Another utterly charming session with a broad range of chums. It seems that only us friendly, down to earth Southern Nancies can organise frequent nets, and we are now pulling in several Northerners, a few from the midlands, a man with a lustrous beard and Sussex's answer to Violet Beauregarde (you know who you are!!!).
Many high points today:
@jblowe bringing his wife's samosas - absolutely sublime
@jblowe , despite looking like cricket's most traditional player, getting seriously aroused by Dave's massive T20 style Chase
@Batbuddy99 totally exploding one of his bats - seriously, one bit was in his hand and the other was hanging in the netting
@petehosk batting with the same bat for quite some time!
@WalkingWicket37 bowling 3 consecutive full-tosses which were despatched and announcing "right, that's it, I'm out of wicket-taking options!"
@Churchy1989 turning a new colour which was somewhere between pink and Ribena
@procricket pulling on his special chestguard and charging the bowling machine - bravest hobbit in the shire
@tom line attempting something violent to a short ball and ending up tangled in the netting at short leg
@Mpt7 and
@Sivlar13 having a 'special friends net' where they whacked the ball and charged up and down shouting "there's 2 there" or "push it, push it" - WTF, it nearly made me choke on my 4th flapjack!
But the final word shall go to an unnamed attendee who said to me 'It's a bit odd being here, is everyone a bit of a weirdo?' despite having brought more bats than most, batting, bowling, offering to keep, talking to absolutely everyone about their kit, picking up everyone elses bats and playing more than a full part in the day'.
Yes my friend, we are all weirdos - and you sir, are definitely one of us!!!
