Hmmm...Maybe

Please grow up Ashvir, 100% sponsorship is for the pros not for 14 year old wannabes!

Ash as explained it would be beneficial to the company sponsoring you if they gained something in return....such as publicity in a paper etc. This isn't likely to happen unless you are prominent in the county set up for your age group etc

District ATM. Full County watching me

Gents, this topic is not an hour old and people are arguing. I'm just showing a little article about a player we have signed up. I thought i might be of interest to you !!
-
Calm down mate, I hardly think I am an idiot for having a joke with you, blimey!!! I stuck up for you when you bought those BAS gloves and now you are calling me an idiot, and in capitals at that which makes me even more UPSET.
-
sorry Bulldog, great story, I hope he goes well for you.
-
Back on topic.....Bulldog great to see the local boys using the gear! Another fine company to come out of the South West/Somerset area.....see its not just Cider we do well!
P.S. what paper was it in mate?
-
Thanks guys
The local Sunday Independent Ayrtek. Perhaps we could kit James out with a Somerset Bulldog/Ayrtek Helmet ?
-
Thats a great shout Bulldog!
-
This thread has everything in it, Sponsorship, Kashmir Willow, stalking [sorry being watch], capital letter ABUSE and finally Cider
<sighs> <ahhhhhh>
-

Sorry mate...yeh sounds good let me know if you want one sorted out can drop it over as in the Bristol/Chew Valley area...happy to keep the local talent safe!

What brand?
-
do you play county?

do you play county?
I asked you what brand
-
no need to be up yourself, as its clear you really don't have anything to shout about
-
Thats a special case Apple, you know the owners son and he gives you along with middlesex players full sponsorship (correct me if im wrong!)
-
back on topic....
i think its great to see that a player in the same league as our club has been called up for a county team. however i still see it as a shock selection, hayman was only the 16th highest wicket taker in our league. and our 1st team opening batsman who scored 800 odd runs in the same league, was also the 4th highest wicket taker, played minor counties for devon for 5 years and is also a coach at somerset ccc hasnt had a look-in.......
also noticed richard walsh put your article in the independant, he seems to write in every newspaper around here! he's a nice guy, i sent him a match report last year and he put it in about 3 papers!
-
Goes to show there is hope yet for us hopefuls who fancy a pop at county cricket! although at 27 i think my train has sailed :( you whipper snappers get a good season under your belot in 2010 and who knows.
-
Good news Bulldog, could be the first steps to even more pros and more publicity! I still mean to keep sending my bats back for a full refurb...I'll get round to in the next dew days. Also looking forward to the new stickers.
Keep up the good work And hopefully people will stop moaning about off topic stuff!!

Ian, i guess Somerset have seen something in James. Somerset don't need batsman so your opening bat scoring 800 runs in what is the 3rd division of the pyramid system is never likely to get a look in. What somerset need is someone to replace Caddick. James has the height and build of a fast bowler. Obviously he is raw and will need to work very very hard to make it, but what a fantastic opportunity. The circumstances for James are perfect and i know he is going to give it a 100%. He has already made great strides in the last couple of months just training with better players and being coached by better coaches.
Ken - yes send your bats back and we will refurb and put our new labels on for you. Yes you never know on the sponsorship front. we have a few academy players (William Jenkins, Nick Carpenter) and a couple of minor county players (Neil Curnow and Jason Mcnally) signed up but the first team players comeat a price.

Does he offer general sponsorship?

Fair point Bulldog, plenty of openers at somerset now, tresco, suppiah, compton, kieswetter the list could go on....
and i think nick carpenter is someone to look out for, played against him last year when he was only 13 and he was quality!! the same guy i was talking about in the previous post coaches him at taunton thinks he'll go far.... i did get him out though with my part-time offspin!
-
golden arm ian eh? i hate facing part time bowlers..

must have been, first ball i bowled to him. i guess he just didnt pick it up.... middle stump!
-
top work! there is some 16 year old who plays in our 1st teams league , he played for essex 2nd eleven and scored 189* and put on 400 with varun chopra ! i got him out last year with a rank full toss that he hit straight back to me lol ! coaches reckon he will go all the way so i think ill remember that dismissal !
-
fair play, lets hope he does. something to tell your grandkids! a guy who i play friendlies with, well he plays about 5 times a year got michael vaughan out when they were both 16, and my mate is no cricketer! and another mate of mine bowled out james hildreth with his part-time crap when he played against millfield school. also, a good mate of mine bowled tim handcock last season (former glouscestershire batsman for about 10 years).
few good nuts in there!
-
im playing in the premier division this year ( NOT BECAUSE IM GOOD ENOUGH BUT OUR SUNDAY 1ST TEAM IS ALL ABOUT THE TEENAGERS REALLY ) and graham napier plays for a side..and tino best has played in it before...its fair to say IM SCARED!
-
yeah its good to see mate, enjoy playing against pros while you can. in the past couple of years our club has played against andrew caddick, carl gazzard, matt bulbeck, callum haggett, and recently contracted james hayman :D
-
caddick ? :O did you personally play him?
-
i played against alastair cook in 2006, early september time. had him caught behind for 36. Caught behind prodding just outside off stump, Mcgrath esque...... Needless to say i remind people about it at every possible opportunity and im surprised it's taken me so long to bring it up on here.
p.s apologies for bringing it up in probably the wrong topic, but is been a good 45 minutes since i told somebody.
-
Obviously craving a bit of attention here - by what not, he's not too shabby that Cook bloke!
Good work!
-
Vantage, did you run round the pitch shouting every word you can think of. Then every team mate thinking "what the hell"? Jeez I would have literally gone mental.
-
caddick ? :O did you personally play him?
i didnt unfortunately, he played against our 1sts while recovering to get back into somerset.... he got taken off after 4 overs for going at 6 an over! untill be bowled his next 9 overs for 20 odd runs! only got one wicket though
-
plays for clevedon doesnt he??
-
he did indeed
-
Yeah they actually bum him up there, when i played there its all any of them talk about and its plastered literally everywhere in their club house.
-
haha i noticed that! to be honest our opening batsman were pretty chuffed whacking him around for a few overs....
and vantage thats a top scalp mate!!
