Hello Again

Hello again and welcome to another week of the Square Leg Files. Great to see the end of day light saving, not that I am not a fan, it’s just that I enjoy the change. What are your thoughts on day light savings?

Cricket friend passes away

I was saddened to hear the news that Wimmera Mallee cricketing legend Ross “AR” Loats passed away last week. Now many in the Marnoo cricketing circles had a great affinity with “AR” as he provided great entertainment, humour and was a very good competitive cricketer. As mentioned he connected with many Marnoo cricketers over the years and many will remember his stable of sayings. Now I warn you that you have to of know Ross to find some of these funny but to those who do they will remain memories that can be only associated to Ross himself. Here are some…… McLennan you’re nothing but a dickhead – Killed it didn’t I Nisbet – If you are going to hit it in the air, hit it straight – Get a bag – Did you get a root? Mallee – Every dog has his day, some more than others – He can’t bat – He bowls plenty hittable – Wouldn’t mind facing him every week – Piss off would yu you young upstart.

Statement well founded

Bruce “Boofheads” Hendy’s footballing knowledge came to the fore last week when he made a genius statement that his beloved Blues would beat the Gold Coast. Well not really rocket science as it turned out but he did add a fair bit of incentive for Gazza and the Sun boys. If Carlton had of lost he would have dropped his strides and run down the main street of Marnoo in full daylight. Thanks Gazza for losing….

193 and counting

I can’t believe that I have served up 193 Square Leg Files on the blog, now I’m sure I did many more before we started the blog so I am guessing we are around 250 perhaps 300 editions of the Square Leg Files. Now that is a fair bit of bullshit over a long period of time.

Pup takes over as Captain

The MCC has moved very quickly onto the front foot by announcing Will “Pup” McAllister as the team Captain for season 2011/2012. Will is 19 next year and will become one of the youngest captains in MCC history. Our hearty congratulations go out to Will and I’m sure everyone will get behind him.

MCC winds up the year

About 40 turned out for the end of season day at Trent (& Kate) Carter’s place on Sunday. Not sure who won all the trophies but who needs trophies when you can catch about 40kg of yabbies tails. Not sure what time they all finished up but I’m told that it was a great day had by all.
