Not sure if anyone will be interested, but i've got brett lee's bowling shoe from the t20 here the other week. (A left shoe). Also have Mitchell Johnson's whites, in good condition just haven't been washed. I'll bring em along either way.

Port Power - Port Adelaide.... same thing I get the name wrong, they get the shape of the ball wrong... so we're even
Whites are being napisanned as we speak. Hope they dry otherwise i'll be the guy with the brighter than bright whites that just dont smell quite right.
Phantom i know youve pushed through the hangover barrier before, you can do it.

Just an update: Whites are finished being nappisanned
Just a tip: Make sure when you wash your whites at the last minute with a plan to chuck em in the dryer that the tag on the back doesnt say : "DO NOT TUMBLE DRY"
Edit: Ill be the guy that smells like a wet laundry
What a great day. I would love to thank Duckman and Oxy Theif for all their efforts. It was a great had by all and some good cricket played aswell. It was a great cause and a great turn out.
Great Work Duck Man. Would have been a long day for the fella but there should be a great result at the end of it. Oxygen Thief, JS Sports and all the other helpers did a great job.
Couldn't have scripted a better match in the main game with 4 runs required off the last ball for victory. Well done to all those that participated.
Good call Cougs. The scene was set. Captain Courageous at the crease, his side needing him like they've never needed him before (no comments please... ), pink ball, turf pitch, FOUR to win off the last 'aggot, and......................

Seriously, thanks to all the players who donated their time & efforts for such a great cause today, and of course to duck-mann, Cuz and everyone else who either helped out, attended and donated something towards making the day such a successful one. I'll leave the $$$'s announcements to duck-mann, but the money raised today was in excess of $6000 - and will be closer to $10K once you factor in all donations made via the Premier's Appeal directly, such as Peer Industries etc. I'd also like to mention that the C&CCA Exec decided to donate $500 for the cause, so thanks to the Exec for making such a generous contribution. Fitzroy Cricket Club also donated $100 in cash from a social night they had last night. Great work guys! I'm sure there are many other contributions that I'm unaware of that warrant mention. I'm sure duck-mann will fill in the blanks..
And the main game certainly lived up to it's billing on the day. Congrats to PDCA for their hard-fought win against our lads. Well batted Oz & Pete Carman for PDCA and Pistol Pete Atkins, Smithy and the gallant Smasha in our innings. Man of The Match for mine was Oz, and the difference between the 2 sides in the end. Showed your class mate, good stuff.
And I'll leave you all with this disturbing image...

Well lads, the day has been and gone and what a day. Left home at about 8:20am this morning and got home at 9:15pm..... A MASSIVE thank you to JS Sports and Dennis personally. The shirts/hats and purchase of a couple of auction items helped the cause immensely! Dennis also umpired the main game, thanks mate!
Marc Cossens, the silent partner. The man who orgainsed the BBQ, the ground, the donuts, the ice creams and some of the drinks. He also did a lot of leg work organising the set up of bouncy castle and other things for the day. Taking phone calls and receiving text msgs from everywhere to help me out. THANKS CHAMP! Wouldnt have had things ready for today with out your help!
Daniel Lock, who I work with, volunteered about 5 hours on the BBQ today so a big thanks to him too. Also to the other blokes who had a few stints on there (including the man that was everywhere, Dennis), thank you very much gentlemen.
My wife, Tammy, who spent all day wo-manning the drink and shirt sales. A long day on her feet after having to put up with me coming to bed at 2am for the last 10 days. Im a lucky man having a woman to help with sporting events - even when it is for charity.
The Hart family - Rob, who was DJ/Announcer for the day. Did a great job promoting the sponsors, updating scores/results and obviously kept the music coming. His daughter Cassie - who was our volunteer face painter. I think she had littles girls lining up wanting to be butterflies from 10:30 till about 2 and helped raise about $60 from donations even though face painting was free... so thank you to Cassie for her time, and to all those Mums and Dads that popped a coin in the bucket.
Bryan from "little aussie bouncers" for donating his time and organising the bouncy castle for free. Im sure the kids had an amazing time jumping around today, mums and dads will be thanking you as their little ones sleep well tonight!
All the players! It was amazing to see the strength of the teams we fielded! The PDCA O33s team really was a LEGENDS of PDCA teams. On paper those names still strike fear into any opposition player and make spectators stand and admire. (I dont know any of the C&CCA players so sorry lads cant comment there) Both 'open' sides.... I heard so many people say today "if this was the we had for SAMCA we would smash teams" - so all I can say is thank you to all the talented cricketers for making themselves available on the only free day we all get!!!
Last but not least, anyone who donated from as little as $1 up to the generous $500 from the C&CCA exec. THANK YOU. this day wouldve been a great day of cricket anyway, but it would not have served its cause without everyones generosity!!!
Sooo.... the question everyone is asking.... How much did we raise? Including the money donated directly in to the fund from Peer IND we managed to make just over an AMAZING $8,500...

this idea has been thrown around by a dozen people and I will be in contact with reps from both assoc SOON (when I recover from today!) about doing an annual event. we could choose a different Foundation/Charity every year to donate to. watch this space.....
can we have this day next week!?!
