Greetings, we are the Murrumbidgee Mankadders, members of the Gundagai and District Cricket Association and playing in the Tumut and District Cricket Association’s Elder’s Cup. Read all about our story here, thanks to @LMcKirdy7. https://t.co/f19hQinE0V
A huge thank you to Josh and Dan for the part they played in establishing this club, and best of luck to the new committee members.
Now we look forward to a successful* 2023/24 season.
*winning at least one game
Following our 2023 AGM, some changes have been made to the club's committee. Congratulations goes to club founder and spiritual leader, Michael Hargreaves, who has been elected to his rightful place as president, a role vacated by Josh Pinn.
Haydn Emerson has been elected to fill Michael's former role as vice-president. Club stalwart, James Bunter, will take on the role of secretary, following the resignation of Daniel Kisela. Patrick Flynn will remain as club treasurer.
This was a fun surprise last night!
Loved telling the story of the @MankaddersCC, the perfect example of a team trying to spread the good word of cricket in the most down to earth way.
What the helling hell? @LMcKirdy7's only gone and won himself an award for the article he wrote about us.
We may have endured a winless first season, but we have contributed to some silverware.
Congratulations to CODE Sports writer @LMcKirdy7 on receiving the award for best community story at the @CricketNSW awards!
Lachlan was recognised for this article on the Murrumbidgee Mankadders. A team born at a pub. 🍺👇 https://t.co/HWkNiReeq8
It should be said that this was during warm-up, not during play. Also, Thumper (pictured) got a stumping after being hit for a six that hit the changeroom roof the previous ball. What have you done lately?

If you'd also like to be seen around town with this bit of mankadders merchandise, you can do one of two things: a) make it known that you have run out the non-striker and we'll send you one for free, or b) get in touch with us via dm and we'll send you one for $20.
You may remember Kyle from such incidents as running out the non-striker against Kew in a subbies game a few months back. As a brother in mankadding he receives the reward of one of our baggy pink caps. Looks fantastic on you, mate!
This was the field setting as Shami ran in. 83 runs needed to win off 3 balls & the entire field has come in to deny a single. So how come trying to deny Shanaka a single and deny the 100 is kosher in that moment, but is no longer kosher moments later when Shami breaks the bails?
So disappointed by Rohit withdrawing appeal after Shami pulled off a RONS with Shanaka on 98 in final over. The irony is even greater because as Shami ran in, Sangakkara on comms said, "All the fielders have come in. The Indian captain unwilling to gift a 100 to the opposition."
The Mankad family has their say: "We like the term ... may it live on.'' Far from being offended, Mankad's grandson is proud his father will never be forgotten. https://t.co/r5MEqktPYb
Australian captain Pat Cummins has warned South Africa that the Aussies are prepared to effect the first Mankad dismissal in Test cricket in more than 44 years after Proteas batter Theunis de Bruyn was repeatedly warned about backing up too far.
