I know a lot of people have thrown in some great ideas on here for Sunday, but how does this idea sound Duck-Mann and panel. After the main game you could have a contest similar to what is used in Mildura for Willowfest. Creates a bit of interest and it's good to see the big hitters do battle. I've cut and pasted it from their site, but it would be good to see the likes of smasha and co have a crack at this. Just a suggestion........

The Willowfest Whack

Each Year Willowfest goes in search of the biggest wacker in the country (as seen on Channel 9’s Cricket Show). Each wacker can enter at a cost of $10 per entry.

To enter a batter, a tosser (or the batter may elect to toss for him/herself) and a catcher are required. Each "Wacker" is given 3 attempts in the preliminary round with the longest 3 "Wackers" going through to the finals. A bonus 10 metres is given to the "Wack" if the catcher catches it. In the finals each finalist is given 5 attempts with the longest "wack" being judged the winner taking home the prize money.

seems like a pretty good idea mate! Ill look into $10 entry, winner gets a carton... Ive had a couple of individuals offer a carton or 2 as prizes for the day so Ill contact them and see what I can organise

So we have:

Broca011 and MadMax to umpire the 'Masters'

Andrew Price and OKC to umpire the Imparja vs U23s

Andrew Price and ??? to umpire the 'feature' (If Mr Price is happy to umpire both) Aceman (who is on leave from safooty) is Happy to umpire this one with his extremely vast knowledge of cricket umpiring
I hadnt organised scorers yet, but surely we only need 1 for each game so who ever it is you have lined up G.H tell them theyve got the job for the O33s and first XI games. Then we only need 1 more for the U23s.

Can someone scan and email me a copy of an un-used page frrom a score book so I can print some out for Sunday

See bold above. Definitely sure the old umpires shirt will NOT fit around the girth nowadays, but will find something to wear.

[OKC!]

Done... I'll umpire the 23's then....

I will have my book with me.

[Magpies96]

Just to show how bad it is, check this out guys.

That is the oldest trick in the book, giving it to her and then giving someone elses name and number
