seasonal updates

Right it's the end of the cricket season in the CCA Junior Leagues (almost).
Here is a list of a lot of the things that have happened this season and my takes on them.
1 - I scored a fifty for the first time in 3 seasons this year - not bad, but went in early due to losing wickets and couldn't get out of 3rd gear to help win the game.
2 - We got a lot of now players in the 3rd team this season. Dave (who I work with), Lukas, Rummen. Also got a few players back who had been playing not a lot of games. Also lost a few players as well. It's been nice to have new players, but I could do without the bitching about not having a bat.
3 - Parker's Piece, our home ground is playing quite well this season. Better than the last few years when it's been frankly a disgrace.
4 - We've been promoted with one game to go to the CCA Junior league first Division(the same league as our second team).
5 - Got one game to go versus Histon this weekend. Due to player call-ups and the fact that our 1st and 2nd teams don't want to give me any players we are a lot short of full strength in the championship decider match. Not too happy about this. In addition the 1st team who have been treating the rest of the club like crap all season have just had two drop-outs so obviously the 2nds have to give up two players abd so do the threes. grrrrrrr.
The upshot off it all is that the ones and twos have in between them shafted the entire club with their antics of picking players who they like rather than people in form, meaning that players from lower down the ladder don't want to play for the higher teams as you get picked for games then dropped the minute the captain's best mate is back in the team.


I am getting very tired of cricket.

Fabricio

Being a heterosexual man I am quite worried about how attached I am getting to Fabricio Collucini's legendary haircut - I love it.
here's hoping the newly-signed Newcastle United central defender turns out to be more Terry Butcher than Frank Butcher after putting on the Black & White.
after a full summer of being stressed every week the end of the cricket season is nigh. 3 games to go.top of the league.feeling stressed.want that championship shield.

come on.
