Cricket Draft

[Guest LFD]

I've heard LFD is trying to stinge on lunch and tea so i'm drafting in Gatting and Boon to put pressure on him.

 

Gatting and Boon would want to play at Lords every day!

 

Best lunch there apparently.

From what Bumble was saying they get a 3 course menu with loads of choices.

No chance, be all rice and plain fish now surely. No doubt it would have been steak and that in the 80s. Few of the grounds I've played at would put a Lords tea to shame. At certain clubs where you knew there would be an epic tea you'd make sure you fielded first.

 

Probably what I miss most about playing cricket.

This guy used to be head chef at Lords:

You'd think so but I was amazed when Demonic Cork, I think it was, read out the lunch menu during the last test....treacle sponge or the equivalent

[lifetime fan]

We got great teas when i played for my Corp in the army, and beer!!

 

 

Should have been a good tea playing with the Sri Lankans.

[Champ]

Nothing worse than a shit tea. Used to drive me fucking mental. Paying a fiver for a fucking cheese sandwich and a wagon wheel.

I did offer my services.....

Lots of weird food in pastries, lovely rice dishes...cuppa was nice. Had some great times with them, down to earth although you got some sneaky bastards, had to make sure your valuables were locked away.

[Guest LFD]

Not sure how long to wait to see if we get anymore interest.

 

Anyone else interested in playing?

[Red Banjo]

Im not really sure what this is - but i'll have some of it.

 

I'll re-read the thread to get a better idea

You have said its a knockout competition but have it down as 12 teams of two. That doesn't fit into a knockout.You need either 16 teams or 32.

Final 2

Semi 4

Quarter 8

Last 16

Last 32

 

Or am I missing something?

Could easily get around that by having 4 groups of 6, each team to play each other with the top 2 from each go through to semi finals or top four to quarter finals...etc etc.

 

Just realised i'm red, better get onto paypal to sort me membership out.

I missed my opportunity to get my Bopara neg in without recrimination.

hahaha, I'm Gold again. I can't see Bopara getting into anyone's team, but you never know.

Even I know that much....

I reckon you know more than you let on, well about the modern day game anyway.

Definately a sly one to watch, reckon she'll be picking a couple of brains at home too.

Indeed. I'd say being an old git is an advantage, but google bollocks up my major advantage.

Who on earth would accuse you of that?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Who on earth would accuse you of that?

 

The young ones, although 48 is no age at all.

What do they say about criminals always returning to the scene of their crime....

Either you"ve got early onset dementia or you're way more forgiving than me!

TBF to Col he had me down as 58, plus he as never seen a photo of me or met me. Personally i think Col is 36 going on 56.

32 coming up 33.

 

I'm a miserable cunt though and all my mates are older so that's a fair reflection I'd say.
