Is nobody keen on the bowling machine idea, then? Need to get some interest otherwise I won't book it...

The way my shoulder feels after bowling for a couple of hours Sunday & Monday a bowling machine sounds good but nothing eats the look on Fattus face as you smash one past him, again lol

I'm a fan of the bowling machine!

Paul is it too late to drop in a new bat to you for it to be knocked in then first use in these nets?

I faced the bowling machine that is Fattus - at least a mechanical device doesn't give you lip!  :D

Not too late, Joe, but we'd really need to receive the bat by the end of the week as we have a big Gray-Nicolls backlog to get through first!

I will be bringing one to be knocked in, but you'll be happy to hear that time is not an issue.

You are conveniently forgetting the several you patted back because you didn't quite know where to hit them.

That's cunning that is!

Brucie's bowling gave me nightmares, I'm gonna have to bat when he's not bowling!

Bruce's bowling has a rather large reputation, the 5th could get dangerous with his bowling by the sounds of it! :D

The problem with Brucie's bowling is it is much slower than you expect, so when he bowls straight, you've generally played three shots by the time the ball hits the stumps...

Sounds good, mate - open until half 6.  :)

Unless anyone objects I will go ahead and book the bowling machine as this seems to be what people want.  Will need to collect this net money very soon, so all those who have confirmed can expect a PM about this within the next couple of days...

Hi Paul, Would running it over saturday be too late? Just realised I've left it by the front door :(

If it is too late I'll give it a good whack myself this weekend

If you hand it in Saturday morning, Joe, I can get my colleague, Harbinder, to oil it that day, and then we can knock it in early next week.  As we are closed on Sunday, and otherwise busy with a backlog, I think this would be the only way we can sort it in time...

Shall pop in on Saturday :D
