  1. The General

    FC - Game 1

    Welcome to Cloudbase for the match between Headingley Clouds and General Stars. We can tell you that General Stars won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day. End of Over 39 (4 runs). General Stars...

  2. Battrick - Game 14

    Anyone got a vital game today ? Roke Island XI v BATTY SHRIMPERS We're guaranteed a top 4 finish, and will finish 2nd if we win and Ferretts lose to the leaders. Full-strength on a GFI. And we've made a good start... We can tell you that Roke Island XI won the toss and elected to field. The...

  3. What or Who is more important? Southend United or Ron Martin?

    We continue to discuss the merits of boycotting Roots Hall for the purpose of venting our feelings to the Chairman. But I'm not convinced for the follwing reasons: (1) I think he pretty much knows how the majority of fans feel. (2) I don't think he gives a toss. (3) Would any such a...

    FC - Match 6

    ShrimperZone CC v Fingers XI Return game from last week, we'll do well to repeat last week's hefty win, particularly after losing two early wickets on a Sunny day. Good toss to win though as bowling conditions forecast for days 2 and 3. End of Over 14 (3 runs). ShrimperZone CC: 42-2...

    FC - Match 4

    Eppleton CC v ShrimperZone CC 2nd of 4 games against them this season, they sneaked past me in OD so hoping for revenge. It's sunny today and cloudy tomorrow in Durham so a good toss to win. Sini hit the first ball of the innings for 6, can't happen too often in FC!! End of Over 2 (3 runs)...

    FC - Match 3

    Forgot it was Tuesday and not Monday today, so forgot to set my team, and we won the toss, annoyingly had it set up to bowl when batting first would've been better with the weather in Essex. We're bottom and they're 5th so need a win. Southend United v Okey Dokes Nudgers Welcome to Southend...

    England v Bangladesh

    Bangladesh win the toss and put England in. Eoin Morgan comes in for his debut and Jimmy Anderson returns and a first test match in England for Stephen Finn. Under English conditions this should be a stroll for England ahead of the 4 test series against Pakistan in August.

    OD - Week 1

    Eppleton CC v ShrimperZone CC League rivals in both FC and OD, we rested players and lost both games against them last season. Full strength this time round but not a good start given the bowling conditions. We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is...

    TV Highlights Oldham Highlights

    For those who have missed it - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8643131.stm Few points - - Mildy should have saved the first. It's come from a long way out, so he's had time to adjust his feet, but even then it's right down his throat. It's more a half hearted attempt...

    Tremendous

    Still up on the lash from last night's game! For all the unending, full-bloodied vitriolic, abusive, condescending sheeeeeite I've put up with (despite being an interesting, realistic and occasionally informative chap) over the past 8 years or so on the various forums, may I say a polite...

    FC - Match 8

    Started early as advice needed. Title decider for me at home to 1st looking to overturn a 9 point defecit. All about turning over top order and I've gone for 5 bowlers 3 spinners on my dusty. Weather is cloudy and humid, cloudy, sunny. Have chose. To put them in if I win the toss. Correct ?

    FC - Match 7

    Cricket is for girls v ShrimperZone CC Pretty much a promotion decider today: 1. ShrimperZone CC 6 3 0 3 0 28 15 97 2. Cricket is for girls 6 3 0 3 0 24 16 94 Sunny/C&H/Sunny is the forecast so a vital toss to win and we managed it. Set ourselves to hopefully bat all day. Digana makes his...

  13. OD - Week 9

    Lampys Lightning v BATTY SHRIMPERS We're 4th and take on the side in 6th today. A win will take us 8 points clear of them. Couldn't agree a mutual TIE, so we've had to GFI, which is going to cause some problems for next weeks FC game. Full-strength side out. We can tell you that Lampys...

    Bangladesh v England - Test Series

    Bangladesh win the toss and put England in, from what I saw early this morning the pitch looks to be a real bunsen. Which to my mind makes England's selection of 6 batsmen with Prior at 7 very strange. On the basis of the 8 wickets he took at the same ground I thought Tredwell would be a shoo...

    FC - Match 6

    Reverse fixtures from last week, hopefully we can repeat last weeks surprising win. Hard & Fast pitch (do people still use them?) but cloudy first day and we've made a couple of early breakthroughs. Welcome to icedgod CG for the match between icedgod and ShrimperZone CC. We can tell you that...

  16. FC - Match 5

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Team Tadley C.C. Relegation battle for me this week. I'm 5th and he's 6th, loser can probably kiss goodbye to staying up. Pretty much a full-strength side out, and we've made a good start. We can tell you that Team Tadley C.C. won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is...

  17. OD - Match 5

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Bogeymen I'm 6th, he's 2nd. Agreed a mutual TIE with him as he's still in the Cup. Full-strenth side, although new singing Frazer is only at Moderate, but he's probably still a better bet than a Double Superb. Otherwise we're not too shabby PFL wise Tough day for batting, and...

  18. OD - Match 4

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Hubbards Hills CC Even at this stage of the season, this is a must-win game. He's bottom having lost all 3 games so far, whilst I'm 7th (although only NRR seperates 4th to 7th). Therefore we're at full-strength on a GFI, although we have a Superb/Superb as 5th bowler as I...

    FC - Match 3

    Zanarkand Abes v ShrimperZone CC Always an unusual game. Zanarkand are massively batting heavy and he sets his team up to draw all his games. Though his pitch is now uneven rather than flat. Cloudy in Kent today, sunny tomorrow so a big toss to win. Only upside is that McCloud is on fresh...
