In Senior/Junior cricket 200+ games played milestones are very hard to achieve. You can play for 10 years and still maybe only play only 120 games due to weather, heat and other events like weddings and work. Also much of our play in the past was all 2 days games that make it harder again.

Long time servant of the club Ari Morton plays his 250th game this Sunday for Carnegie CC. For Ari to reach this milestone has meant many continuous years of play and missing a very small amount of games due to injury.

Ari’s first game for Carnegie was in MCA B Sunday grade led by Paul Lamb on a warm Sunday afternoon at Albert Park back in 1999. His 250th game will also be in MCA B Sunday Grade this time on a cold wet Sunday afternoon at Waverley Oval in East Malvern vs his old foe South Yarra led by none other than himself.

Ari has also served the club in many positions over the years from Vice President to general committee member, Captain and in the present day he serves as our MCA delegate. Ari has also been responsible for many members joining the club and has always been a strong supporter of club functions.

Here are Ari’s stats for the club:

Games Played 249

Runs 5706

Wickets 221

Catches 110

Catches WK 56

Run Outs 28

Stumpings 16

Premiership 03/04 MCA A Grade

Premiership 12/13 MCA B Sunday

Good luck in your game this weekend and lets hope you make runs and take wickets like your first game for the club, 5 for and 40 runs!

The game starts at 12.30pm @ Waverley Oval (opposite the old Dairy Bell) Cnr Waverley and Malvern Rd, Ari would love to see people down there.

Hi All

As all would be aware we are in a early summer heatwave, the temps today and over the weekend will increase even further.

Current instructions from the associations is that all games are proceeding at this stage and it is “report to grounds”. All the skippers/Coaches/Managers are aware of the rules and will manage the games along with the opposing skipper and the umpires.

We have already had one game move forward for the day and that is the Saturday U-12’s they are now staring at 8am (be there 7.45am).

In Brief

If senior matches are moved forward your captains will advise you and if Friday/Saturday junior matches are effected your coaches and team managers will be in-touch.

The rules are pretty clear, in the VTCA if the temp is 38° or above in Moorabbin at the scheduled start time play can’t commence until the temp drops below 38°. If play does commence the off field side must check the 1196 weather line every 20 minutes and once the temp goes above 38° play will cease until the temps drops. The captains can agree to end the game at any time in these conditions taking into account the temp will most likely continue to increase.

In the MCA if the predicted temp is 40° or higher for Melbourne at 7.00am the MCA will reduce one day games to 70 overs (2 day matches no change), the captains at the toss may agree to shorten to a 60 over game. Again if the temp is 40° or above play can’t start and if the temp is below 40° and play commences the off field side must also check the 1196 weather line but check Melbourne’s temp.

In the ISEC for the Friday junior games if the temp is 35° or above at 4pm all matches are cancelled. The ISEC rules state the BOM website temp so we will guess that is for Melbourne.

In the SECA for the Saturday junior game if the temp is 37° at 8.00am play can’t start. If play gets underway and the temp stays at 37° or above for one hour play must be abandoned for the day. 1196 check Moorabbin

All associations and the council are clear that extra care should be taken, extra drinks breaks as required. Prepare correctly make sure that you are covered up and hydrated. Where association rules permit take drinks in the shade, have a drink bottle out with the square leg umpire.

Good luck and stay safe.
