Here you will find the latest information from the clubhouse.
Some of the information may be awaiting confirmation but don't let that
stop you from reading it. If you have anything to submit, please feel
free to start spreading it around the grounds and i will soon pick it
up!
- Which Vikings skipper was volunteered by his brave son at a recent
"Father & Son Chat" night at school to stand in front
of the class holding a sign over his head referring to certain "unmentionables"
? And the bigger question is how did he do at anwering the questions
that came his way??
- Which under-rated Vikings batsman and occassional bowler has come
up with a novel way to stop losing his car keys in his cricket kit?
- The following opinion has been offered by a former Vikings stalwart.
The cricinfo article you refer to on the front page was far more balanced
than Peter Roebucks article in the SMH. He (Peter) claimed umpiring
errors and poor behaviour have rendered every match in Australia's winning
streak meaningless. Does nobody accept the umpires decision anymore?
The best team won both games. Every player who disputes the umpire's
decision on both sides should be fined at least and probably suspended.
Umpires can be replaced after the match but no matter how bad they are,
they have to be respected. The media is showing no respect for them
either and behaviour is slipping because of it. Even in our (NDCA) cricket
where umpiring is poor at best, the biggest problem by far is the way
that the players react to it! Can't argue
with that.
- Which Vikings player turned up at a Christmas BBQ bearing a birthday
gift for the hostess thinking he had been invited to her birthday party,
despite the fact her birthday is in February. Here at the uncovered
wicket we offer the following suggestion to the player. Read the invitation
or check with your wife first about which function you are attending!
- Can you guess which shirtless Pommie loving first grade Viking was
spotted on TV at the 2nd ODI cheering the Poms to victory in the rain?
Clue: He hit his first ever six this season! He is also a type of fish!
- Which Viking player has been wearing left handed batting gloves for
two seasons despite being a right handed bat? When asked why he did
this and was it more comfortable for him, he denied they were left handed
gloves. After consultation with his batting partner at the end of the
over, he discovered they were in fact left handed and he shook his head
in amazement! "Well I never knew" he said and proceeded to
smash a half century! If he had been wearing right handed gloves....
he would have got a hundred! True story.
- Which Viking has Alex Lloyd's "Your Beautiful" as his ringtone
on his mobile, "for when his girl
calls"! Or so he says!
- Which current player made the following declaration? " I don't
know what it is, but women seem to find me irresistable"!
- After having a few games off, which player arrived at North Ryde RSL
to play in the round 11 clash, only to find the selectors had given
him XI new team mates. Not to be deterred, he started his pre-match
stretch until rudely interrupted by a phone call from one of his "former"
Viking team mates, to tell him he was at the wrong *&%$#@ ground
and could he please get to Curtis Oval ASAP?
- The same Vikings 3rd Grade player went to follow a car back to our
new club after a game, followed the wrong car and ended up at Northmead
before he realised something was wrong!
- Which former NDCA club is
not very happy with their move to another association? After abandoning
the NDCA for greener pastures, that is all they have after the local
council did not mow the ground, or prepare and mark a wicket for them
to play on in the first round last weekend. If they had stayed with
us they would have played three complete rounds by now! As it turns
out, they have not bowled a ball. Seems they will get to have a longer
hibernation this year!!
- Which Viking team Captain was seen at the club watching the AFL grand
final while his team were fighting off defeat? This can't be right can
it? Apparently so. After arranging for a substitute fielder, "work"
finished at 12.30 and rather than join his side, the Captain put his
feet up at the club and cheered home the Swans.
- Which Viking sought consolation after the Eel's semi final loss by
laughing at the "nerdy kid" crying when he didn't win on the TV show,
Australia's Brainiest Kid?
- Which Viking knocked a guy unconscious at a work Christmas Party with
a slap?
