Hmm, South London is poorly represented here.

I am South London / Surrey - along with, I believe Buzz and Roco Pixie-face.

Local club to me is Leverstock Green - literally across the road from my flat, but I play for Old Haberdashers still because I have good mates there.

Definatly interested in some nets outside of my club!  Live in Potters Bar, but most of my cricket is played in and around London.

Apple plays at North London, next to me at Highgate, next to your mate at North Midd I think...

Yea, he got me golden duck!!!! Everyone was deceived my his fast run up, fast arm action and then slow release!! Fixtures out today
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: Howzat on January 10, 2011, 02:13:10 PM
Fixtures for what league thedon? Middlesex County League fixtures have been out for a while, looks like I'll be playing against Apples, North London 3rd XI...
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 10, 2011, 02:13:17 PM
Ohh ouch. That's hard to take. I love someone who charges in and bowls slowly. He played in a match against me for NLCC against Shepherds Cot XI (For whom I played) and got carted around by our opener I think: he got 105 off 40 balls!! I dunno though Frankie, was that you or Charlie Freeman or both who kept getting hit for 6 :p

I think Apple is moving up to 1s next year Leo..not sure though. He plays for Middx so must be good...

Maybe I play with two of his Middlesex team mates in our 3rd XI so have heard a fair bit about Frankie
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 10, 2011, 02:53:11 PM
Yeah, maybe that says something about the strength in depth in the 2 clubs, if Middx players are in your 3s and their 1s, but then I don't know how good yours are..all I know is that Highgate have no Middlesex players lol! :|

Yeah strange, both clubs first teams are in division 3 of the Middlesex County League.

Post by: johan95 on January 10, 2011, 03:14:19 PM
Not mine mwhahahahha. Sorry, I thought I would just rub that one in, though we need to work hard to ensure that we stay up, though I think Highgate can do it: there are some weak teams the 1s fancy themselves against...plus we will have 2 great overseas next year.. :D
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: Howzat on January 10, 2011, 04:08:57 PM
Will one be playing first team and one second? As in the MCCL only one non resident player is allowed to play per team...
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: tommo256 on January 10, 2011, 04:10:12 PM
I thought the rule had changed, well it has in our leagues, that you can have a coach, who is overseas, and a player as well?

Yeah - just seen the fixtures.  We play away 5 times in a row 30th July to 27th August!!

Saracens Herts League, Leo!

I'm not sure. One might be having British Citizenship or something so we might have 2 in one team. I think its the ex-Bangladesh player who is a British citizen now, and we have a guy coming over from India. Both great batsmen. And another New Zealander who will be playing in the 2s ...strength in depth I guess...

Went to Wanstead CC nets - hopefully joining them. Anyone know much about them?
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 10, 2011, 04:26:39 PM
I've heard of Wanstead the place, not the Cricket Club. Also I know that the Essex league is a very competitive one, and the top echelons play at a very high standard. Though ask Buzz and Canners1983, as I think they play in those leagues..
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on January 10, 2011, 04:32:19 PM
Canners plays in the essex league, Buzz plays Surrey Championship, Where i am looking to make a return too next year.
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 10, 2011, 04:39:04 PM
Aha, didn't realise Buzz was in a different league, as I thought they were quite close together...I did know that you were in Surrey, hence no mention for you unfortunately :( Still no luck on selling that Talisman btw mate?

Yes, some 15 year old kid moved the ball about 3 feet in the air and I simply couldn't get my bat anywhere near it.

Pesky, annoying, tricksy juniors.

Bruce as mentioned, I am more than happy to attend your winter nets and see if i can add something to the team.

I know the first team captain very well, his brother and one of the other players there. Have played cricket with them on many occasions. Have a lot of ex-Essex players and also have those who make it into the Essex squad.
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 11, 2011, 06:10:33 PM
They sound a bit like Finchley...they get quite a few players, at least at colt level, into Middlesex...seem quite similar. Sounds like you are joining a good club then mate :)

Thanks tim and johan - glad I'm joining there then. As I haven't played in ages, it'll come handy that they have a large contingent of coaches - seemingly - willing to help. In the nets session, there is video footage assistance advertised; hopefully that'll be available to all levels who turn up.

Sound a good club to me. I love Highgate, everyone is friendly and willing to help. Not the biggest budget, but we do have some decent facilities, and a nice ground...nets at lords, though we have to pay, during the winter too!

some good decks around Middlesex the one at Uxbridge was good
Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 11, 2011, 10:05:54 PM
Yeah quite a few. No surprise with Uxbridge, seeing as it is one of Middlesex's outgrounds. Southgate Walker Ground is a lovely deck too! Again another outground. Quite a few lovely decks to bat on in our area, Highgate's is pretty nice so that is good stuff! Bit of a road though...dunno if you've played at ours Frankie though the amount of 6s are an indicator... :)

Title: Re: Who's in London?
Post by: johan95 on January 11, 2011, 10:21:22 PM
1s,2s and 3s are all in MCCL Div 2, all aiming for promotion to the higher echelons in the coming years...! We're quite a small club with a lot of members, welcoming atmosphere and decent facilities. Not anything like North Midd etc, we're not overly rich, but have ample funds!
