Yep, Sam's right. Clevedon's where Andy Caddick has played recently

[ianbuchanan]

Clevedon is a decent ground, I'm sure I've played against you Nespreso? Down at Minehead where we hit 310 and lost! I opened the batting and hit 20 odd... I was at the game at your place but scored because of my broken leg/ankle

Yep was quite a game, I seem to remember our number 3 spooning the ball to point and then being dropped on 0 before going to on get a 100. Shame the game out ours was a wash out, it was nicely set up.

[ianbuchanan]

Haha was an epic game to say the least, and the guy on our team who dropped him still gets abused because of it to this day! It was nicely set-up for you to thrash us! We're up at your place in June this year so hopefully it will be a nice wicket like normal

[SG6-18]

best: Whitgift school. awesome wicket and outfield. surprisingly small for 1st class venue
worst: goring or Brighton and Hove CC. both v average but always really cold when we play there so even worse

[Nespresco]

Will still be up at loughborough about to graduate then so will miss the game. Our groundsman retired end of last season so hopefully the new one will do a similarly good job. Just gunna hope this season is the season my run up and bowling action fix themselves. If not I got a nice new lens and will be the team photographer.

Ah fair play, I guess you'll be back for the return fixture in July/August time? Were you the guy who bowled up the hill at our place last year, 2nd or 3rd change? If so, you looked pretty nippy! I umpired and turned down those 2 close LBW's lol

Yep the one who was bowling the top line to a left hander which was a shame as it was a right hander ant both ends.  As for the LBWs they were very close

[ianbuchanan]

Haha! Very close LBW's, my finger was out on the 2nd one... just didn't make it up (sounds dodgy :s ). Didn't make much difference in the long run though, after you guys made short work of 300!

Thats just part of second team cricket, to be fair I think both were out. But i cant say anything about them not being given because Im fairly sure it would have been the same result if it had been the other way round. LBWs, unless it is hitting the base of middle, are a bonus, Its the same for both teams so its fair, afterall its a batsmens game in fact in my very first game of senior cricket their captain cut me to slip in my first over and it wasn't given out :S

Back on topic, I had first outdoor session on tuesday and clevedon wicket was already looking good. Nothing beats a sunny afternoon of cricket with the smell of freshly cut grass.
