Aye, just seen the figures. Not bowling yesterday was good for me.

Ha, great win for the lads! Only their 2nd loss of the season (t'other being to your lot) I was busy doing stock car racing in Brum with Sweep.

 

 

OH MY FUCKING GOD

 

stock car racing

 

the bloke who calls athletics dull

Doing, not watching, you flid.

Drive faster.

Be interested to see the outcome of tonight's meeting regarding next season's format.

 

If it's not 10 and 10 then it's a joke.

10 and 10 for me.

Hamer Cup in same format.

Introduce Cross Cup to make up the numbers of games. Play 4 groups of 5, playing each other once. Top 2 go through to the last 8. There's your minimum of 4 games with a maximum of 7.

Sounds good to me.

 

Go for 12 and 8 and I'm thinking a few of the 8 will be thinking of joining GM league.. and you couldn't blame them.

Deadline hs passed for 2017, they will have stopped sulking by then

Fucking lost to L/H yesterday. Bowled out for 73 and they knocked it off with 3 wickets in hand.

 

I was hauled off after 5 overs after going for an expensive 6 runs. Skipper out!

Stupidest proposal ever . Playing same team 3 times is fucking lunacy . 10 and 10 or I'm convinced teams will leave and not just the teams in the 8 either

It'll be 10 and 10.

Prefer to use the cross cup to fill fixtures up.

Bradshaw recently played a seconds game at L/H. With a newly selected 12 year old Lancs junior in the Bradshaw line-up, he went in and knocked their main bowler for a four. Next ball was sent rattling at his head. Well done L/H!

Agree with HNorwich on that one. If an adult knocked you for four and you'd bowl hem a bouncer the next ball then the bowler should do whatever they do, they didn't select the 12 year old. If Bradshaw think he's good enough then that's their decision and sounds like the kid can clearly play so you can't expect the bowler just to keep bowling in the slot to him.

 

Only time I'd say it's wrong is if a kid comes in number 11 to make up numbers and can't get near the ball then the skipper should make sure team just tries to dismiss him sensibly and not damage the confidence

Bradshaw wouldnt stick someone in if they thought he wasnt good enough to play at that standard

Maybe it's just me that think L/H were cunts then.

That's why they wear helmets isn't it? As ex-mid says above, if it's a rabbit going in at number 11 it's a different story. If it's a confident batter, playing senior cricket lets not forget, then he's fair game.

If there were any worries of him getting injured, they wouldnt of played him.

 

BCC must of thought he was good enough to pick him

 

He was nearly the top scorer

If the bowler needs to change his normal game then the young batsman shouldn't be playing.

If he's fired a deliberate beamer down he's a cunt.

Indeed, to bowl a deliberate beamed at ANYONE would be a cuntish thing to do. Methinks this was just a bouncer though, can Micky confirm?

I edged An Aussie called Ronnie Davies for four at LH when I made my Daisy firsts debut about 14 year old, as he passed me he said "next ones coming at your fucking head mate" it did. Cleaned bowled me ball after the bouncer

 

Being LH he's lucky it wasn't a Beamer

Nowt wrong with that. Remember him well. He said something very similar to me as a kid. Mine was a nice cover drive for 4 though........

Think Seasoned Traveller was batting with me that day. Gary Yates sub pro'd for LL.

another win for the shire against daisy hill today by 7 wickets

 

played for bradshaw tavs last week batted like a twat. think more clubs should have a taverners team its a good laugh and earner for the club when theres no game on
