Australia Day Cricket Match

Australia Day is coming up next Friday and what better way to spend the day listening to Triple J's top 100 sinking beers with ya mates around a bbq at a mutant cricket match.

We have one full team confirmed without making any calls so you will all here from me in the next couple of days.

The venue I will disclose over the phone. Have to be early to get a cricket pitch on Australia Day so I will be there from 7.00am to secure the pitch. Teams will be picked before the start of play around 9.00am

Cricket gear and bbq is organized BYO food and liquids. Plenty of shade available.

I am pretty keen to start our own Ashes tradition so if anyone has an idea for something we can burn to give to the winning team to hold for a year let me know. I will provide an urn to hold the Ashes.

The first inaugrual Mutant St,Ashes got underway on a typical stinking fuckin hot summers day in Brisvegas. The Northside crew won the toss and put the Southside in to bat, which gave us a distinct advantage as the Southside would have to field later that day and were expected to self destruct in the tepid soup of heat, beers and green action.

Neither team was able to take advantage of the pygmy sized oval and limited athetic prowess, with the Southside bundled out for 131 in 20th of the 30 allotted overs. Most batsman managed to score a few runs with Mick occupying the crease for an extended period for his 9 runs. If he spent as much time batting as he did drinking from his stash behind the stumps he may well have made double figures. The Northside as expected bowled and fielded like a well oiled unit with Pierre throwing himself around the field when he was watching the game. Jamesy and Luke formed a tight alliance behind the stumps with Jamesy glovesmanship reminicent of way back when then was not now.

The lunchbreak saw a few bbq'ed cuts of various animals washed down with some more beer and green action.

Southside took the field and group huddled to give the impression they had some sort of semblance of a plan, but the look of apprehension on their faces told the real story. Like a monkey fucking a coconut, they too knew they had been presented with a nearly impossible task, of defending a meagre total against a star packed side of has beens and once could have beeners.

After seeing off the beer affected, and misdirected pace of Mick and Dennis, the remaining bunch of part timers were spanked all over the oval by Luke, Paul and Jamesy with the total achieved with 10 overs to spare. Well done to the Northsiders with the Southside expected to need the next 12 months to regroup if they are going to have any chance of gaining the St,Ashes in 2008.
