    Eng V SL

    Was really looking forward to this summer's series against Sri Lanka but Sri Lanka have pretty much named a second string bowling attack. Murali has of course retired (as did Vaas a year or two back), but Malinga is being kept back for limited overs cricket, as is Angelo Mathews and there is no...

    I've been tempted into this again...

    About the same time last year, I started a Battrick team and then forgot about it. Hope to not do the same thing again. Went through some old threads for advice on startup and this is the squad I'm with at the mo after some early strengthening with 17 year olds for training (only spent £1000 or...

  5. ME complaints - Allan speaks out

    Don't know if anyone spotted this, but it's worth a read.... Some Complaints About the ME By BT-allanfc on 11/03/2011, under General Information. Over the last couple of weeks we have received a number of emails complaining about the match engine, and I thought the best place to try and address...

    FC - Match 9

    Into last chance saloon territory. Me 5th away to 6th while 4th is away to top followed by me at home to 4th next week. Simple enough. I need to win both to survive or dominate a draw next week. On cracked so gone with 3 seamers and 2 spinners. 2 all rounders in that set up. If I fail to win...

  7. OD - Match 10

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v the_yak_pack BOT-bashing today, so rested a couple and set everyone to V. Attacking. We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this sunny day. We've dropped...

    Match 5

    At home 4th v 3rd. We have 3 sunny days so I'm taking the rare opportunity to bat first in the hope that conditions change on my dusty track. Thought about 3 spinners but have gone with 2 and 2 seamers with an all rounder on 5th for a very short spell. Defeat is not a word I want to hear as I...

    Can we make it 5 on the spin away from home?

    Looking back through the archive unless i'm mistaken, the last time we won 5 away games on the bounce was 1931!! Be nice to break that record.

  11. OD - Match 6

    Rodley CC v BATTY SHRIMPERS We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy day. A few at Energetic, but should still be able to win on a TIE. New...

    Mercenaries ?

    I am not going to start a thread and moan about our chairmen or manager for lack of signings, I mean 3 months ago this board was full of praise saying we had the best chairman in the league who really did care about the club and the fans. Now I want to spin the other arguement and ask are...

    England v South Africa Test Series

    1st Test against the Saffers at Lords on Thursday, which should be an interesting and competitive series which I hope England can shade 2-1. The South Africans definitely have a potent pace attack in Steyn, Ntini & Nel, plus Morkel is getting some good reviews. Dale Steyn may possibly be the...

    Durham/ECB postpone ****-up in brewery citing organisational difficulties

    As anyone who has been following the sports news will be aware the Durham v Yorks 20:20 game was called off because their young spinner Azeem Rafiq was apparently ineligible (or according to Nasser Hussain, illegible - presumably this is because his doosra is unreadable). This is probably the...

    OD - Week 3

    We play Stick Cricket who have a former England U-19 bowler in their ranks. I thought Level IV was meant to be easy!! Mario rests as he's down to lively, Suthers forced to play at invigorated - I have no choice! Plan next week in FC is to switch to H&F, play no bowlers and try and bat th...

    England ODI side

    Following on from the debate/dissection in the ODI thread, let's do the selectors' job for them, and pick an ODI side that can actually beat second-rate teams like New Zealand: Bell - really growing into the role as opener Mustard (wk) - what exactly did he do to be dropped? Pietersen - the...

    Lisbon treaty

    Shooed in by the House of Lords last night. How meek this country has become since the poll tax riots. A few whimpers of protest and that's about it. This, to me, is the result of the way politics has been in the last 15 years. Too much spin doctoring and hot air have left people totally...
