true comment abt afroze siddiqui, he is a good player but too overrated, lot of people seem to just notice his performances Vs. DIVII teams or what he does in a 30/30 game or what he did in dallas, he hasnt really done anything in DIVI
Well Bhavesh had a good average last season for the team with the best record in the league. He also is a pretty good bowler. So I can see why he would be selected.
don't like bowlers who chuck. Never have and never will. they need to get their action right ro stop bowling. This excuse about this is how i have been bowling and no complaint is pure horse crap?. Well some is telling you now you chuuuuccckkk, so stop.. there is one player from royals. think his name is Roopesh. He just blatantly pelt when he wants speed.
so who are the best batsmen in the league?? I would like bowlers like Mehul, Raheel etc, to give their feed back who do they think are the toughest to bowl against. I am sure Shahid munir, Ajit (from wild cats) will be on top of that list!
I consider Ruchir one of the fastest bowlers in the league. I think ppl saying he is not quick may not have seen the Div 2 finals last year. He single turned the match around with his pace and accuracy.

i know this one guy who bowls pretty quick. have seen him few times practicing at hannover park. i m not sure if he plays for division 1 or 2. i wish i could remember the name. he was bowling from may be like 15-18 yards. may be he is in division 2 but he looked quite quick.
Its very hard to beat MU in Lincoln park. Especailly with the attack they have. Maybe in Washington Park or Hanover Park. MU looks like a very hard working team.
United should win because they play well under pressure and they have Mehul, who has one of the best cricketing brains in MCC.
Rest of the bunch, except for Faisal, really lack people skills and worry too much about other things not concerning to cricket.
They should forget about all the other controversies and concentrate/enjoy their cricket. Maybe then they will emerge as champions that they used to be.
Out of all the bowlers I have faced so far, Shahid Munir and Satish Reddy are the quickest. However, with their run ups, you know that it's coming express. It's bowlers like Rashid khan that are decieving. He just takes a two step start and deliver it very fast. It almost comes as a surprise because of his age, body and run up. Same thing with Muhammad Arshad of Muslim Gymkhana.
he is right arm and i am not even sure if i have seen him playing ay game in division2. he must be then in division 1 or not playing at all. i can assure you that he was very quick of the pitch.

i think however that flames should win against tigers. tigers have not won too many games.
flames are pretty decent. they r not too good but not too bad either. they shd beat tigers. they beated united too. i am not sure if its luck. we will see in next few games
flames is a presidenst team and they have full support of league umpires. if some one looks at their night schedule, u can clearly see that they have week teams in their groups. i am very sure that president wants his team in playoffs either by hook or crook so be careful teams who have games againts flames. don,t be surprised if u get out lbw even if u hit the ball with bat.
does everyone think flames schedule is generally easy teams atleast in night games and do u guys think that sometime umpire gives decision in their favors.
i can promise you that rogers park would have beated flames if umpires had not given wrong decisions. conclusion: they r ok but they also have support of umpires
"Flames is just Kiran and Nasir. Their batting collapses when kiran is out and bowling is over when nasir is tired, i.e after 4 balls of his first over "
thats funny and true..lol...
This year even kiran is not playing well must be the pressure of leading a sorry bunch or losers.. ZING
Flames cheatd with United? Can somebody explain what happened and how come nobody brought it up? Considering Adnan in that team, this should have been all over cricket web sites that President's team cheated with United.
I agree..flames cant even complete 11 players this season, they played with 8 players against Milwaukee united. Nasir cant even finish his first over with full run up, it shortens with every delivery he bowls. Flames and play offs...HAHA..
who has got the best reputation as a team and worst as a team.
worst forsure has to be pakgymkhana. undoubted champiions for now as many years as they r playing cricket. shahid may be the best allrounder but he is also very illmannered and rude. afterall cricket is not just what goes in the field, its also about the attitude of players and team as a whole.
when was last time we saw a post by pak gymkhana player appreciating any opposition player.
Yea, I do not know who decided to take Nasir to LA.
Can Tushar or somebody tell how he did in LA cup (somebody who went to LA, )? He cant even get any wickets here in Div 1 or when he played in Div 2, imagine him bowling to international players..haha
"Why are we talking abt flames and united they are both not making the play-offs. Both love controversy and are bad teams lead by bad captains "

Dude you are one sorry person in this world. Atleast show some respect for teams and their players. For records, there was no cheating in Flames vs United. Flames played better cricket that day and won.

