Yes friends - it's Mate against Mate - State against State!! The genteel, low alcohol version of State of Origin has come to Surrey.
On Saturday, Felix and Fattus go head to head like a pair of cricketing titans in the giddy heights of Surrey Championship 3XI Division 2 (West). Playing on Felix's home ground, the Eleven men of Chertsey will attempt to spank the asses of the Eleven men of Kempton.
This much-awaited clash will pitch the doughty, gritty, stickability of Felix as an opening batsmen against the fiendish, swinging wobblers of Fattus as a first change strike-bowling all-rounder (with the emphasis on the round part).
Fattus has bragging rights already with 5 wickets in the home fixture, whilst Felix hid in his clubs 2XI to avoid the tectonic clash. But this time all bets are off! Who will emerge victorious - Felix and his massive weapon, or Fattus and his unbelievable balls?
Who has played each other already this season - and who was the victor?

I'm not playing mate! Out injured currently, although did make up the numbers tonight for them. Got a memorial golf day to attend Saturday. See you at your place!

Can't believe you wasted a thread on just 2 forum members when me, redders, Chris played Kenny a few weeks ago. Come back when you have 5 forum members in a match Mr FC ;-)

I think you missed out on the word 'Titans' Nick - that means we count as double!

Not even close, we dwarf you physically and in post counts. Unless you can beat our willow collection your little game barely counts. Now soulman and tommo play together it's becoming a regular thing on the forum.

We should probably just have a game with forum players making up both of the teams. That would be a pretty good event to have for charity or something.

My money is on Bruce and his swingers!
I've heard their tail starts at 3 Bruce ;)

Got some sympathy with Nick here, I'm flattered by the attention but this has to go down in history as one of the more inappropriate uses of "titan" (and, er, "massive weapon") at least for one of the participants. Anyhow, bring it on, dying to see if I can put one over a genuine forum legend!

3 on 1? Hardly fair! Who was the victor?

Numbers mattered in this encounter

Well that was an anticlimax... The head-to-head contest never materialised and hopefully yesterday was the nadir of my season. Mostly spectated at slip as some impressive Chertsey batting aided by a dire fielding display saw us chasing a colossal 320. I went out full of positive intent, eyes lit up at the 1st ball of the innings and nicked the juicy wide long hop to the keeper :(. Think @FattusCattus will have gone home slightly the happier as he nipped in with a couple of wickets and an earth-shaking catch as we fell the small matter of 200 short.

Did @FattusCattus get a bat? #propabatta

Nope, lord knows what they might have ended up with otherwise :)

Ahhhh Felix - I tactfully refrained from commenting until now!!
Yes, it was a good batting display by us, and yes I was itching to get out there and give it a whack. I did chip in with 3 cheeky wickets (it could have been more, bit for some very steadfast umpiring :)) Felix managed to remove himself before I got a shot at him!!!
The earth-shattering catch was very satisfying as he was a damn good bat and we needed to get rid of him - however, it has resulted in a suspected broken bone in my right hand. I'm struggling to hold a bat, but thankfully I can still propel my filthy left-arm dobbers up the other end!!
Nice bunch of guys at Felix's club, but I wouldn't want to bowl on that ground every week!!

Yep, I still have nightmares about getting cut and leg-glanced for six there. Not much fun.
