Our Sunny's on the money at Ormond Park   

Moonee Valley's Sukhdeep "Sunny" Singh was really on the money when he took to the field with the Thirds in the Round 15 clash at Ormond Park.
Knowing he had to bowl well to help the team defend its total of 121 against Youlden Parkville, Sunny came on first change.
The Valleys had already done some damage via Jesse Felle when Clyde D'Cruz took a wicket with the last ball of an over to  have them 4/26.
What happened next defies belief. Sunny took wickets with his first three balls in the next over, as Youlden Parkville lost four wickets in four balls.
They couldn't keep up with the dismissals, and their next batsman had a lengthy delay before he could kit up and come out.
Sunny followed up his hat-trick with another three wickets to give him the great figures of 6/4 as YP went all-out for 32.
Valleys declared at 4/81 to have another crack at them, and Sunny took a further four wickets in the second dig to give himself match figures of 10 for 11.
Jesse Felle picked up a further three wickets and Alex Steinmeyer two as we rolled Youlden Parkville in the January 29 match for 79 to record an outright win - a rare feat in a one-day game, but allowable in Mercantile.
As anyone who faces him in the nets will tell you, Sunny is a slippery character and hard to pick or get away.
He has an awkward round-arm action and a flick of the wrist so that the ball's on to you before you're ready for it.
Sunny joined Moonee Valley a month after the season started and has already picked up 17 wickets at the great average of 5.53.