Guys, Please refrain from making comments with United's name on it if you are not from United CC. All United players have enough integrity to reveal themselves when writing on this blog. The comments involving Adnan vs Flames on this blog are down right stupid and irrisponsible. There is no animosity between United and any other team in this league. People should quit firing thier guns on other peoples shoulders.
Phoenix lets see u beet MUCC, ur streak and bragging right swill be stripped from u this weekend, watch out.... You guys are good bunch of guys with an excellent team, but u need to stop bragging, u just came to DIVI get to the semis or something then talk... anyways GoodLuck
-------------- MUCC and St. Louis win becuz they play at home. Bring em to Washington park and most teams in div.1 will beat them.
----------------------
On the same logic, Chicago teams win in Chicago on their home grounds and get their ass kicked when they go out of town to St.Louis or Milwaukee!! Heh heh.
oh by the way , why is Rivercity down at the botton of the table..they play all their games in their home ground and why is the other Milwaukee Team struggling, they also play in their home ground...screwed up AH.

People! What is with all this bitterness and animosity against players / teams? Why hatred? I'm sure there are only 2-3 trash talkers on here who just do it for the fun of it! First they were after Pak Gym and Raheel, now its Flames and Nasir and even Bears are being dragged in the mud. Can't we have a constructive discussion about anything?
ANON 3:30 Yea bears is the team to watch out for.... Does anybody know their score against Rogers park last night.
2 overs and 2 wickets lost at 5-6 with their joker looking captain as one down ? Yes..watch out!!! ------------------------------ it looks like we beat you really bad and left an impression, thats why u have so much hate against us, anyways which team r u from??
united has the best reputation as a team and pak gymkhana has the worst. muslim gymkhana, bears and rogers park are not too far begind pak gymkhana. i am sure if any team is close to pak, it is either bears or rogers park.
this blog war is so funny its cracks me up so many fakers thrash talkers are on here, none of them have balls to state there names yet talk shit about other teams and players, whatever u have to say say it on the field my friends win or loose it part of the game and i hope this leauge is not all u have going for urself cuz u "anons" sure act like it ur 30 seconds of recognition.
jignesh wow no indian team for bad reputation, speaks a lot about u and what personality you have... have u been readng the phoneix posts, and have u played MUCC.. sorry to say man ur being biased with ur judgement.., which team are u from

-----------------------------------
Mr. genius, chicago tems don't have any home advantage because they play in chicago against teams who are also from chicago so the home advantage cancels out.
And plz don't mention teams like milwaukee CC, they got out on 24 once...there's no point compring them to rest of the division 1 teams. btw, rivercity was number 3 in the points table last year but got their behind whooped in the very first playoff game...
Guys, We need to use this forum for constructive discussion. I am very sure that these posts are written by same guy and my suspicion is on pak Gymkhana as there is hardly any post from raheel today.
just joining others in appreciating what hari, jaggi and co. have done.Its a brilliant idea and i'll continue to think so until i get fired for slacking off at work! to interrupt everybody's flow of thoughts for a purely selfish reason, any tips/ pointers about milwaukee CC specific players/ ground conditons,etc? i did put my 2 cents in about the list of players before but it must be my computer unsavviness that screwed things up, i'm beginning to realize i'm denser than the heritage park outfield! not heard from tushar and sadiq lately( i guess they like their job more than i do ):)raheel, hope you feel better soon.asmar, thats nice of you to own up. romeen
ppl, plz dont bring up nationality or religion becuz then its gonna get real ugly... i like to diss other teams but thats all in fun but when u diss others' religion or country then it gets serious.
look pak gymkhana all hitting and lots of extras with lots of fun. can do wonders with bal and bat and at the same time drop sitters. Pace is all they know.

