Unfortunately our usual touring side for the Thursday of cricket week have pulled out of their tour.
This means we have a slot available on Thursday 26th July to play Kilve CC in West Somerset
Lovely ground, by the sea & cracking teas.
The school holidays have started by then and we play 7 days straight against casual & touring teams like Lloyds Bank, SouWesters & Sponsors XI
Any ideas from the forum?
Do you know a side that would like a trip to the seaside? Do you think we could get a CBF XI out?
Thanks
-
No help with the team I'm afraid but I'd be up for a game if you need numbers. A CBF team would be awesome but I can imagine getting people together would be like herding cats! :)
I'm straight in for that, 9 to go? :D
-
Where are the other South Westers who doss around have flexible work patterns in the week days? :)
Must mean @Ayrtek Cricket Surely? :D
-
Happy to have a spot of lunch at 1pm and play 40 overs from 2pm if it means just having an afternoon off...
And let CBF bat first - obviously
-
I'm so up for being part of a CBF XI
-
yea me too potenially
-
I'll be on holiday that week in Taunton so although I'm not the most active member of the forum I'd offer myself up if you needed numbers for a CBF XI.
Oh and I'm 50 in July as well so I'll be open to offers of birthday drinks :-)
-
I don’t work Thursdays. I’m in
-
This is going better than expected.
Thanks.
Let the others have a look tonight & there’s myself, James & Dave that we may persuade too. Promising.
-
I may be able to get another day off and play again the following day mate if i can get that hotel.

I'm on it. Worst case I can find you some space at Taylor Towers
-
I don't plan my life more than a week ahead but I'm sure i will be keen for a game...
-
That’s not true Dave. You told me of all the xl club fixtures you were planning to play. Are you playing against castle on 2 July?
Get the team list posted tylo. We will have 11 batsmen and no bowling. Is there a sister ‘custombowling’ Website? Game on
-
This sounds very promising, 8 possible players already without including tylo/james. At least a couple of bowlers so far too, does anyone other than me and Dorset bowl seam?
-
Im a keeper weekin week out but can bowl some seam
-
I certainly do not @edge lol
-
I think we have 10.
Any other members fancy a game before I find a non CBF 11th man?
-
Who are the 10 Cris?
@mcgill123 is in the right neck of the woods?

I shall go to my contacts from previous clubs now to make up the numbers
We could do with a captain and a keeper - any volunteers?

I'll happily step up to skipper, could potentially keep but sure there are better candidates for that role
-

Awesome we have a skipper. Thanks mate.
I can also fill any gaps in our numbers - but CBF members welcome first.
-
Will double check this evening but very much up for this if I get permission from”the boss” lol
-
What time would the start be, 2pm? Could potentially be your 11th but would depend on work (will need to check when I'm back in the office later this week).
-
Within 48 hrs a CBF team is sorted for a mid week game. That’s a challenge for the rest of the forum in other districts. Looking forward to it and written it in the calendar before the missus does something silly like booking a holiday.
-
2pm start. No sooner. To allow for travel.
-
Would like to keep if theres enough bowling.
-
I’m in the boss has agreed
-
Skipper. Keeper. And an 11. Awesome job. Good luck sorting a batting order ;-)
-
Best thing to do is finding out who definitely doesn’t bowl and go from there
I definitely don’t bowl lol
@DorsetDan & @Neon Cricket so we traveling in convoy or together?
-
Lovely ok
My son is probably abit too young for a full days cricket
-
This sounds awesome!!
-
I can make myself available if needed, stick me on the reserve list Chris👍
-
So, so far this is our finalised 11, I gather we have a large amount of batting, can everyone comment their preferred discipline? Also thinking of getting a whatsapp group together for this team as it will be easier to communicate that way, so if everyone could PM me their numbers if that okay with them then that would be brilliant.

Sorry I’m a bit of a Luddite and I’m not on whatsApp. Just give me the start time and I’ll be there. Don’t care where I bat. I bowl friendly in-duckers.

Sent a pm mate

Ok, looking forward to it but it’s another batsman to the list I’m afraid
-
Never been called a bowler before. A net bowler possibly. But I like it. Hopefully that entitles me to a roll at third man.
-
Afternoon all, can everyone that hasn't already post or PM me their T shirt sizes as we are looking into some custom shirts for this game.
Cheers

Also, XL for the shirt - none of these pansy small sizes ;)

-
Not long to the match now. All players needed.

-
Looking forward to it! Not seen any WhatsApp action either though.
-
Guys
I'm really sorry but it now transpires I wont be down in Devon at the time I thought so I wont be available for the match.
I'm gutted I will miss out and I hope it doesn't mess you about with numbers too much.
-
Looking forward to it! Not seen any WhatsApp action either though.
Send me your numbers and ill create one, be lonely with just me and tylo
-
WhatsApp Group is alive. Kilve have named a decent team for the game already
Thanks @Tailendfielder for sorting - pls dm him contact details.

@mcgill123 is in as well don't forget?
-
Me the same. Being described as a bowler is overly flattering. I fear we may have to chase 350 then have a good go at it.
-
And before anyone gets their hopes up, my bowling form has not exactly been stellar this season... Never mind, if we can score as many runs as we have bats we should be fine :D
-
Hi guys, so this is next week properly excited, apologies on the WhatsApp front only a few people sent their numbers in so didn’t see a great deal of point to it. Thanks for setting it up T2ylo. As has been said we are very VERY batting heavy so I will endeavour to get everyone to bat or bowl as they prefer however it may be that some people that would rather bat will be pushed a bit lower down the order because they will probably be bowling the majority of our overs! Hopefully that is okay with everyone.
-
Sweet with me. Happy to chow down on plenty of tea and bat right down the order. Always been envious of the lazy bowlers.
-
Looking forward to this cant believe its next week
I wish I could help on the bowling front but i fear we would be chasing too many if I were to lol

can you all just finalise your availability for this game please, if you are all still available we have 11, if not, we will have to find someone else.
Unfortunately as only 4 or 5 gave me shirt sizes, that isn't going ahead as far as I'm aware.
-
I'm in and can't wait!
-
Count me in. Won’t be there until 1.30. Getting there any earlier means warming up.
-
I'd also be more than happy to get there early and have a wee hit if others are keen..?
-
Hi yep I’m in
And @edge I would be up for that if I can get there in time

No problem Ed, we can get the batting cage out on the square or use the permanent net by the pavilion.

I’m up for that too mate, sounds like a good plan.
-
Thanks for all the responses so far, we are up to 5 including myself
-
I’m still guys, looking for to it
-
So who else has re-gripped their match bat and cleaned their pads in readiness for the most important game of the season?

Kilve 220-9 sneak a win by 1 wicket in a thriller
Match report to follow but a lovely day
-
Who is in the green cap and the Kilve shirt? He looks about 12 - but jolly determined!!
-
Great day. Cheers tylo and the Kilve lads. Great to play with the CBF West Country team. Bowling and fielding practice needed in anticipation of the same fixture next year.
-
Just got in after dropping @Neon Cricket and @DorsetDan off thank you for hosting a great day really enjoyed it what a lovely place to play cricket! Cracking teas too - looking forward to the match report @t2ylo

Clocked in a 7.02 apparently, and with a big smile on his face too!

In a spooky co-incidence there is a planned CBF game on Friday 26th of July 2019 after the success for the first one.
CBF v Kilve II - same place, same date, different day - this time it's personal and they are bringing bowlers (unlikely but possible)
All welcome drop me a DM if you fancy it
40 Overs 1pm start - nice teas
-
I’m in.
It’s only us westies that can get a fixture together. Looking forward to it already.
