yeah i've been to Bristol's ground but not played there (we got lost on the way to Old Bristolians ). and i have a friend who plays there, keeps wicket for their 1's.

Ha, as long as the nightlife is fine. No value for me on this tour even as a batsman, not used to anything flat, hard or bouncy!

This is now next week, totally buzzing and hope the weather holds out!

Sadly a few teams dropped out of fixtures on us due to ground availability issues, but weve just about got a full schedule - now including a 2-day game against Bristol! The others are T20 thrashes, quite looking forward to Clevedon as that looks an interesting place.

We are full now mate, thanks for the offer tho. Seems there are lots of Clubs up for games down that way, that kind of friendly/social cricket has almost died a death up here.

Well hope the weather improves by next week mate as its wet as an otters pocket in Brizzle at the moment! what days u playing against Bristol might venture up

We are now playing a Twenty20 knock against Wookey Indians which I think is a pretty social standard just to ease us in after a days travel and a chance for tailenders to open the batting etc. Then Bristol over 2 days and a Clevedon Twenty20 between. Then back to the drudgery of midtable in Cheshire as our promotion push has just gone completely off the rails.

Tuesday and Thursday. No idea what the format is or how we are likely to get on... I assume it will be 2 innings per-side to account for a potential collapse by one of the team (ie. us!) ruining a 2-innings, 160 over game.