"man that place can be hell to play on a hot day, good luck PAK"
Yeah, I've experienced it that's why I'm dreading it! In Chicago you atleast get a breeze.
By the way Nasir just called and wanted to know who's been writing against him - he was like: "mein too kuch likhta bhi nahin wahan yar, meri kyun le rahay hain". ;)
Rup - The game against you guys this weekend starts at 9AM in Naperville, bcuz of ground availability. You may confirm this with our team captain and the umpire. Please pass this msg to your team members. Hopefully, the umpire reads this as well!!!
Obviously, this whole situation is awkward for me, given that I am a player on the Giants team, as well as a member of the MCC management team.
Evanston and the Giants have had a number of very good games over the years, and always in the best spirit. It is unfortunate that this one had to end this way. Magnus is a great guy; he has done a lot for the MCC over the years, and I have always had the greatest respect for him and his knowledge of the game.
He and I decided that he should umpire the game -- this was probably a mistake because even the best job done by him can be interpreted as being tainted by a conflict of interest. It would be very much like me umpiring the same game as an MCC official (that is, if I knew anything about umpiring).
At any rate, there were a number of calls made that the Giants disagreed with. I will not share my personal thoughts on the correctness of those calls. But, it did get to a point where the Giants felt that the situation had become unacceptable. As a senior member of the team, my suggestion to my fellow Giants was to walk off, rather than have the situation degenerate. The rules are fairly clear... the team that walks off loses the game. Evanston has been awarded the 4 points and that's that. Both teams played well, and someone had to win.
There's a lesson in this for the management (mostly myself, as the Div II VP). We'll take those lessons to heart, and continue trying to make the rest of the season enjoyable.
As a member of the Giants, I would like to wish Evanston the best, and look forward to meeting them in the playoffs (if we make it that far). Then, I'm sure both teams will try their best to put the shadow of the past game behind us, and just play for the fun of it.
We're all far too old (well, at least I am), and have far too many other things in life to worry about, to take this game that seriously.
I was indeed describing Whitewater ground when you asked about Lindsay Park - thats where all MUCC games take place (when it's available, otherwise Lincoln Park, where Milwaukee CC play).
Nasir,
Sweet n sour? Try not to think about food all the time!;)
"Its time you realise that stamina doesn't matter that much its more related to talent, skill and BRAINS (which you lack)."
If you think it doesn't matter, then why are you goin on about it? And I'm perfectly ok with the state of my brain, how's yours? or where's yours would be a more appropriate question;).
i agree with "anonymous" that having anon comments is helpful in terms of getting more participants and certainly contributed to a wider range of ideas being voiced. Not everyone is comfortable posting sharp opinions even under a fake name if that means they have to register somewhere with a valid email address. Its not fun for me to have to keep deleting ugly posts.
I will be away until the 14th and Jaggi will be at the controls. So, if you see any problems here, you know who to curse!
I have not had a chance to check all the posts(was travelling on work). Couldnt believe that we had about 200 comments in one day. I did see a comment about Heritage Park. Just to clarify, the park district does cut the grass very regularly. The problem is that the grass is pretty thick at Heritage Park. They cant go any deeper as that will burn the grass in this hot sun. The other grounds have good outfields. If they dont, please send an email to(management@midwestcricket.org)or use the Request system on the website. PS: The blog should not be used for any official communication between teams or between the team and management.
Athreya, from Tigers, is a good slip fielder. Outfield - Shailesh from Tigers has good pair of hands and very good technique. Though most Wildcats players are good catchers, SP has to be the best in the outfield.
Another interesting thing to find out is who has the best throwing arm. Couple of years, I saw TarunReddy throw from the deep and he always managed to throw it to the the keeper with very minimal effort. Vinod, from Tigers, has a great arm.
Romeen.. I like your suggestion of mixing players in the night tournament.
Jamal Jehangir (currently on Arsenal roster), whom I played with in erstwhile Naper CC has a very good arm...apart from his pace...one of the best in Div 2. He is not playing this year, though.
Two from Eagles (Ganesan Giridharan and Sunil Sejwal) have good throwing arms. Infact, one of the oldest member of our side is Sunil and he is the fittest too. Kind of like Azhar and Robin Singh during their sunset years ..oldest members, but the most fittest.
Romeen.. you guys have always caught well against us :)
It is very frustrating to not be able to play. The catch against Muslim Gymkhana(of Imran) that I dropped, did in reality break my thumb. I continued playing with a swollen/broken finger and now am paying the penalty for it. Out of action for a month(have not played the last 3 weekends). What I was told was that an injury to the thumb, if not taken care of, can lead to arthritis. Any docs in the league that can confirm this?

