The first rule of the jug is: you do not talk about the jug. The second rule of the jug is: you DO NOT talk about the jug! Third rule of the jug: if someone yells "stop!", goes limp, or taps out, the jug is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a jug. Fifth rule: one jug at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: the jugs are bare knuckle. No shirt, no shoes, no weapons. Seventh rule: jugs will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at the jug, you have to drink!

We do that with team fines after each game ends up keeping the team in beer for the night

Team fines is the way forward. We do it every league match. £3 being the smallest and £5 being the most. No one escapes a fine, doesnt matter what you do in the game, good or bad, you will get fined. It is an easy way to get £500 at the end of the season for a lads night out.

We tend to keep fines for tour only. And it ranges from £2 up to £15 if oh doing something really bad. Not all cricket related. Fines build up over thrusday and friday then pay for meals and drinks Friday night. Fines from cricket pay for meals and drinks that night. Sunday fines are a bit more forgivable as it's the last day. Anything left goes towards a meal on the way back.

Fines throughout the season would be brutal! We would have a lot left for the end of season dinner!

You know it's summer when that £300 odd quid you had been saving for a few years to spend on a another hobby ends up disappearing in the two months before the start of the season.

I am not the most popular at my club at the moment, after scoring a ton I managed to "lose my wallet" but managed to buy myself a Bulmers. No-one was impressed when I offered everyone a sip as an alternative to buying a jug :D

I sense Felly's involvement here!

I was twelfers for a Lincs game when I was a teen - the fines afterwards were horrendous (luckily I wasn't included) - if you dropped a catch it was a quid a run for every extra run the bastmen went on to make - one opposition batsman was put down in single figures and then went on to a ton - ouch!

I'm realising that the cricket season is here as I'm sat at my desk on a Tuesday morning and my body aches everywhere from Sunday's game
