Yeah I think Wycombe is a lot out of my league. Their ground is sweet though.

Please do send me a list.

Okay, I'll rustle up a few clubs that I play/have played against and PM them across to you ... tomorrow morning if that's okay, as the Macallans is slipping down rather nicely!

Yeah .. Wycombe has a beaut ground - they're my favourite oppos - I've always done well there with both bat and ball.

And the wicket was No 11 caught on the boundary . . . .

That would mean he won the game for his side

No, 1st innings silly . . . .

Not in England.

You only play 1 inning games?

Yep. Australia's pretty unusual in its club cricket. The idea of playing a game across two weekends is just not feasible, you'd never get exactly the same side out.

Fair enough . . .

I would have thought that the weekend release programmes were pretty constant

oh hang on, we're the convicts

Nah ... no thanks.
I'm far too modest about my efforts ... unlike some on here !
But Clammers has dug out one of my better performances .... Laughing

In a game I umpired the other week one of the players brought down his stunning gf to watch him play . She sat herself down at cow corner and read a book .

He bowled 4 overs of leg spin which went for 48 runs ...mostly 6's at cow corner ...and made his gf take cover

then when he batted he was run out without facing a ball ...and as he walked of the field his gf was packing up and leaving

Probably not his best day of cricket

Let's just hope his performances elsewhere made up for it ... poor sod!
