This is a bit of a shot in the dark. This week I am in the dire position where I have 7 people unavailable and 2 injured, meaning that I have, at this point in time, a team of two for tomorrow night's game. The others on the email list have gone away.
Obviously this doesn't work and having exhausted every other Avenue, I'm turning to the forum.
Are there six of you out there willing to turn up at Regent's Park at 6.30pm tomorrow evening for a game of LMS?

I'd be interested if there is a realistic chance of getting a game, as it means lugging my kit into work.
How soon would you be likely to know whether you can get a team together?
-
Well given that you're the only responded, I think it's safe to say don't bring your kit! Thanks though!

If I were working in London today I would have - I'm running a league for the first time in Northampton this year, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

THis is the first time it's been this bad. I have three people fixture clashed playing for other teams, seven people that aren't available for one reason or another, two people out injured and two of us available. I haven't heard from two.
Out of a squad that should easily be able to cover the player numbers, having a team and a half unavailable is incredible and very frustrating.
If anyone wants to play for us and wants to provide me with their email address, please PM me and let me know and I'll add you to our availability emails.

If you're ever in need again feel free to drop me a PM mate - I've got a work do tonight but its only a one off so would be keen another time!
-
I hope we're not playing you! What's your team called again?
-
Gutted I have only just seen this as I would have been around. Let me know if you are short again.

Charlie, if you have a pair of white trousers, or even Tracky bottoms, please feel free to turn up. Likewise you Shane.

5 hours to go and we have them. That's a proper pain. Still. Got retweeted by Surrey Cricket and AllOutCricket in the process!

Excellent work. The power of social media hey!?

Social Media, texting, etc. And also offers of additional players for future weeks that have come out of the retweets! Quite surprising really.

Now we just have to have our fingers crossed it's not rained off!

Forecast is that it won't be...

How did you get on yesterday with your scrambled side?
-
We needed 22 off the last over, and unfortunately failed to get it, mainly because one of the batsmen decided he'd swap positions with his mate, who it turned out, wasn't quite such a good bat, so they bowled outside off stump and he couldn't hit it.
We kept the opposition to a respectable and chaseable score. Unfortunately, our number four decided to play a test match innings and the result was the run rate piled up. It all looked a bit like England batting.
Went away with four rather than eight points, but given we started the day with two players, I'll take that.
How did you go?

We got a decent win by 60 odd runs. After my terrible performance last week I was dropped down to 7 in the order, we had a pretty decent batting line up to be fair though. Kept wicket well, a catch a stumping and a run out assist. Much nicer feeling having a win under the belt than our abysmal showing last week!

Ah, you're an Isotope. GG Part Deux are pretty rubbish, we chased them down inside the 16 overs last week. I'm guessing you were out Caught last night...
See you've got London Exeter next week. I think it will be a close game, but you will probably beat them. They are savvy on the bowling front though.
We have Royal Rampage next week, who have in the past, been tripe. Wonder if that's changed?
-
Yeah I managed to nick a wide one with the toe of my bat off the penultimate ball, was looking forward to facing the last ball for a home run too! Yeah they were very average. We have Royal Rampage the week after you, you'll have to take notes and pass them on!
