1 Newtown & Chilwell Cricket Club Celebrating 100 years TWO BLUE TRIBUNE The official organ of the Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club Inc. November 17, 2010 Vol.38 No.5 A win for the Ages...and the Aged Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club pulled off one of its most stunning wins of recent times in the tied 20/20 game at Stinton Oval on November 7th. Such that after the tension-filled bowl-off, men (and one woman) of varying vintages had grins like split melons and all rushed to be together in the change rooms. The president could not have chosen a better day to host his sponsors and supporters. With so many wags from eras long gone in the rooms and on the balcony, there were plenty of great one-liners, too. But down in the change rooms, Sammy Eason topped them all. I haven t won a game in two years and now I have won two in two days, he beamed, and then repeated it just in case you hadn t heard it right. Russell, we ve just done it, and twice in a row! Oh yeah! Both N&CCC and Grovedale had been locked on at the end of the two innings. They did get a couple of hits, but there was also a couple of telling and seriously applauded misses. So in the end, it required the King to rattle the castle at least once to claim the famous victory. Greg Wells reckons he missed the first time just to add to the tension. He s like that, you know, said Goose. No way, said the King. I was trying to hit it both times! The roar on the balcony could have been heard on Pluto when at the second attempt, the stumps went back and the bails tumbled to GT s sacred turf. Showing the wonderful leadership for which je is renowned Ben Neville chose not just to bowl first in the bowl-off, but to be the first bowler to lead by example. The roars from the balcony could have been heard on Mars as he struck Twice. Grovie s first up bowler missed twice. Then another Ben, Ben Eason, was happy to be led by example. Stumps hit Twice. He d saved a million runs in the field with his whippet like running. Now this.gold. No wonder his old man had the camera out. After Grovie s number two bowler missed both times, it was 4-nil and the N&CCC abacus was working overtime. We can t lose from here Rusty declared! They need to hit twice, no one can do that, he said. The regular part of the match itself was a beauty, time and again Newtown showing a massive fighting spirit against a well credentialled opponent. Ben and JR were out early. Eeeek! Sam Arthurton eked his way to a fine half century, then showed the best answer to a sledge is a switch-hit four, or shovelling the ball over the wicketkeeper s head into the acres of vacant space. There s no doubt Grovie had not seen Sam and his amazingly creative batting coming. They looked stunned as he switch-hit at will. Where did that come from, they seemed to be saying? The broads of Norfolk via The Essex Academy! They teach em to do that now. The best Pom so far, said a wise old man on the balcony. But it was the same wise man who had wondered earlier why they weren t using the sight screens! Jaikie and Mikie might still be in it Sam! Along the way, Sam had terrific support from the Gavin Castle, one regal six in a little cameo.

2 And then Dima, up from the third s, smashed Grovie s legspinner for a soaring six. The roar from the balcony could be heard all the way to the end of the universe, following the ball in that general direction, as it were looked more than defendable, said Morgo, who the day before had learned a bit about what is defendable and what isn t. Phillip John s observations seemed even more perspicacious (no relation to the record-breaking 7ths wicketkeeper/batsman) when Govie got struck into Grovie s top order and then Dima got a couple of wickets with pure jaffas. Dima s run-out of the Grovie wicketkeeper was also pure pure poetry. At the non-striker s end, a gozzer. Every man in a blue cap knows and respects Kelso as a bloke and as a player. Every man in a blue cap knew that Dima had pulled of the miracle dismissal. It s a wonder he had any oxygen left in his body as his captain hugged the dear life out of him. But as we know Grovie is a proud club too and tooth and nail, they fought to get back into the game and looked to be there well and truly when the King nearly knocked himself out going for a catch on the boundary. Eventually, to deliver the final knockout, Grovie needed two runs with two wickets in hand. Enter Govie again, wicket second last ball, a steepler caught by Ben Eason. Still two to win, one ball left. Govie bowled it, it was mis-hit to nowhere in particular, but the single was taken. Match tied. See above for what happened next! Details for the two T20's are as follows; N&C versus Alexander Thomson Sunday, November 21 at Highton Reserve Roslyn Road, at 1:00 p.m. N&C versus Waurn Ponds Sunday November 28 on Stinton Oval at 1:00 p.m. T20 FIRST XI defeated Grovedale on Stinton Oval in a bowl off (5-2) Newtown & Chilwell *BM Neville c C Ford b B Allen J Rees c B Tsitas b B Allen T Nunn c M Kelson b GD Yelland S Arthurton b G Skrobolak G Castle b C Ford Y Roussety c M Kelson b B Tsitas S Dimovski c K Ford b G Skrobolak J Lewis not out 4 B Eason not out 1 S Gove S