THE MISSEN STATEMENT
Mark Missen's review of Rd 4 Day 1

FREW STICKS LIKE GLUE
Harris continues run spree,
gets Woods out of strife

It took gutsy knocks from two opening batsmen at opposite ends of the age scale to bail their respective teams out of trouble on Saturday’s Round Four Longmuir Shield matches as the bowlers had their best day of the season.
West Bentleigh veteran Danny Frew saw his team collapse around him to be 7/106 against Bentleigh ANA but Frew’s experience shone through as he found a willing ally in Jack McLeod (51) with the pair adding 80 for the eighth wicket. Paul Morphett returned to the attack to remove McLeod and Frew followed soon after for a resilient 82 as Morphett (3/50) claimed the last three wickets and ANA would have been happy with their days work especially the performance of 17 year old Bryce Jansz in his second game who took 3/54 off 19 overs including two brilliant caught and bowled efforts.
Elwood’s in-form top order batsmen misfired for once and The Woods were 6/73 and in deep trouble against Omega’s Chris Clement (5/47) but Nathan Harris guided his team to a competitive 213. Harris eventually fell for 70 taking his season aggregate to 363 runs after four games in what was another outstanding effort from the young gun. Sammy Dagher (38) helped out to give his team a chance to keep their unbeaten record intact.
Le Page Park recruit Glen Czosneck showed that he will add plenty to The Panthers line up with a dashing 92 (including five sixes) against Carnegie South. Le Page lost both openers to be 2/18 but Czosneck and Steve McConchie (57) blasted a 140 run stand and their team looked like posting a huge score but the back half of the batting played some indiscriminate shots and Scott Handley (5/56) and newlywed Glen Gallagher (4/36) were just the men to capitalise and keep Le Page to an even 200.
Brighton Union skipper Ivan “Moose” Delac continued his fine record against Hampton Central playing a serene knock of 106 and combining well with former leader Con Pothitos(65) to get their team into a strong position at 4/228 but once Delac fell the innings went pear-shaped with the last four bats all failing to trouble the scorers as Central fought back well to take the last six wickets for only 25 runs. It was a fine effort from the Two-Blues after losing champion all-rounder Steve May after only two overs. David “Palmolive” Gold filled the breach taking 4/80 and getting good support from youngsters Brad Tomholt (3/47) and Chris Perries (3/44).
It was a similar story for Washington Park who began nicely against Bentleigh Uniting safely reaching 1/80 with Andrew Jewell (47) in good nick but Uniting’s experienced pace pair Damien Britt (5/30) and Simon “Chub” Surridge (3/50) leading a great fight back to kill off The Sharks for only 154. Peter Manakis also returned to the team and chimed in with two key wickets to get the ball rolling Uniting’s way. Uniting openers Backman and Turner then slipped into overdrive for the remaining ten overs to get through to stumps unscathed at 0/11. It was a less than disciplined batting display from Washington Park whose hierarchy will be again scratching their heads at their sides propensity for inconsistency.
In the game of the round between Mackie and East Sandringham it was a nip and tuck affair all day with Mackie grabbing early wickets, East regaining control through Anton Duddy (70), another bunch of wickets falling, a handy knock from Luke Dallas (40), another mini collapse and then handy late runs from East getting the final tally to a useful 230 when only 200 looked likely with 60 runs coming from the last two partnerships.
The one constant was Mackie’s Craig Park who once again showed what a clever and versatile performer he is as he kept East in check nearly all day before copping a bit of stick late in the day but still finishing with the fine figures of 6/86.
This game is beautifully poised and should be as tight as a pair of Levi’s muffin top jeans.
Woolnough Shield saw fine knocks from Hampton United all-rounder Mark Bell (90), Omega opener Jacob “Snake” Slucki (87) and Moorabbin West captain Steve Worker (72).
Century makers included Brighton Union’s Peter Hughes (147, D Grade), Hampton Central trio Darren Clark (128, F Grade), Darren “Max” Wilton (103, H Grade) and Michael Devola (100*, H Grade – just passing his age) and in a high scoring I Grade encounter Washington Park’s Andrew Verrall (203*) and Moorabbin Park’s Paul Donaldson (134*).
On the other side of the ledger Southside East-Caulfield’s Con Piplios (6/12, E Grade), Melbourne Wanderers Pat Malone (7/59, G Grade) in a fine solo effort and Brighton Union’s “Kev” Sheeny who took 7/67 including yet another hat trick in a season littered with them.
Mackie’s D.Krelle (75, Under 12C East) was the outstanding junior performer for the day having compulsorily retired on 30 before returning to finish a superb effort.
