Cricket match versus The Dolphin!

Yes nets will continue whatever the weather. In fact I'm hoping for a continuous bout of heavy rainfall tomorrow night to help toughen up the squad.

If it's raining we stay in The Dolphin.

Worried by a bit of rain? I think you really ought to get some practice having challenged the combined forces of The Dolphin & Dartmouth. Here is their provisional line-up boasting years of experience between them.

Mike - bodyliner
Dan - talks a good game
Drew - makes up for Dan
Mick - turns up
Freya - highest scorer
Mike - not afraid to fall over
James - team ringer
Ellie - press ganged but keen
Chandy - watch that spin
Paul - slogs like a farmer
Aron - are there many Hungarian cricketers this good? Be careful

(changes subject to demand in the bars)

Good session of nets. But Sydenhamboy and Kiwi - where were you? Please let me know that you can definitely turn up on Monday.

Whoops, I put the wrong location on the frontpage for a few minutes this morning. The current one is correct:

nasaroc wrote:The game is at Sydenham Cricket Club off Kent House Lane starting at 6.15pm. Meet at The Dolphin at 5.45pm- 6pm. To get to the ground, go down Sydenham Road past the Dolphin to your left and turn right at the first set of traffic lights into Kent House Road. 200m along Kent House road turn left at a mini-roundabout into Kent House Lane. Look out for a lane (Cricket Lane) on the right after about 100m. Club is at end of lane.

See you all tonight to play or cheer? You can find a map here: http://www.sydenham.org.uk/news_cricket.html

I would just like to reiterate (sp?) that it was a hugely enjoyable evening, for both sides. Many thanks to all the organisers and participants, and many congratulations to the winners,.....

who were........................?

(I look forward to any future events, and the opportunity to exact some revenge)

Thanks to all who made it a memorable occasion ... especially the team captains for making it all possible.

just moved to sydenham...cricket player...is there a game this year?

Fourteen postings in two days of membership! Are you trying to establish some sort of record, lamb chops?

I have read most of your postings with interest. Half of them I simply could not understand but when I read on the Woodman thread that you were Australian it all began to make sense.

Yes - we are arranging a few cricket games this summer - assuming the weather isn't the same as last year. I'm hoping to repeat the game against the Dolphin - between you and me, Michael at the Dolphin is blowing hot and cold, claiming half his team has left etc etc but I'm sure that when summer comes they'll have as strong a side as last year.

I'm also trying to arrange a game against SE23.com (the FH website).
Any other suggestions for opponents gratefully received. I'll post details of the first game in a few month's time on STF.

yeah...i get a LOT of spare time at work...

anyway, when do you have the games? i play on sundays during the summer with my regular team, so mid week games would be ace.

if you need any help with fixtures against teams then i can help you. i captained a side for my club for 5 years so i've loads of contacts in the south east.

let me know asap if you want some contacts...it's easier if you have a home pitch as i know a few wandering sides.

lambchops · Post by **lambchops** » 28 Mar 2008 16:50

nasser, you got any fixture dates yet?

a game against se23.com would be excellent.

if i bring along a barbie, can we fire that up after the matches?

as you can tell, i'm a little excited.

I'd be up for this, although I haven't played properly since school days...the last time was at a design company where we made a cricket ball out of masking tape and our bat was made of cardboard.

Oh, they were the days.

this is how the english team train, isn't it?

hahahah

Listen mate - Don't be so impatient. It's the second day of spring and it's going to be a few weeks yet before we can play - this isn't Woolangong.

Hope we can confirm a game against SE23 at the quiz evening (this is an intellectual activity, so there's no need for you to take part - save your energy for the cricket).

Good idea about the barbie. Lamb chops are my favourite.

ah, i've just got the give the missus fair warning...i'm always in the shit for working saturdays and then playing sundays.

Mr Nasaroc. The combined forces of The Dolphin and The Dartmouth Arms are ready to face whatever team you can come up with. We did lose a couple of stalwarts last season but an injection of fresh blood should see you off. Just name that date.

I have also been approached by a team from Lewisham Council who are looking for some games this Summer. Perhaps we could take them on together.

personally, I would love to take on Lewisham Council with a firm piece of willow in my hands.

Dunno about cricket though

Dont forget the scorer - always useful to have someone you can trust on board! My pencil is sharpened and ready....