Eason Extras (1nb,5w,1b,1lb) 8 Total (cc) 7/125 Overs 20 FOW: 4(J Rees) 7(BM Neville) 17(T Nunn) 45(G Castle) 49(Y Roussety) 93(S Dimovski) 122(S Arthurton) B Allen GD Yelland A Romaniw G Skrobolak C Ford B Tsitas Grovedale Min 4 6 NJ Peterson c S Eason b S Dimovski CCruickshank c S Dimovski b S Gove 0 2 K Ford c G Castle b S Gove 0 1 GD Yelland c Y Roussety b S Gove 2 9 M Luttrell c S Arthurton b S Dimovski *+M Kelson run out 0 B Allen c B Eason b S Gove A Romaniw not out C Ford not out 0 0 B Tsitas G Skrobolak Extras (3nb,6w,1b,8lb) 18 Total (cc) 7/125 Overs 20 FOW: 1(M Kelson) 10(C Cruickshank) 11(K Ford) 22(GD Yelland) 76(NJ Peterson) 77(M Luttrell) 124(B Allen) G Castle S Gove B Eason BM Neville S Arthurton J Rees Membership The use of paypal through the two blues website or EFTPOS at the bar to pay membership, has made the process of paying what you owe easier than ever. There are no excuses such as: I couldn t find anyone to take my money, I was there but Col wasn t, etc... The take up of membership by people not intending to play cricket has been very good. These people are as important to the club as any other member and are often the first people to help the club out off the field. At the very least they offer their support and encouragement to our teams and put the good word around town about our club. A photo-board is being constructed of all members and associates of the club. This work in progress can be seen at the club. The intention of the board is to encourage and fast track players getting to know ALL members of the club. What the club doesn t want is for clicks to exist in which people only socialise with the people they tend to play cricket with on a Saturday. Successful clubs are inclusive of all its members. For the photo-board to be effective it needs to be completed ASAP. There is a tripod and camera set up on Thursday and Saturday nights and it literally takes only five seconds for the photo to be taken. Partners and children will be invited to have their photos taken as well. Bye for now, COLIN CUNLIFFE (membership officer).

5 Bizarre start to 'summer' of cricket OLD Geelong cricketers agree. It is as least a quarter of century since there has been a start like this. So far half the season has been lost to rain. Bell Post Hill has not even batted yet. Their coach Bryan Thomas remains optimistic that when the season properly gets going Newtown & Chilwell can not only stay in Division One but look at finals as well. "It's starting to get frustrating," Thomas said. Is this the same town that had to cancel the fixture list after Christmas because of drought just four summers ago? The players at Newtown & Chilwell and Manifold Heights don't know whether to laugh or cry. The two teams most predict will battle to avoid relegation were playing each other in a round effectively worth double points to both clubs. The 1sts after day one slightly favoured the Sharks, who had 199 on board on the low scoring Hurst Reserve, but the Blues 2nds had already secured first innings points on day one in their clash. Newtown & Chilwell could also point out its 1sts had been in the box seat with 275 against North Geelong in the previous round before that match was also washed out. "We had such a good pre-season and we can't get out on the ground to convert our great work to wins. "It's going to be up to the coaches to keep their teams up and about, because there's going to be a mad rush for points once we get some continuous cricket. "In my mind on paper we have recruited well and have a good list so we are looking at getting in to the finals. "At the same time it's essential we get plenty of Club Championship points right through the grades. So the win by our 2nds over Manifold Heights was very valuable. "The whole club is up after our great T20 win last week, too. We were looking forward to chasing the 200 at Manifold Heights on Saturday. I think it would have been an excellent cricket match." Manifold Heights knows how precious every point is, without letting it distract them from their immediate purpose of winning cricket matches. "We knew this was a really important game," said Sharks President and leading all-rounder Craig Booley. "Newtown & Chilwell, us and a couple of other clubs are the ones fighting to avoid relegation. "It was a little bit disappointing to give up the points in the twos, but the other grades were all in strong positions after the first day. "We knew Ben Neville was the key in the firsts for them and we were going to target him. "Our wicket has improved a lot and the bounce is much truer, but the outfield is quite slow so 199 on the board was a strong score. "Damian DeGoldi keeps us up to date with Club Championship points and where we are with the bigger picture, but it's more important not to lose focus. If we get too far ahead and worry about that we might forget how to win. "It has been hard because we have had so little cricket. But the vibe around the club is good. We're strengthening our lower grades, Charlie Owen and myself will probably play twos for example, and promoting some of our younger guys." For the Two Blues the spectre of relegation is a newer problem than for the Sharks but just as real.