are you referring to Faisal Nafasat, becuase Salman Nafasat is his brother and he doesnt bowl..
Hammad
true comment abt afroze siddiqui, he is a good player but too overrated, lot of people seem to just notice his performances Vs. DIVII teams or what he does in a 30/30 game or what he did in dallas, he hasnt really done anything in DIVI
I agree, I dont know how he got selected for LA open this year and last year
bcause he umpires 9 to 10 games every season...
hahahah
In that case, Sadiq should be the captain....
What abt Bhavesh of Chall? How did he go to LA?!
he is a very good player. sound technique with straight bat. whatelse would u want in a batsmen.
appreciate the good thgs abbt him. he is one of leagues best. admit it.
Rogers park
Well Bhavesh had a good average last season for the team with the best record in the league. He also is a pretty good bowler. So I can see why he would be selected.
i guess he paid for his own trip..., remember asmar last year going to the LA open, i also heard that he paid for his trip thats why he got to go..
i was talking abt afroz if there is any doubt
I think Bhavesh of Challengers flew to LA... What do you think?
who is most improved player this year and what about any new young potential guys
division 1 and 2
lol Rogers Park,
don't force it. Ajit Ramaswami and Kiran are two guys with sound technique not Afroze
many of PHNX players can be considered as imporved players,
imran of muslim...
dont knwo much abt DIVII
no afroze has good technique, hes a good batsman, cant argue abt his technique, but he needs to perfrom more with better bowling attacks..
most improved has to be Imran
heres one, do you think Bakshi Chug's(or throws) the ball a little, there is something definetly diff abt his action..??
Kiran is one batsman in the league who has a sound technique and an excellent shot selection.
Chug's? CHUCKS*
Wow..this is like the fastest written blog....there are posts every minite...oh wait more than one posts in a minute!
ya u get the point..right?
you aren't supposed to talk about Bakshi's bowling action or chuktion. Its forbidden!!!!!
this blog is treat at work, u never feel bored at aymore, thanks so much jaggii, lagay rahooo!!!!!
at work*
well everybody lets call on all those bowlers who u beleive chuck's...
lets see what interesting names come up...
Gotham from Late Meadows
Gotham City?
kiran stike rate is not satisfactoryu. just blocking the balls is also not a compact technique,. u need some kind od shots too.
gotham khera i belive that was his name...
don't like bowlers who chuck. Never have and never will. they need to get their action right ro stop bowling.
This excuse about this is how i have been bowling and no complaint is pure horse crap?. Well some is telling you now you chuuuuccckkk, so stop..
there is one player from royals. think his name is Roopesh.
He just blatantly pelt when he wants speed.
oh ya ur right, i remember this guy... he does he literally throws, man ur right now i remember, he should be stopped from bowling..
well if u stop Bakshi from bowling then Pak Gymkhana become pretty one dimensional. All they have are fast bowlers!!!!!
he should be stopped, im telling there is something suspect about his action, his release is not right..
so who are the best batsmen in the league?? I would like bowlers like Mehul, Raheel etc, to give their feed back who do they think are the toughest to bowl against. I am sure Shahid munir, Ajit (from wild cats) will be on top of that list!
well u better nto tell Irfan Sohail about that.
about what anon 1:39
I consider Ruchir one of the fastest bowlers in the league. I think ppl saying he is not quick may not have seen the Div 2 finals last year. He single turned the match around with his pace and accuracy.
about Bakshi and his bowling action.
Kiran is one of the most reliable batsmen in the league
Sohail Alvi, Kiran, Ajit, Shahid, Hasan are all up there IMO. Also I think Romeen has a very good technique.
-Raheel.
Will we ever get our ground back in washington park? It hardly gets used by the outside league. Why did we lose it in the first place?
My list of really good bastmen in MCC, (in no specific order)
Kiran K
Shahid
Hasan
Ajit
Romeen
Vikram
Afroze
Laxmikumar
Satha
Bhavesh
Please feel free to add to it.
List of good bowlers,
Mehul
Nasir
Nilesh
Raheel
Shahid
Satish
Asif
Keep adding guys
Predictions for this weeks games,
Muslim v/s Chargers - Muslim
Flames v/s Tigers - Flames
Rivercity v/s Rogers Park - Rogers
Milwaukee United v/s Phoenix - MU
Bears v/s United - United
MilwaukeeCC v/s Wildcats - Wildcats
St. Louis CC v/s Pak - Pak
Purdue v/s Challengers - Challenger
What do you ppl think?
phoenix might upset MU and bears vs. united is 50% chance for both .
i agree with the rest of the predictions...
i know this one guy who bowls pretty quick. have seen him few times practicing at hannover park. i m not sure if he plays for division 1 or 2. i wish i could remember the name. he was bowling from may be like 15-18 yards. may be he is in division 2 but he looked quite quick.
mohsin
Its very hard to beat MU in Lincoln park. Especailly with the attack they have. Maybe in Washington Park or Hanover Park. MU looks like a very hard working team.
Rupesh from royals is quick too.
I can be quick too if I was allowed to chuck the ball ! :P
United v/s Bears -
United should win because they play well under pressure and they have Mehul, who has one of the best cricketing brains in MCC.
Rest of the bunch, except for Faisal, really lack people skills and worry too much about other things not concerning to cricket.
They should forget about all the other controversies and concentrate/enjoy their cricket. Maybe then they will emerge as champions that they used to be.
ALL THE BEST UCC
"I can be quick too if I was allowed to chuck the ball ! :P "
Now, why did I know that was
coming ....lol
Rupesh is not all that quick, he chucks as well.
Mohsin - is he left arm or right arm and on what days have u seen him?
Must be Bakshi or gotham khera...
Out of all the bowlers I have faced so far, Shahid Munir and Satish Reddy are the quickest. However, with their run ups, you know that it's coming express. It's bowlers like Rashid khan that are decieving. He just takes a two step start and deliver it very fast. It almost comes as a surprise because of his age, body and run up. Same thing with Muhammad Arshad of Muslim Gymkhana.
he is right arm and i am not even sure if i have seen him playing ay game in division2. he must be then in division 1 or not playing at all. i can assure you that he was very quick of the pitch.
Muslim v/s Chargers - Muslim
Flames v/s Tigers - Tigers
Rivercity v/s Rogers Park - Rogers
Milwaukee United v/s Phoenix - MU
Bears v/s United - Bears
MilwaukeeCC v/s Wildcats - Wildcats
St. Louis CC v/s Pak - Pak
Purdue v/s Challengers - Purdue
may be tuesdays, wednesdays or sometimes thursdays
its towards the end of weekdays, he normally shows up,.
i think he is in division 2. i m quite sure. he has not played many games yet. soon will everybody see him
"he is right arm and i am not even sure if i have seen him playing ay game in division2....."
I think I know who you are talking is he the one who practices with wildcats or flames or united at hanover park... I think he plays with flames ... his name is Zeeshan Khan....
Muslim v/s Chargers - Muslim
Flames v/s Tigers - Tigers
Rivercity v/s Rogers Park - Rogers
Milwaukee United v/s Phoenix - MU
Bears v/s United - Bears

