Well, you go off in the evening for one awful net in Dr Buzz's barn of doom, and all this happens!!!

This is chum-tastic, 11 of us I think, which means a very overcrowded net for the first hour then just about enough bowlers to see us through the last half-hour!!

Points of order:

A) Bring a few light snacks and drinks to keep the energy levels up (Jelly Bunnies seem a good idea!)
B) As this may be the last time we all get to meet up for a while, feel free to try and have one quick drink in the pub afterwards
C) Everyone has to buy / swap at least one piece of kit (even you Hank, I'll bring some bat tape for you!)
C) It's Easter - so fancy dress is permissible

Now - I have set targets for you all -

@petehosk -              try to land 5 leggies out of 6, some sucker will get out to them (that would be me  )
@simonmay5 -          try to spend more time in the nets than lurking outside of them, accosting every stranger with the phrase "wanna buy some nylons?" and flashing your brown Mac at them.
@ppccopener -          play one moo shot, go on, just one dirty moo with no foot movement!
@Batbuddy99 -         become a pure spinner, ditch all this seam up nonsense, eat a few pies, get fat and bowl offies
@tom line -              play back 6 perfect forward-defensives in a row and inform the bowlers "you'll not get past this!!!"
@Northern monkey - do not complain about any broken part of your body, and stop whacking it everywhere - you're from the dour North, and you're as young as the woman you feel!
@hankbuddy -          open the batting like a pinch-hitting colossus and show your son how to 'bloody well get on with it!'
@WalkingWicket37 - bat left-handed - go on - nothing can look weirder than you do when you are bowling
@Chalkie -               bowl an in-ducker, it might swing there on Saturday, and that will make you a nasty handful
@DiscoStu -             you are an unknown quantity, tell everyone that you are really good at one type of bowling, then proceed to bowl something completely different
@FattusCattus -       play a shot through the leg-side with looking like you are trying to hump the square leg umpire.

@neoncricket , you still busy for this one on the 15th?

I'm not involved in our Sat game so am free if anyone is coming across from ciderland?

@Northern monkey

seeing as we may be up to 12 bodies, how do people feel about extending it to 11am - 3pm if I can?

[petehosk]

4 hours works for me 

[ppccopener]

Yes magic if possible I normally run a bit late 

[Batbuddy99]

Yeah sure

[tom line]

What times are they currently?

[petehosk]

2 nets from 11am - 2pm cutrently.
So would mean both nets from 11am - 3pm if both nets are available for the extra hour

[FattusCattus]

Checking now.

[tom line]

If they don't answer/reply I can call them during the day tomorrow if that helps

[FattusCattus]

We now have the nets from 11am to 3pm, so lots of batting for everyone.

@uknsaunders  - you are welcome to join us on 2 conditions -

1) Stop doing your BB8 impressions
2) Stop humping the leg of the Bola - it will never love you back!

[ppccopener]

what a bunch of legends that is

[Chalkie]

@Chalkie -               bowl an in-ducker, it might swing there on Saturday, and that will make you a nasty handful




TBH after last nights nets I'll be pleased just to bowl some straight ones in the channel, shocking session with the ball
