Cricket teams

[Brendan]

I like the coat of arms. (tu)

[LeonWatson]

Yeah we thought using crossed guns instead of swords was very South London.

Get some net sessions in first though. The chief reporter here is also setting up another equally rubbish team called the Trinity Crack Squirrels who could give you game at some point, but we'll let you know about that later.

[Jimbo]

This is all getting very exciting.... 18th is good for me, if I get selected!

Is anyone from ED going to the Lords test match? I am going tomorrow and Sunday. If you are going Sunday you had better be aware that the trains aren't running from ED!!!! PM me if you fancy a drink at lords on any of those days.

[Brendan]

I'm not going to the match but I intend to skive off work on Friday afternoon, install myself at the bar at the CPT and watch it from there.

[Jimbo]

Is the CPT a good pub to watch the cricket in? If so I might pop in there Saturday.

[jim_the_chin]

the 18th would be great as it's my birthday - unfortunately it's also my boys so i'll be at a party, knee deep in manic 5 year olds high on fruit shoots on the day.

Hi ppl.

This is the first time ive posted for around 8 weeks.

I must say that im excited about a forum cricket team. I am free on the 18th and would love to play.

If you would like, I can do some research as to the availability of the Belair pitch on that day. I play for the Belair Corinthians At that same ground?

Bye for now

[mockney piers]

Great stuff IMJ, let us know how it goes.

[MadWorld74]

Mr MW74 plays for the East Dulwich cricket team.

There is also the Streatham Marlborough team down by Dulwich Common.

[LeonWatson]

So any news on a venue?

We're keen to dish out a thrashing.

[Keef]

Thems fighting words!!!!

[LeonWatson]

Bring it on!

We reckon you forum people are all talk (boom boom).

If you want any more games we've got contact with a few other local start-up teams. Maybe next year we can set up a league.

[mockney piers]

Are you guys particularly good at SLiP fielding?

*sssshwooooosshhhhhhwwoooosshshhhhhh*

*dungggggggg* *sssshwooooosshhhhhhwwoooosshshhhhhh*

*ahem* I'll get my coat.

[Bleep]

Aarrgh I'm in Manchester that date. Bummeration.

[JoeChuff]

I'll be on my hols :(

keep me in mind for future games though!

[edbrummie]

at work on the 18th . would like to attend any training/net sessions or subsequent matches if they occur

[LeonWatson]

See they're all ducking out now - running scared.

Any more excuses?

[mockney piers]

I bumped into a non-forumite at the weekend who said he knew a few people up for it, i think it safe to say we shouldn't (touch wood) have a problem getting 11 together. A lot of interested parties.

[Fear 'n boozin]

and the list is finally up in the Sleepy Tea.

[LeonWatson]

Sounds good guys.

Hope we'll be able to get 11 as well.

Any news on the venue? We want to know it is definitely going ahead so we can let people know. Obviously we'll chip in our fair share for any costs.

[Brendan]

If we are going to do this on the 18th shouldn't we arrange a net?

[mockney piers]

Absolutely. I saw ive-met-jimmy last night to keep up the pressure for getting hold of the ground for the 18th. Does anyone know where the nearest nets are for us to practice in?

[Brendan]

I have heard tell of nets in Dulwich Park. Anyone know where they are?

[edbrummie]

2 nets on the field near the recumbents