St. Louis CC v/s Pak - Pak
Purdue v/s Challengers - Purdue
i think however that flames should win against tigers. tigers have not won too many games.
no he is a carribean guy
Tigers should win easily.
Flames doesn't have much of a team this year.
They have been just plain lucky or have played lesser teams.
that was me.
mohsin
that guy is carribean and he is very tall
flames are pretty decent. they r not too good but not too bad either. they shd beat tigers.
they beated united too. i am not sure if its luck. we will see in next few games
United lost to flames because of dropped catches and cheating by flames
flames is a presidenst team and they have full support of league umpires.
if some one looks at their night schedule, u can clearly see that they have week teams in their groups.
i am very sure that president wants his team in playoffs either by hook or crook so be careful teams who have games againts flames. don,t be surprised if u get out lbw even if u hit the ball with bat.
"flames are pretty decent. they r not too good but not too bad either. they shd beat tigers."
Flames is just Kiran and Nasir. Their batting collapses when kiran is out and bowling is over when nasir is tired, i.e after 4 balls of his first over
yeah i agree with that....lol
I think Purdue and Challengers
Milwaukee United and Phoenix
are the games to watch this weekend.
Nothing exciting about Pak and St Louis game. It wont be entertaining. But Purdue/Challengers and Milwaukee United/Phoenix will be lots of fun.
Phoenix guy.
does everyone think flames schedule is generally easy teams atleast in night games and do u guys think that sometime umpire gives decision in their favors.
i can promise you that rogers park would have beated flames if umpires had not given wrong decisions.
conclusion: they r ok but they also have support of umpires
fan of cricket
We are gearing up to beat Milwaukee United this week. Watch out Phoenix is coming!!
"Flames is just Kiran and Nasir. Their batting collapses when kiran is out and bowling is over when nasir is tired, i.e after 4 balls of his first over