- Which Viking kingpin was wed in secret earlier this year? All was
very hush hush until a last minute squealer spilt the beans. The damage
was done, but we could not squeeze a location out of the nark so there
was no mass attendance from the Vikings. Several key Vikings noses are
well and truly out of joint. After doing his own research into the out
of joint snouts, the offender was quoted as saying, " I couldn't
give a rats, and you can quote me". So we did.
- At a recent Vikings wedding, which player, whilst dipping his partner
during a dance, dropped her flat on her back as the Bulldogs scored
a try, as he was watching the game as he danced? He threw his arms in
the air and shouted at the screen as he saw the try and his partner
fell flat on her back! Hint: They were playing the Eels!!!
- Which Premiership winning player was last seen walking about on the
ROOF of the Albion Hotel Parramatta in his full cricket Whites trying
to catch a cab at around 3.00 a.m Monday morning?
- Which Vikings player refused to allow his teams match report to be
posted so as not to alert the opposition to his batting prowess? One
would think if he was any good it would be common knowledge by now???
- Which Viking Committee men were overheard on the balcony late in the
evening after the last round match, discussing potato salad recipes?
- Which senior Vikings Committee man is dreaming of playing against
kids in the season decider and making them cry?
- A prominent member of the Vikings 2nd grade team awoke one Saturday
before his wife (currently 8 months pregnant) and made his own breakfast
and coffee etc. He watered the garden then packed his bag for cricket.
Other members of the side arrived and then sat around for up to an hour
chatting. Meanwhile his pregnant wife had got out of bed to make her
own breakfast and coffee. This Viking and his team mates piled into
the car for their journey to cricket. As he was backing out the driveway
to leave he wound down his window to say goodbye to his good wife which
he did and her response was “ I guess you forgot my birthday
“ . Well I certainly hope he tried to make things up to his wife after
the hammering he copped from the rest of Boxys Bandits. He was also
heard to telephone her from the car on the way down and suggested that
SHE ring a restaurant and make a booking.
Wonder how that went?
- Which opposition Captain is paying far too much attention to what
other teams are doing causing him to lose focus on what he is supposed
to be doing? They were beaten again last week (19/2/05)
- Which now ex Viking picked up his car from the panelbeater only to
run out of fuel on the way home? Whilst pushing his car around a corner
to, in his words,"get off the main road", this ex
Viking fell over and when he sat up, leaning on his hands, watched his
immaculate vehicle scream down a hill, slam full bore into a tree and
end up, back where it started, at the panelbeaters with a bill of over
$12,000? Hard to believe
but all TRUE!
- Which 5th grade player waxes his legs?
- Which other 5th grade player is deeply engrossed in All Saints?
- On a recent Sunday morning, two Vikings tough guys got together on
the phone to discuss the secrets of making pancakes. To hide their identities
lets just call them MOOSE
AND THE AXE. Naturally,
being a connoisseur of fine food,The Axe gave Moose a few tips and subsequently
went over with his son for a taste test, where we believe they discussed
the pros and cons of child rearing….if you play your cards right,
they might be talked into doing scones and tea for afternoon drinks
on Saturdays! They will both be known now as SNAC's. Sensitive New Age
Cricketers.
- Which Vikings Sick Boy had an attack of the runs recently and went
out for a day trip with friends donning one of his daughter's nappies?
- Which two Vikings players on a Mad Monday bender could not get into
the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel at 2am. Being inventive kind of fellas they
decided to swap shirts so the bouncers did not recognise them when they
went to re-enter. Being told by the bouncer, "you idiots just swapped
shirts, f**k off outta here" the players moved to Scruffy Murphy's
where they let anybody in although another Viking player at this establishment
was soon asked to leave after passing out in his schooner glass.
- Which Viking player will now be known as Bon after falling asleep
in his own regurgitation?
- Which Vikings rookie scored an intimate evening with "the
two hottest chicks at school" and then fell asleep on the
job after drinking his dad's homebrew? He woke the next morning with
one on either side of him and absolutely NO
memory of the entire night! Ouch!
