Nice way to cap off season 21-22 with Premier Cricket Award at the @cricketvictoria Media Awards! 🥇

Over, and stumps. Thanks for all your support! 🏏 ❤️

Newly contracted quick Matt Fotia dropped into @TheRunHomeSEN studios this afternoon to chat joining the Victorian squad 📻

A massive congratulations to our spiritual leader and host Matt Fotia who has been given a full-contract with Victoria next summer. Get around the man 🔥🔥 - Nick and Tyler

Now that is an outstanding signing from @CaseySthMelbCC in @vicpremcricket, landing the prodigiously talented Yash Pednekar from Richmond. The North Dandenong talent has scored almost 800 first XI runs across the past two seasons. Classy cricketer.

The Dees have done it! Melbourne ran out Premier for the 22/23 season, winning an epic tussle with Carlton. The boys discuss all the key moments, debate the John Scholes Medal, give their Ryder predictions and spill the off-season gossip! Listen wherever you get your pods.

Poles 🎳

Top five sticks from 22/23

Jack Harper is a class cricketer built for the big stage. Hasn’t quite been at his prolific best this season but a half-century full of heart in the @vicpremcricket grand final gives Melbourne first-innings points against Carlton late on day two.

Blake Thomson leads his @MelbCC off after a sensational middle session. The Dees took six wickets to have the Blues 8-141 at tea.

Big wicket for Melbourne with Jack Prestwidge claiming Nick Ross for 68. The Dees have the Blues 5-118 in the 46th.

And Harrison Smyth has quietly ticked past 800 runs for Carlton this @vicpremcricket season. He joins a gallery of great players to have reached that mark.

50 up for @CarltonCCScores’s Nick Ross. It comes after 122 not out last week in the preliminary final. The Blues are steadying at 2-83.

Melbourne on top early. The Dees have Carlton 2-9 inside the first hour, with opening bowlers Kieran Elliott and Fergus O’Neill respectively grabbing the wickets of Macca Harvey and Tom Smyth. Nick Ross and Harry Smyth now at the crease.

.@EssendonCC looking a picture ahead of the @vicpremcricket GF. @CarltonCCScores will bat first.

🔵 v 😈

It all starts tomorrow at Windy Hill, so the lads have put their tips out there for public consumption! Listen to our GF Preview via Apple and Spotify now and let us know who will the 2022/23 Premiership below 🤔

2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ club wickets for Fot😤 as he moves into 7th on the All Time First XI list at Ramland!

Unassuming, but unrivalled. @CarltonCCScores first drop Harry Smyth is the Pace and Pens Men's Player of the Year, thanks to his unbelievably consistent season for the grand final bound blues!

Another tie, this time for second spot, with @FrankPenCC skipper James Nanopoulos and @prahrancc stick Damon Egan grabbing the silver!