rogers park the biggest cheaters in league
Why are we talking abt flames and united they are both not making the play-offs. Both love controversy and are bad teams lead by bad captains
yea lets talk about pak gym again ... was there any controversy in the night match vs united?
Flames should be called "MCC Presidents XI" not to the confused by the MCC Presidents XI in Melbourne Australia
I agree..flames cant even complete 11 players this season, they played with 8 players against Milwaukee united.
Nasir cant even finish his first over with full run up, it shortens with every delivery he bowls. Flames and play offs...HAHA..
who has got the best reputation as a team and worst as a team.
worst forsure has to be pakgymkhana. undoubted champiions for now as many years as they r playing cricket. shahid may be the best allrounder but he is also very illmannered and rude. afterall cricket is not just what goes in the field, its also about the attitude of players and team as a whole.
when was last time we saw a post by pak gymkhana player appreciating any opposition player.
not sure about the best though.
ur opinions
Bears showed flames and nasir were the really stand, i.e. in division II. hahaha
Bears are the team to look out for
Yea, I do not know who decided to take Nasir to LA.
Can Tushar or somebody tell how he did in LA cup (somebody who went to LA, )?
He cant even get any wickets here in Div 1 or when he played in Div 2, imagine him bowling to international players..haha

Yes Sir.
We were enjoying such a nice blog about best batsmen and bowlers in league. How did we get into all this crap?
I agree! I guess people need to stop blowing horns of their own teams and use this for fun, unless people consider 'blowing' as fun (horns i mean).
i agree too

united has the best reputation as a team and pak gymkhana has the worst.
muslim gymkhana, bears and rogers park are not too far begind pak gymkhana. i am sure if any team is close to pak, it is either bears or rogers park.

