      <title>A Season in Stats 2011/12 
         (Stephen Pearson)

      <description>&lt;b&gt;Item by Stephen Pearson on 6/05/2012 9:37:25 PM EST&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;/images/training/st_john_heart_start.png&quot; /&gt;
This season saw Alison ‘Scooby’ Chapman lead the runs for the season with 449 runs taking her career total to within 364 of 5,000, she was followed by Shawn Thomas with 385 runs for the season.  Antarpreet Singh Bajwa was in third with 302 runs, in a season that saw him finish second in the MCA A-reserve best and fairest.

With 1st XI Captain and club treasurer Ben ‘Ox’ Gordon passing 100 games this season. He also became only the 5th man to make 2,500 runs for the club, and with most of them for the first eleven.  This is indeed a landmark achievement.

Morgan Cole with 30 wickets this season, has moved into 9th place on the overall wicket takers. With 93 career games, he looks to become one of the fastest players to 100 games, in only his 7th season with the club.  Morgan also bowled the most maidens for the season with 28.

Kumudu Ananda’s rookie season is one of pure domination: 14 matches, 269 runs, 41 wickets and taking at the MCA C-Sunday bowling award with an average of 4.33 per wicket.

This season we saw 3 women play their 100th game for the club : Cat Jones, Katherine Broome, and Kelly Morris (After 14 seasons), becoming the 8th, 9th and 10th woman to do so.  Cat Jones also passed 1,000 career runs this season.

Most recorded boundaries for the season was 4th opening batsman John Page with 33 x 4s and no 6s, proving the value of hitting the ball along the ground.  Most 6s for the season was Antarpreet Singh Bajwa who cleared the rope 5 times.

Women’s Captain Anna Broomhall took 17 wickets for the season, passing 100 career wickets, and moving to 4th overall for female wicket takers.

David Barry-Macaulay took an amazing 10 field catches for the season, surpassed only by Ben Gordon’s 15 with the gloves.  

The most career matches remains with club founder: Craig Robinson (179), next is current club coach: Stephen Pearson (176), third is 5 times women’s club champion: Alison Chapman (167), and forth is fellow founding member: Don Baulch (162).

      <title>Morgan Cole 
         (Phillip Hill)
      </title>
      <link>http://www.gryphons.org.au/news/story.asp?storyid=302</link>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Item by Phillip Hill on 12/03/2012 11:52:10 AM EST&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear Steve,
 
I hope this email finds you and your family well. Remember Phillip with two L's for any future Pearsons. You may have thought that being an EX- MCA man would mean an end to unpleasant emails from me  but this is not the case.
 
I have to inform you that the best two balls I have seen delivered this season have come from young Master Cole. Both angled in, hit the seam and tore off stump from the ground; utterly unplayable and wasted on the standard of cricket they were delivered in.
 
Could I offer you a small consultation in that he also delivered the worst over for the year, containing three wides, and even the young gentleman(the Monash club is replete with gentleman) was pleased to see the end of the over. He also played two imperious cut shots and seemed like he was about to play a great innings. Luckily the Monash players, at the other end, committed suicide to prevent the Cole Train from continuing. It seems that even though the Monash players  could not get into University and had to go to Monash, they have both intelligence and sensitivity.
 
Once again Monash lost a game that I umpired and, once again, there was no rancor from the players. It is often said the only the losing team complains about the umpires but we both know that captains, teams and players can raise themselves about the common rut and be a credit to themselves and club.
 
I did crack a wobbly with Bruce, who turns up without a proper Monash cap, wearing the most ugly(he thinks cool) caps. I spent some of my umpiring fee on buying him a Monash cap and he immediately took four wickets. We must think about getting him to stop smoking and having that scar(tattoo) removed  He will then look, in my wife's terms, drop dead gorgeous and becoming a leading player.
 
Circulate this email amongst the club. That I an invited to be a part of the MCA and your club means I am certainly LUCKY PHIL.
 
Keep your finger up,
