@Seniorplayer was the village bit you raising your bat in self defense or the bowler being a Muppet? ;)
Doesn't sound like cricket was the winner at your game with that and the crap sledging

Our 2nds told us a great one yesterday

The umpire was signalling 4 byes, the only problem is that the ball had bowled the guy and it was fielded before it reached the boundary as well

Ump was a bit sheepish after that

I had one today (which cost me a pound in the pub)

Hit bat plumb in front I turn to appeal keep appealing ump gives it lbw then my team mates proceed to piss themselves as while I was appealing the ball had rolled onto the stumps so it bowled him

It wasn't yesterday it was a few seasons ago  I picked up my bat if needed to use in self defence the village moment was him kicking the stumps over

My son was acting as a runner for our injured no3 who was hit on the toe.
Firstly the batsman starts to hop up the pitch forgetting he has a runner.
A while later he edges to the keeper who drops it.Batsman wanders out the crease saying" wow that was lucky" as the keeper quickly takes the bails off.Doh  out.

Couple of weeks ago played a club 3s. Had 8 men no one knew who was in charge. Game delayed while they found another 3 I let them bat. The village aspect was I was bowling offies and followed the guy as he tried to make room and hit in pads ball went to mid wicket and they ran 1. Umpire gave a wide said it was going down leg side! Refused to change decision. For tea they had two rounds of sandwiches and nothing else no tea drinks etc. They offered us the  food but 4 of their guys came and hoovered them up. They got 55 we got the runs in 4.2 overs.
You are prob thinking we are the big shots and they are poor little side and go easy on them they are trying their best. But they actually run 5 Saturday sides and have a 1st XI wage bill of £150k!

That seems to be the figure everyone has heard. Entire team is paid. Some are on long term contracts. Club has a wealthy benefactor. However impression people get they don't care about youth or lower sides just 1s. Unsurprisingly some nick name them the Galácticos.

Say a first team squad of 14, getting £10k each! Nice £500 a week extra for 20 weeks of a season. Surely minor counties don't pay that

As I've said that is the rumoured figure apparently again only rumour that one player gets 20k plus team have two overseas so that may include flight etc etc. Each overseas will be 15k. Squad players get expenses. Pay petrol money too. However other clubs spend a bit as well.

What is even the point of paying your entire first team?!

Had a humourous moment at the weekend, quite village.

Batsman jabs down on a full delivery with a thick edge. Blatantly takes it on the full, into the ground and pops up to gully. Fielder catches one handed above his head and appeals. Fielders all laugh and batsmen looks at fielder. Fielder realised what happened, sees batsman is out of his crease and throws the stumps down for a runout.

In our evening league game last Thursday, their number 7 or 8 batsman came out to bat with his thigh pad outside his trousers.
I stopped trying after that

I've heard they've got a player on the payroll for in excess of 35k a season, but they legally employ them under a 'Director of Cricket' title so it's all fair regulation wise. Apparently as part of the deal he also gets use of the club facilities FOC for private coaching on the side.

Mental money, but then Bath can afford it so why not I suppose!

That's Muchall who came from Frocester, does a lot of the coaching and planning for them. Not saying it justifies 35k but I wouldn't say no!!