Bears

i had lot of time

asmar najam

On the same logic, Chicago teams win in Chicago on their home grounds and get their ass kicked when they go out of town to St.Louis or Milwaukee!!
Heh heh.
oh by the way , why is Rivercity down at the botton of the table..they play all their games in their home ground and why is the other Milwaukee Team struggling, they also play in their home ground...screwed up AH.
-----------------------------------
Mr. genius, chicago tems don't have any home advantage because they play in chicago against teams who are also from chicago so the home advantage cancels out.
And plz don't mention teams like milwaukee CC, they got out on 24 once...there's no point compring them to rest of the division 1 teams. btw, rivercity was number 3 in the points table last year but got their behind whooped in the very first playoff game...
That comment about teams from India and Pakistan was in bad taste. Please don't start that here.
AG
Oh God what are we starting here.
Guys, We need to use this forum for constructive discussion.
I am very sure that these posts are written by same guy and my suspicion is on pak Gymkhana as there is hardly any post from raheel today.
I am just guessing. Who knows
Moe, stop with this run on sentences dude ;)
Saad
Muslim Gymkhana
just joining others in appreciating what hari, jaggi and co. have done.Its a brilliant idea and i'll continue to think so until i get fired for slacking off at work!
to interrupt everybody's flow of thoughts for a purely selfish reason, any tips/ pointers about milwaukee CC specific players/ ground conditons,etc?
i did put my 2 cents in about the list of players before but it must be my computer unsavviness that screwed things up, i'm beginning to realize i'm denser than the heritage park outfield!
not heard from tushar and sadiq lately( i guess they like their job more than i do ):)raheel, hope you feel better soon.asmar, thats nice of you to own up.
romeen
ppl, plz dont bring up nationality or religion becuz then its gonna get real ugly...
i like to diss other teams but thats all in fun but when u diss others' religion or country then it gets serious.
the mixed teams u r talking abt are pretty much Indian, like an 80/20 ratio...
why are you taklking crap when i am telling you to stop. Ok you guys are the best. agaian don,t take this personal.
i think we all should play together with good spirit as we are not playing here for the world cup. we only want to enjoy the weekend and thats aLL.
THANKS

Anybody with any dignity and self respect should ignore the postings demeaning someones nationality or religion.
I can't believe in todays world and especially living in USA WE are still fighting AMONST US.
We all are one...
Please refrain and show respect
Please dont spoil this blog with the indo/pak stuff.. We are mature enough not to argue about this things
i agree
look pak gymkhana all hitting and lots of extras with lots of fun. can do wonders with bal and bat and at the same time drop sitters. Pace is all they know.

Should've done this long time ago and keep it the way it is please.
' This is the only way to stop Pak gymkhana from becoming champiions.

