Awards Evening

We finally got around to having the end of season bash, yes I know January is quite late but its all about building the anticipation don’t you know… This year we decided to congregate at the club house for the annual curry night and get a take away, fabulous idea. The curry was good, the drinks were flowing and the silly games were a plenty. Onto the awards: Sunday Team Best Batsman – Duncan “Longdog” Wooloff Best Bowler – Colin “Pod” Mercer Most Man of the Matches – Barry “Circus” Martin Most Pigs…continue reading →

Heading Back To India

Good news for Sky TV, bad news for the players, we are going back to India to play the planned 2 tests. Security will be no problem, the amount of protection which will be required to get the team close to the country will be more than sufficient to stop any threat. The reason it’s bad idea for us to go back? Because the Indians are a world ahead of us at the moment, if they can confortably beat the Aussies we stand little, to no hope.continue reading →

The England team are to fly home before the test series in India due to the resent violent attacks. The one day series is basically over anyway, 5 – 0 down in a 7 match series, does this still count as a proper whitewash?continue reading →

Ways To Follow England On Tour

The problem with being on tour in India is that the every day Cricket fan finds it hard to follow. We are 4 games into a 7 ODI series, so far England have lost all 4, including the most recent game today. So, well done lads, as KP keeps saying “we are improving” and from what I’ve seen they are, just not very quickly. Thought it would be cool to run over a couple of ways to keep up with the play whilst at work / away from Sky Sports. My personal choice…continue reading →

Uffington – Home – Draw

A slightly drizzly start to the match with Uffington soon cleared up into a lovely sunny day with a perfect dry wicket. I won the toss and opted to field first figuring that we’d done well recently on run chases and hoping that the drizzle didn’t turn into anything more sinister. We decided to play a timed game. Both teams had too many players, so, in the interest of giving as many people a game as possible, we played with twelve players each. Somehow though, Uffington ended up with eleven so we ended…continue reading →
