Post by: roco on September 21, 2011, 08:52:24 PM: Any do anything fun like dress up or reverse batting order?

Post by: Manormanic on September 22, 2011, 07:18:47 AM: One more week to go - we usually spend the last three weeks trying to make sure that everyone in the club has opened the batting in at least one game, which leaves us with some odd orders. Oh, and my filthy left arm trundlers come out for a few overs!

Post by: ianbuchanan on September 22, 2011, 02:39:21 PM: Haha, I remember it as we had a laugh when we went past, thinking how ideal it would be having a pub next door to your ground!
Title: Re: End of season
Post by: Colesy on September 22, 2011, 02:43:23 PM: We have a pub about 200ft from our club which is quite convenient :)

Post by: MD2812 on September 22, 2011, 02:45:47 PM: We play the helmet game:

2 openers are decided (normally stayed out latest if on tour)
then get a cricket helmet, pass it on each delivery, when a wicket falls whoever has the helmet goes into bat. means the whole team is padded up, including both of the players having to umpire!

Went on tour to Newcastle this year and found a 70s disco which sold afros, a tail ender batted in one and got his first half ton, now wheres it every game to bat, including a semi final has had better knocks than usual but no more half tons
