CrystalClear Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 A few of us played a (very) amature game last season against one of the local regular teams, and would like to play some more this season (more than once anyway). Would anybody be interested in creating a forum team? (of particularly low standards - when I say play I mean we stood at the crease for brief periods of time.....watched the ball fly past us in the field.....and tried our damndist to throw a ball near the batter when blowling!). However, myself and a few friends would like to try and play a little more, but we're not really local side material.....On another note (a just outside of Dulwich one I'm afraid), Surrey have started taking bookings for the 20:20 season - anybody fancy going (this seemed easier than an e-mail!). The game against Hants caught me eyehttp://www.surreycricket.com/ticketing/domestic/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 AsI recall I scored about 4 of 20 odd balls, I thought Keef was inspired, and you had a rpetty good innings yourself.Especially as we bowled at about 6 mph and the opposition around 70 mph.Gosh, is that bob over there, err time is money people, gotta go ;?P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Last time we were soundly beaten by the belair cricket club. I may be able to get us a game against the Clapham Inns 11 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalClear Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Um, can't the Clapham Inns 11 actually *play* cricket? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yes they can, so body armour de rigeur I suggest. Look forward to the 20:20 I must say. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaywe Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well I might be able to play depending on the date and time. I've been known to throw the arm over on the odd occasion.

Guest Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Folks, if 'we' (and by that I mean - you) play Clapham, you'd better be victorious. The shame of a defeat would be too much to bear.

Huguenot Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hmmm, I feel we will indeed lose. Those chaps have been playing together for years and a couple of their batsmen would terrorise my medium/slow right arm action (even with its viciously dipping, swerving flight of course).However, we could take heart from the fact that they aren't strictly a Clapham team - the name came from a strangled pun on Clap Them In Thirds (some sort of musical term). However, just as The Madness of King George (III) had to be renamed for the yank market because those silly americans thought it was a half-arsed sequel of a sequel, they became Clapham Inn because nobody was prepared to play a 'thirds' team.It's an old tradition I believe, we renamed our thirds team the 'Tigers' because we couldn't get a game until we pretended to have a personality ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'll have a word with my brother when he gets back from honeymoon, to see if we can't book up a day with the claphamites this summer (incidentally I'm pretty certain not one of them actually lives in clapham) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172-cricket/#findComment-2913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