As much as I agree with disallowing such posts, that was funny! Apparently we have a pimp in MCC!;)
this thread is hot with so many comments posted in one day. makes it much more nicer with registered users. thanks Hari.
Well said faisal.
"Also, there is this guy Ankit "Nator" Ahuja, he's from Saturn"
Are you sure he's not from Uranus? ;)
Anonymous 4:02pm,I get the feeling its from someone at Illinois Cricket club
at this rate, its PG-50
"Raheel,
lol...comeon man, lets keep this at PG-13."
lol alright, my bad - just bored at the end of the day at work!
:( We have to go to St Louis (93 F) - I ain't down with that!
"man that place can be hell to play on a hot day, good luck PAK"
Yeah, I've experienced it that's why I'm dreading it! In Chicago you atleast get a breeze.
By the way Nasir just called and wanted to know who's been writing against him - he was like: "mein too kuch likhta bhi nahin wahan yar, meri kyun le rahay hain". ;)
Aditya,
Lindsay Park is Astroturf, similar to the St Louis one - its predominantly a batting wicket.
can someone provide a list of good slip fielders in the league?
Rup - The game against you guys this weekend starts at 9AM in Naperville, bcuz of ground availability. You may confirm this with our team captain and the umpire. Please pass this msg to your team members. Hopefully, the umpire reads this as well!!!
Chicago Giants vs. Evanston: My $0.02 worth...
Obviously, this whole situation is awkward for me, given that I am a player on the Giants team, as well as a member of the MCC management team.
Evanston and the Giants have had a number of very good games over the years, and always in the best spirit. It is unfortunate that this one had to end this way. Magnus is a great guy; he has done a lot for the MCC over the years, and I have always had the greatest respect for him and his knowledge of the game.
He and I decided that he should umpire the game -- this was probably a mistake because even the best job done by him can be interpreted as being tainted by a conflict of interest. It would be very much like me umpiring the same game as an MCC official (that is, if I knew anything about umpiring).
At any rate, there were a number of calls made that the Giants disagreed with. I will not share my personal thoughts on the correctness of those calls. But, it did get to a point where the Giants felt that the situation had become unacceptable. As a senior member of the team, my suggestion to my fellow Giants was to walk off, rather than have the situation degenerate. The rules are fairly clear... the team that walks off loses the game. Evanston has been awarded the 4 points and that's that. Both teams played well, and someone had to win.
There's a lesson in this for the management (mostly myself, as the Div II VP). We'll take those lessons to heart, and continue trying to make the rest of the season enjoyable.
As a member of the Giants, I would like to wish Evanston the best, and look forward to meeting them in the playoffs (if we make it that far). Then, I'm sure both teams will try their best to put the shadow of the past game behind us, and just play for the fun of it.
We're all far too old (well, at least I am), and have far too many other things in life to worry about, to take this game that seriously.
Aditya,
I was indeed describing Whitewater ground when you asked about Lindsay Park - thats where all MUCC games take place (when it's available, otherwise Lincoln Park, where Milwaukee CC play).
Nasir,
Sweet n sour? Try not to think about food all the time!;)
Well Mr. FS, you wouldn't know about stamina now would you - having to bowl spin from 2 paces!
"Its time you realise that stamina doesn't matter that much its more related to talent, skill and BRAINS (which you lack)."
If you think it doesn't matter, then why are you goin on about it? And I'm perfectly ok with the state of my brain, how's yours? or where's yours would be a more appropriate question;).
Ramesh Thyagarajan (Eagles) is a good slip catcher.
i agree with "anonymous" that having anon comments is helpful in terms of getting more participants and certainly contributed to a wider range of ideas being voiced. Not everyone is comfortable posting sharp opinions even under a fake name if that means they have to register somewhere with a valid email address. Its not fun for me to have to keep deleting ugly posts.
I will be away until the 14th and Jaggi will be at the controls. So, if you see any problems here, you know who to curse!
Hari
I have not had a chance to check all the posts(was travelling on work). Couldnt believe that we had about 200 comments in one day.
I did see a comment about Heritage Park. Just to clarify, the park district does cut the grass very regularly. The problem is that the grass is pretty thick at Heritage Park. They cant go any deeper as that will burn the grass in this hot sun.
The other grounds have good outfields. If they dont, please send an email to(management@midwestcricket.org)or use the Request system on the website.
PS: The blog should not be used for any official communication between teams or between the team and management.
Athreya, from Tigers, is a good slip fielder. Outfield - Shailesh from Tigers has good pair of hands and very good technique. Though most Wildcats players are good catchers, SP has to be the best in the outfield.
Another interesting thing to find out is who has the best throwing arm. Couple of years, I saw TarunReddy throw from the deep and he always managed to throw it to the the keeper with very minimal effort. Vinod, from Tigers, has a great arm.
Romeen.. I like your suggestion of mixing players in the night tournament.
Jamal Jehangir (currently on Arsenal roster), whom I played with in erstwhile Naper CC has a very good arm...apart from his pace...one of the best in Div 2. He is not playing this year, though.
Two from Eagles (Ganesan Giridharan and Sunil Sejwal) have good throwing arms. Infact, one of the oldest member of our side is Sunil and he is the fittest too. Kind of like Azhar and Robin Singh during their sunset years ..oldest members, but the most fittest.
Romeen - u have an excellent suggestion.
Romeen.. you guys have always caught well against us :)
It is very frustrating to not be able to play. The catch against Muslim Gymkhana(of Imran) that I dropped, did in reality break my thumb. I continued playing with a swollen/broken finger and now am paying the penalty for it. Out of action for a month(have not played the last 3 weekends).
What I was told was that an injury to the thumb, if not taken care of, can lead to arthritis. Any docs in the league that can confirm this?
