I wanted to cut all those balls i'm leaving into the hedge. I'm surprised i lasted so long before having a wipe.

Describing my missed stumping as a tough chance, interesting. It is one of the worst things I've done on a cricket field! i had so much time to wait for it and whip the bails off, i just lost concentration.

We all had brainstorms at various points yesterday. I bowled a bad over, Chris slogged when he was cruising to a ton and then Gary did the same thing. It happens and we'd be Pro's if it never did!

Any news on H4L softs for 2014? The 2013 range sold out on website but see lots of pairs of pads and gloves in workshop photo!

[uknsaunders]

I think they are the last of the present stock. Matt's the best person to speak to but I think something is in the pipeline.

Mentioned to me he was looking at October for his new softs to be in.

Thanks, might hold on a bit rather than pick up a bargin in the sales right away.

Manormanic... bad knee? He's just slow, whether fit or not - trust me I've seen him hobbling after my bowling the last 2 weeks

Excuse me Mr Saunders, skipper, sir I am not having my name tarnished with an accusation of getting out to a slog it was a mid timed drive from a ball that turned a bit thank you very much

Thanks to all the lads it was a great great game and enjoyed by all, really nice to meet all you guys and there was some good talent on show and for a team that was put together we did very well.

Would love a north vs south game, south will win easy just got to bowl on a length and watch them all get confused lol.

Chatting to the oppo afterwards I think a return fixture is defiantly on the cards 2 day or 1 day I think they really enjoyed the day as much as us.

There was quite a nice selection yes, jake @ vitas had a lovely Laver & Wood and Ian had a couple of lovely trees with grips attached lol. Garry had a old put very nice Newbery and Pistol had, well possibly the most beat up and abused piece of willow I have ever seen but it did the job. Oh and mine isn't bad either

I had a gm icon+ not sure what ciaran had. Arvind used his aswani naturally.

Wish I had a pic of pistols shark. It had a big dent in the top side edge and looked like he had coloured the face red with felt tip  . Hit a nice six off his toes though so it cant be too bad.

Moved North v South discussion to here:-

I'll echo everyone's comments...it was a great day. Although that was a long time in the car with Grampa Saunders driving!!

The Shark has taken offence, it's a well loved piece of willow! I'll get the camera out to show it's custom look.

Hmmm...really?  One week I was half way up Scafell and the other you didn't keep the ball inside the ropes enough for anyone to chase it!
