Had fun commentating and umpiring the Laneway Cricket local Derby headed up by Dirk Nannes for the Renegades and James Pattinson for the Stars. Julie Hunter was also present for the VicSpirit. Great work Stephanie Newton from Cricket Victoria pulling it together and Ray Kuffer for umpiring.

‘Tons of Runs’ is a remarkable research and publishing achievement that documents centuries from Australians in all forms of competitive cricket from the 1850’s until 2007/8. It includes photos, essays, articles and cricketers’ narrations with a heavy emphasis upon grass roots participation.
Link to Marcus Curnow’s Facebook Gallery is here. His maiden 100 from 2003/4 appears on pg. 346!
The Credo Parkies commenced their Reclink Australia Twenty20 season for the Clem Briggs Jnr Memorial Trophy at Lilydale yesterday. Outer East Trailblazers made 168 off their 20 overs with Gavin the best of the bowlers with 2/23. Alan made a quickfire 17 with the bat creating a solid foundation before Credo Parkies crashed to be bowled out for 50.
Excited to see Urban Seed’s Credo Cricket lads joining forces with the Aboriginal Fitzroy Parkies to form CREDO PARKIES for the upcoming Reclink Australia cricket season.
A full Facebook Gallery from the warm up in Melbourne’s Laneways!
