Back in the early 80s Melbourne recruited a player from Parkdale by the name of Glenn Boland who played 16 games from 1982 to 1984. He was dropped from the list at the end of 1984 and transferred to St Kilda for three games in 1985. 

Does anyone know whether he’s related to Australia’s new pace bowler Scott Boland who took his maiden test wicket on debut today? Boland the cricketer also comes from Parkdale.

 

You would have to think it's a high probability.

If you google who are Scott Boland's parents it says he wants to keep the privacy of his parents but has a brother Nick. So I doubt we will ever know and anybody who does wouldn't post it here (you'd hope not anyway if that's his wishes)

I think it is. I heard the commentary mention one of the players was raised in Parkdale - It caught my attention because I went to Parkdale Secondary College. I’m pretty sure they were talking about Boland at the time as he was bowling. 

 

Boy can he bowl.!!!

Yes, he sure can bowl. 5 for 5!

And he’s a VICTORIAN! 
edit: make that 6 for 5!

The bugger went and took anothery while I was typing the above 😁


His real name is Scott Bowledengland but it’s a mouth full to say.

Haven't watched a minute of cricket in years but have just gone online to find this guy has taken 6-7 and James Brayshaw is commentating. Wondering if it provided him with another opportunity to go bang...bang bang bang. 

 

A wonderful performance by Boland

I think we may see a bit of discussion regarding ball technology shortly. The Kookaburra is a new design this year that is supposed to keep the ball harder longer. Interesting that reverse swing has been non exisitent and there has been very few sessions where batsmen of either side dominated. Don't think there has been more than one 300 run day if any.

Winning away from home requires a great team and this England team is not clearly not one of them.

Well done Scott Boland !!


Finally MCC produced a live wicket, I haven’t seen such great bowling for a long time, bowlers on both teams dominated the bat but the Australians were awesome and if Boland never plays again he has gone down in the Record Books. Well done Scottie Boland.🔥👍💕

Yep a great effort. But this England team would find a way to be dismissed by an armless person.

Well, as much as we want to respect his privacy (and we will), I reckon there might be a few dozen blokes ready to claim they’re related after today’s effort. Wow!

Being the purist I am, I say…

BRING BACK THE 5-DAY TESTS!

Bolands  overs this morning were a bit like the end of the third. All happened in a rush!, 


It is said locally here in Warrnambool that he is from Colac,  I have no idea i used to live in Elsternwick.

Am from the area myself... W'bool, that is. How's the weather?

On the news tonight they said his Dad's name was Mick.  So that's a big no!


Sure, Boland took 6 for 5. But then he got carted. Gave up 2 more runs while not taking any more wickets. However, he's a Vic, so I hope he keeps his place and can pull his weight in the next Test.

Glenn is Scott's uncle. Grandfather played for sash trash Richmond.

Yep, he went at a run rate of 200 that delivery.

Not good enough.

Bloke by the name of Hawke went to England as a fill in swing and ended up ripping them apart .could be a big omen in my book.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
