Scores
and Recent History
The
Association is now calledCricket
Albury-Wodonga. Scores can be found at that easy
to use and intuitive web site /off
sarcasm mode.
Kenny
Rayner,our first grade wicketkeeper a few years
back, went to Saudi Arabia for a while. We missed him, but
luckily many people had seen him (or at least so they allege),
and they related these anecdotes at the " Where's
Kenny? " page here(Not cricket at all "Old Bean!")
Kane
Arendarcikas (leggy extraordinaire) headed to England
in 2003 to ply his wares as a cricketer with Barton Town
C.C. Read his travelogue here.
In
2005, Dean Carroll became one of Barton Town C.C.'s
overseas players. Read his diary here!
Here is
a gratuitous skull graphic, representing the way I prefer
my batsmen. Deathly pale, and writhing like the whingeing
parasites on the game that they are. Is that clear enough?
What other rules can be adjusted to make life easier for them?
Fielding restrictions, no bouncers, featherbed wickets, white
balls, dodgy LBW interpretations, ( I certainly *never* appeal
unless it's OUT! ), flatter seamed balls, spurious wide calls....
the list is endless! And what's that 20/Twenty crap???
Last
deceived by an subtle inswinging leg-cutter with alarming lift before
being fined five runs for wearing a loud shirt in a built up area on 8/2/2010.
Please
be advised that 2004 Australian of the Year & former Australian
Test Captain S.R. Waugh sits at the Right
Hand of God in so far as this Web Site is
concerned. Get his autobiography
