichiera 31 no.) drew Old Scotch 241 (L loosing the toss it looked like being a long 50 Panzarino 4/22, N Cheary 3/52). overs with both opening bowlers Miller & Cheary being smashed to the boundary on numerous occasions within the first 5 overs. Old Scotch were 1-60 off 8 overs until Cheary bowling his first 10 straight over spell since he was 13 grabbed 3 wickets ending with figures off 3-53. Through the middle overs once again medium pacer Leo was bowling exceptionally well with a ten over spell with fine figures of 4-22. At the other end first gamer Craig Cowland bowled a fine 6 over spell not picking up a wicket but did the job of bowling to the off side field. In the last 15 overs Old Scotch had a bit off fun with balls flying over the boundary on numerous occasions. Old Scotch’s innings ended all out for th Nick ‘The Scout Master’ Cheary in action on his 241 in the 50 over which was a good result way to taking 3/52 for the A grade team. considering the start they had. At the change of innings I asked one thing and that was for us to bat the 50 overs and we would win the game. We started of well with Duncan and Cheary putting on 31 before some confusion or maybe some slow running by Cheary saw himself run out for 19. Pete Sarson looked like continuing his good form from game one but was bolwed for 16 with B.Duncan soon following for 23. Mark Reid couldn’t repeat game one, with a ball keeping low and rattling the stumps and suddenly we were 5-96 looking in trouble. A game breaking partnership between P Reid and D.Powell was a delight to watch Dan turning the strike over and Paul smashing the ball to all parts Craig Cowland sends down a thunder bolt of the ground. All off a sudden we were back in during his marathon 6 over spell. the game requiring just over a run a ball, another good partnership between Reid and A.Dichiera (31) placed us right back in the game with Reid well caught at mid wicket for 80. This left roughly 23 runs from 18 balls with first gamer Cowland (7) and Ant at the crease both turned over the strike with Ant finding the boundary bringing it down to 11 runs from the last over. It then was 4 to win off the last ball with Ant finding an edge to fine leg with no fielder and the boys dashing through for 3 leaving the game stranded in a draw. It was a very good effort to see guys other than Medium pacer Leonardo Panzarino shows the B.Duncan and M.Reid contribute and prove that style that claimed 4 wickets for the A grade. we can hang in and fight games out all the way to the end. Nick “Scout Master” Cheary in cover driving form for the A grade against Scotch. Ben “Bumpkin” Duncan tucks in his shirt as the BI – ROUND 2 VS AHOS AT AHOS – umpire directs another plane to land on After the first week was washed out we ventured Saturday! to the sandy beaches of the Adelaide High School for a one day game. We had to wait for the beach volleyballers, I mean juniors to finish to get a car park space as $59 a ticket was far too much for the boys to risk. The skipper again went against his better judgment and called heads and again won the toss and elected to bat. The new combination of Matho and young speedster Jimmy at the top got us away to a steady start (nothing of the bat, but the AHOS keeper helped us out with 8 byes in the first 2 overs – big night the night before). Jimmy blazed early and was caught at mid off bringing big CJ Jervies to the wicket. With his new Kookabura in tow CJ began to swipe the ball all over the park unfortunately even with his Mark “Chopper” Reid makes a valiant attempt exceptional power the ball was eaten up by the at a stumping against Old Scotch. “quick” sandy beaches of AHOS producing singles here and there. To AHOS’s credit they played their oval very well, bowling straight and setting the field back meaning both Matho and CJ had to take risks to score runs. At drinks after 25 overs we were 1/42 and way behind our targets however we had wickets in hand and the Jaques Kallis of Walkerville was still at the crease. To everyone’s joy straight after drinks, Matho who broke his bat earlier in the day (it wasn’t from creaming the ball to the boundary) was dismissed for a blistering 9 off 26 overs as Pete’s brother Mick strode to the wicket, there was much anticipation as Pete’s brother has been in great form scoring 88 last week against Unley………oh Paul “Wooly” Reid on his way to a “man of the yes, sorry that was actually Pete, Mick was in match” performance 80. great form last week leading the runs however he didn’t trouble the scorers this week (first time in his career). The young wippet “Jonothan” Fuller stepped to the mark and spread wings between the wickets turning 1’s into 2’s, he was only there for a short time but our run rate spiked to 2.05 up from 1.85. Both Leaky and Moose who had umpired The game was played in good spirits and was a faultlessly came in for a spell as it looked like credit to both teams with the AHOS guys fully they may be required as the overs were running deserving their victory as they dominated from out.

Najprej je primerjava izvedena opisno – s primerjanjem njunih nemerljivih lastnosti, nato pa s pomočjo štetja tematik (ki jih predstavljajo hiperpovezave). Kot osnova sta bila izbrana dva nivoja spletnih strani tematike Mughal dynasty. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata obe enciklopediji pozitivne in negativne lastnosti. Wikipedija vsebuje veliko več hiperpovezav, ki pa so uporabljene precej nedosledno. Veliko pojmov je napačno zapisanih, povezave so nedelujoče ipd. Encyclopædija Britannica vsebuje hiperpovezave, ki so v veliki meri povezane z izbrano tematiko ter se od nje pretirano ne oddaljujejo. Povezave so ustvarjene dosledno, so delujoče ter pravilno zapisane, tematiko predstavi z vseh vidikov, Wikipedija pa pretirava s hiperpovezavami, ki bralca prehitro odvrnejo od osnovne tematike.
