Welcome

Interesting Fact: Australia is home to the longestfence in the world. The Dingo Fence, also known as the Wild Dog Barrier Fencestretches approximately 5,614 kilometers (3,488 miles) to protect southeasternAustralia's sheep farms from dingoes. The fence is about 2 meters high andextends 30 cm into the ground to prevent dingoes from digging under it and itis visible from outer space.

The Melbourne Monsoon put paid to any possibility of anyplay in day 1 of Packenham's two day game against Upper Beaconsfield, whichwill resume as a one day game next Saturday. It also put paid to the second dayof Churchill's game which was so delicately poised.

However, 600 miles further north, Sam Winstanley was inaction for Northern Suburbs against Medowie, scoring 30 out of a total of 184all out, before the visitors innings ground to a halt at 68-9 with Sam'sbowling expertise not required. Sam entered the fray batting at 6 with threecheap wickets having already fallen. A fourth fell with less than 30 on theboard and but for Sam's contribution and a spirited 63 from their number 9batsmen, it could have been a less challenging total. The resounding result helpeddispel the defeat against the bottom side and lifted the 'Burbs to 4th in thetable (or ladder as they call it down under). Sam resumes next week againstKurri & Weston CC, a 20 mile trip due South.
