LFGSS Cricket Team

There has been a suggestion on the Cricket Thread that LFGSS field a cricket team for to play a few matches this summer. Seems we have a selection of players from a variety of cricketing nations who would be up for this. We also have also a couple of ideas for fixtures and could organise an LFGSS in house match if we had enough people for 2 teams.

Here's the list so far:

1. Hippy (c)
   
2. RPM (lb)
   
3. Skydancer (rh bat)
   
4. BRM (rfm)
   
5. chewy cheeks (rh bat)
   
   

Who's in?

I'm shite at bowling but can catch and know how scoring works.

I'd be up for it.

Middle order batsman (batted from 1-5 my whole life) and leg-spin

I've got kit for a couple of batsmen if that helps anything...

4. BRM (rfm)
   
5. chewy cheeks (rh bat)
   
6. Tenderloin

Perfect for the team Crispin Glover. Aim will be to have fun and if we occasionally win a match so much the better

tenderloin we need a leg spinner and thanks for the offer of kit

I'd be up for it. I'm a shit batsmen and shitter bowler and the only time I shine is in the outfield with a beer in my hands...

I haven't played for years. I used to play for Middlesex, London Schools, club and school when I was younger. Cricket was pretty much my whole life until I discovered drugs and girls :)

6. Tenderloin
   
7. Crispin 'Porky' Glover
   

Well up for this, not played for 10 or so years though.

lh hand bat and bowl probably terribly.

Some things hurt more, much more, than drugs and girls.

Anyone got any of the required kit?

I've got bat,pads gloves.

coupla balls

I can't play any more unfortunately - bowling does horrible things to my knee.

I've got kit if you want to borrow?

do you have your own cricket racquet?

You can borrow my cricket club

2 sets of everything - practice kit, and playing kit. No balls, but 2 pairs of jock straps...

No balls

Quoted for posterity

loins - are you certain you can afford to be taking part any sort of sporting endeavours involving hard, fast moving objects bearing in mind you dental impecunity?

Some things hurt more, much more, than drugs and girls.

Now quoting Prefab Sprout - I'll bring some spare kit taint modern but its functional.

Dan, then dont bowl and just bat and show us those skills middlesex picked you for - or where you picked as a bowler.

Hopefully they'll be sorted by summer (The first granny smith will be the real tester!) judging by the list so far beamers not bouncers will be my main worry! :P

p.s I do have a helmet, but that's proper keeno !

I have a never used only knocked in Woodworm bat, that set me back 280, but I just love my big old Kookaburra too much so have never used it. Plus only every netted at uni, and didn't get to play last summer due to golf and work!

I have an epic googly/wrong'un
