Being washed out against these boys earlier in the season it is the unknown, they have played well in the second half of the season so they will be tough opposition. I’m sure with inclusions of Knowles and Walker and the determination of 13 guys that want to win a flag will help us work hard to get through. Boy Scout Nick Cheary hits a sweet cover drive Just would like to take this opportunity to thank against Ingle Farm. This was obviously not the the B and C grade boys for their efforts ball he got out on. throughout the season even though results didn’t go our way, I’m sure you have enjoyed your season and next year will only be bigger and better if you all stick together. Lampy and the boys, great season in the one dayers but I’m sure you still have two games left in you and bring home the GF. Good Luck

The pitch displayed none of the previous week’s A fine warm day with a forecast of late afternoon slow low bounce and the ball came off the bat rain greeted the Cats B grade side as we faced nicely. After a few expensive overs Darcy ‘round Hope Valley at home. Both teams were placed them up’ Wright was thrown the ball. He claimed just outside the top 4 by a game and a half on the 1st wicket in his second over and we hoped points and an outright win could see the winner the wicket flood gates would open as they had in make the top four and finals. The Cats had a previous games as Hope Valley had blazed 91 runs drastically changed side from previous games from 10 overs. After 17 overs Hope Valley passed with 1st XI, Clipsal and ‘white ant extermination’ our 158 with 1 down and we were going to commitments.

LOD – ROUND 18 VS UNLEY AT WEBB OVAL SEMI FINALS The LOD's finished a positive season on a slight downer with a close loss to Unley.

LOD – SEMI FINAL VS GOLDEN GROVE FC AT Iggy again proved the backbone of the attack CANE RESERVE with 2/30 off 9. Lukey Robertson bowled without luck and finished with 1/25 off 9. Paul 'Grandfather' Roper chimed in at the death and WOOLY’S FINANCIAL ADVICE took 1/22 off 6 overs.

We began the chase with the loss of an early wicket but Andrew 'the rock' Reid came to the crease and steadied things down. We think it could be a Walkerville club record for balls faced to get off the mark? Unfortunately (fortunately for Reidy) we have no official count - but we're estimating about 30 balls faced before a slashing boundary silenced the hecklers (re Laubes) on the side lines! After the rock departed we lost another quick wicket which brought Laubes to Here’s some good advice for my loyal followers. the crease.

Batting Tips with Matho Bowling Tips with Panz

You have heard of the big hitting batsman – Viv, Gilly, Warner, well add Mathieson to the list!! The poor people of Walkerville often for cover when I walk to the crease. Even at training the neighbours cover up their windows and lock away their cats. I cant help it I am a natural big hitting batsman!!!

If like me at times you get frustrated with your bowling when the ball is just not coming out right and you seem to be getting hit to the boundary regularly, I like to change it up and bowl using your alternate hand. For me, that would be my left hand. I remember going through a tough time with the red cherry during my early days at Walkerville and my stellar career may have been cut short had it not been for reverting to my left hand swingers during the final 5 games of that year. Using my left hand allowed me to reflect on where my right hand bowling was going whilst still playing at the highest level. I occasionally slip the odd left handed in which tends to be my dusorer and I am surprised when the umpires and opposition don’t even notice. Haha.. Now, if I can just bat left handed all my problems will be solved!!!! Bowl well my friends!! Panz

THE BASIC’S OF CRICKET by Paul Reid

THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for the over welling response to Learn the basics of Cricket with Paul Reid the wanted advert for the removal of Dan Powell’s socks. There were many people who offered their services for free. In case you think this breakdown of cricket is a little too basic, consider this. An American once The health department have stepped in and said “cricket - that's the game with the mallets, removed the socks and hosed Daniel down right?”. For the record, Yanks, that’s croquet! with high pressure hoses. Daniel put up strong resistance but the over Cricket is played by 2 teams of 11 players each, whelming numbers of people who held him and as far as how much time you should allocate down and the large crowd cheering on the to watch a match, it can take anywhere from an sock stripping was too much for Daniel to afternoon (one day cricket) to five days (for a hold off. test match). The hosing brought much pleasure to the The whole point is to score more runs than the large number of neighbours and friends who opponent. Think … baseball. Runs good, getting had gathered to view the event. out bad. The teams bat in turns (each turn is Daniel vows to attempt another world record called an innings) and try to score runs while the in the near future! opposing team fields and tries to end the batters’ innings. How many innings are played depends on which kind of cricket you’re playing.

To give you an idea of how long matches usually last:

• goes for 5 days.

• One-Day Cricket is pretty self- explanatory, and lasts about six hours.

• Twenty20 (a limited overs match where each team bats for one innings, which lasts 20 overs) usually finishes in three hours.

Daniel who reached 171 days straight with his Cricket is played on a field, and there's a “pitch” socks until the Health department intervened in the centre that is 20m long, with wickets set up at each end. There are two umpires keeping the teams in line, and holding people’s sweaters/hats/glasses. They are so handy and considerate.

The batting team scores runs by hitting the ball AROUND THE MEDAL COUNT and running the whole length of the pitch. Easy so far. At any one time there are two batsmen in, one at each end. Even though the ‘second’ batsmen – the non-striker - might not be facing up to hit the ball from the bowler, there’s no avoiding the running part. And either batsmen can lose their wicket (if the ball hits it), whether they hit the ball or not.

Obviously you can’t score runs if you’re back in the team seats, so the primary concern of the batsman who is batting (i.e. the "striker") is to prevent the ball hitting the wicket (which would dismiss them) and then to score runs by hitting the ball with his bat so that he and his batting partner have time to run from one end of the A big crowd was on hand for the Walkerville pitch to the other before the fielding side can Players Player night at the Sussex Hotel return the ball. To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the crease with either their bats or their bodies (the batsmen carry their bats as they run).

Meanwhile the bowling side has a bowler at the pitch, a wicket-keeper crouching behind the striking batsman’s wicket ready to grab the ball and return it (you’ll recognise the wickie, just look for the gloves) and other 9 players scattered around the field. They’re all trying to get each member of the batting team out, at which point the batting and bowling teams switch places. As soon as 10 batsmen have been dismissed, the Who could ask for more, great company, great whole team is out and the innings is over. food and a great night as the WCC Players The bowler bowls the ball in sets of six deliveries Player night steamed into action. (or "balls") and each set of six balls is called an over. It’s up to the captain to decide where players should stand in the field, and which player should bowl for each over.

This simple break down should make it a little easier for you ladies and none sporting men to understand the basics of the great game of cricket.
