Hiya Guys,

We went through to the next round of the Cockspur 20/20 at the weekend for the East Anglia Premier League. Beating 2010 winners Swardeston in the final, very close game with them needing six off the last ball. That means we are two games away from the finals day on Sky.

I think we are playing the winners of the Middlesex Premier League in the next round. Just wondered if you guys knew of the knew of the teams left in it and what they are like.

Cheers

who is left in it?

[Manormanic]

Thnk you might get Ealing in which case, erm, good luck with that...

[benbellward]

So how good are Ealing then?

[Howzat]

Middlesex one is still going on as rain has really delayed us the quarter final matches are...
Uxbridge vs Harrow St Marys
Ealing vs Teddington
Finchley vs Hampsted
Southgate or Winchmore Hill vs Hornsey or Highgate

[benbellward]

Blimey you are a long way behind. So who are the stand out teams that are left? What sort of players do they have?

[Howzat]

Ealing or Teddington will probably win it. Although as I'm an Uxbridge boy I would like to think we have a chance

So Ealing won it last year. Who are theyre stand out players and what do they do particulary well?

[Manormanic]

Chris Peploe seems to be their big star - used to play for Middlesex, quality left arm spinner, can bat too.  They have strength in depth, do most things well basically - think they've losy about two games in the last 18 months.

Ealing had players last year all bowling over 85 mph

[uknsaunders]

Played against an Asian lad a few years ago who opened the bowling for Ealing, think he was pushing 75-80 mph. Would've been brown pants time but the deck was so slow and low that I just about dealt with him. Being a friendly as well he might of been under orders to pitch it up

A guy joined us this season from Teddington, real quality player.

Went to the finals day at Chelmsford last year as my previous employer were sponsoring the kit.

It's a good day but quite cold as it was late on in the year!

Really? Think that maybe a trumour that one! League cricketers rarley bowl gas like that! Would be quite an experience though!

Tahir Afridi who opened the bowling for Ealing last year bowled around 75mph, apparently Ollie Wilkin is just touching 80mph so dont know where reds got that statement from.
