Title: Cockspur Club Twenty/20
Post by: benbellward on July 02, 2012, 10:27:47 AM
Hiya Guys,

We went through to the next round of the Cockspur 20/20 at the weekend for the East Anglia Premier League. Beating 2010 winners Swardeston in the final, very close game with them needing six off the last ball. That means we are two games away from the finals day on Sky.

I think we are playing the winners of the Middlesex Premier League in the next round. Just wondered if you guys knew of the knew of the teams left in it and what they are like.

Cheers

Blimey you are a long way behind. So who are the stand out teams that are left? What sort of players do they have?

Ealing or Teddington will probably win it. Although as I'm an Uxbridge boy I would like to think we have a chance ;)

Chris Peploe seems to be their big star - used to play for Middlesex, quality left arm spinner, can bat too.  They have strength in depth, do most things well basically - think they've losy about two games in the last 18 months.

Ealing had players last year all bowling over 85 mph

Played against an Asian lad a few years ago who opened the bowling for Ealing, think he was pushing 75-80 mph. Would've been brown pants time but the deck was so slow and low that I just about dealt with him. Being a friendly as well he might of been under orders to pitch it up  :)

A guy joined us this season from Teddington, real quality player.

Went to the finals day at Chelmsford last year as my previous employer were sponsoring the kit.

It's a good day but quite cold as it was late on in the year!

Tahir Afridi who opened the bowling for Ealing last year bowled around 75mph, apparently Ollie Wilkin is just touching 80mph so dont know where reds got that statement from.

You play for Bury St. Edmunds? Only a few people from East Anglia on here(3 I think now) so always nice to see another one.

I know a few of the Swardeston players(I play midweek games with Sam Thelwell) and they are a very good side so to beat them is a major achievement and certainly gives you a good chance of going very far in the competition. Good luck in the competition, would be nice to see a EAPL team win it again.

Hiya buddy,

Yeah I do play for Bury St Edmunds. It was a tough game against Swardeston! We always knew it was going to be.

Pumped Sudbury in the first game. We scored approx 224 for 5 I think, we bowled them out for approx 44! First 20/20 I've been involved in where we have won by 175 runs!

Who do you play for?

I'm nowhere near good enough to play in EAPL(even off two paces Sam Thelwell is too quick for me and he isn't exactly the quickest bowler around) however as I live about a mile away from Swardeston I sometimes pop down there and always hope they do well in the T20 competitions. Swardeston got knocked out last time by Ealing so just as everybody else has said, they're probably the only team you really need to worry about.

You got Sudbury all out for 44? They're 4th in the EAPL! Winning by over 100 is a good effort, winning by nearly 200 is brilliant, clearly you have some talent in the team.
