I'd Hit It v The Strikers 10.00pm 17/09/08

Well, the once great I'd Hit It indoor cricket team returned last night. Despite a solid effort with the bat, our bowling and fielding were very rusty and cost us the game.

Was great to be out there once again though, although my shoulder is rather sore this morning.

Also, my housemate Harry is keen to play whenever we need an extra person which should prove handy. He hasn't played indoor before but has played outdoor cricket all through high school.

i'm dead keen to get back into the swing of things too once my knee is all good.

should only be a couple of months away hopefully.

god i've missed not playing indoor the last 2 years.

 Def feeling it today!

 That was fun though even though we lost with a mammoth total. IMO we batted way better than they did, better control and shot selection. We just bowled and fielded, well like we haven't played for 6 months really.

 Add Morgs and possibly Rob to that line up and it's lookin pretty good. We will thump those guys.

 Josh is did I hear that Louie is coming home soon? he would be a great addition.

 We should try and stick round for a beer as well I reckon

 

nice, will have to pop down

 7.30 tonight!

 Whos ready

i wish *prays for knee to heal quicker*

So keen for tonight!!  Still sore from last week though.

 I was sore until the weekend.

 Now I am sore from b-ball last night

I've just got feeling back in my legs. Time to fuck them over again.

 booyah!

 Sensational effort with only 7 players! Will post up scores after tea.

 Weez's mate very handy, slot Josh and Morgs back in and we will be pretty good against that league I reckon.

Do u guys play at Stepney?

 Yeah at Stepney mate!

 Cant find the scoresheet, Del must of grabbed it. Scores later!

 Ah damn forgot to post last weeks scores , oh well.

 Looking forward to tonight, still haven't got our first choice team I think Delta is away. Del said something about Macca's friend playing again so hopefully we will have 8.

 Ryan is in ( Weez's workmate)

 Morgs is apparently back too.

 Josh you in?

 Bring it 

 

What time are we on tonight?

I'm in if we need me.

my mate got called in to do earlies last minute so he cant play its on too late

 8.45 is too late?

i start work at 430am, might pop down for the first innings

 Once again!

 Great effort with 6 players!

 Special mention to the HMAS Fechner for the outsanding effort of five silky smooth catches and a middle stump run out from side on!

 Also Macca and Weez's batting under pressure.

 The juggernaut rolls on to 2-1.

 

We we're on fire with the ball tonight. Sensational effort with only 6 players.

 No shit.

 Can't wait to field a full team, we are gonna be very hard to beat from what I have seen in that league so far. 

and i learn to run between wickets properly 



big up macca for bringing it home with me 

 Raaaar.

 Only had 6 again. Big up Blake for filling in, you did well mate.

 I think we have found our nemesis team, what a bunch of fuckheads.

 Ended up going down 139-99. Same story, with a full team we could take them.

 One day we will have 8 

 

soon enough guys.

on the home stretch now.

Spewing I couldnt make it.

This xmas concert dragged on and on and on. Nearly fell asleep during it.

Hey Guys wont be back in time to play Wednesday night as will be still in Roxby.

I'm definitely in.

 Lets do it!

 

 What time is tonight anyone know?

 blah blah same story.

 We should own that team, we have much more skill. We played fairly bad last night.

 Really need to field 8 one of these days.

 Big up Blake once again for stepping in, you did well mate.

yea, seems to be the same story when we lose - poor bowling/fielding.

we keep posting decent totals - anything over a 100 is defendable but i reckon 120 (or 30 a pair) should be the standard. last night we shoulda had a much higher score but we lost too many wickets. we let too many runs happen in the field too.

good effort from blake, but we may break him if he keeps having to bowl or bat twice 


the team each week atm is:
macca
shannon
drew
simon
josh
morgs
me

at the moment we have ryan, woz, rob, harry and blake all interested to fill in but need to fill that 8th spot first really.

blake - keen to have you out every week if you want.

luke wont be back for a month yet josh?


on another note, macca mentioned that he may be able to get a bunch of Rane shirts for us to wear. we might actually look the part all wearing the same shirt.

Oh my god I only JUST realised the double joke of the name of your team.

LOL

 

 The funniest thing is, we started the team in January 2004.

 Under 4 years Hayley, not bad.

 And, all those other guys say they are keen, but when we ask them they can't play? Maybe we need to give more notice.

 Perhaps we need everyone to post in here every week on monday saying they are right to play.



 

from memory - think it was tim that came up with it

 It was Rob Frost I reckon

i'd love to be able to read those old threads

When are we back on again?

back on at 7:30 next week (9/1/08)

stepney ICA has its own website now, complete with upcoming game times...
http://www.icastepney.com.au/dnn4/

i'd fill in for you guys if you needed a player but i would need at least 4 or so hours notice.

cheers mate, will keep it in mind.
think we're alright this week though - wont know where to place everyone with 8 people out there!

My brother is back now and keen to start playing. He's up for this week if we need him.

be back in two months i believe.

god i've missed this.

blake's on board this week. even replied to my message fairly quickly, so he must be keen! with no one else out, we have 8 for only the second time this season - but good news that louie's back. woulda had him in straight away otherwise.

dont suppose his mobile phone number the same?

tell him to come down anyway and we'll have a beer after the game.

Nah, he has a new number.

I'll see if he's keen to come down and say hello.

 As if we will have 8.

 Louie on standby 

josh - 7.30 tonight (scroll down)

got a message from morgs earlier asking the time too - despite me messaging you guys last week. sort it out 

given todays; weather im happy for louie to play lol

 

 Blake is invoking the 30 degrees rule I see

 Well that was shit

yea, pretty poor performance by us - losing to 6 with 8 players despite how good they were is underperforming by a long way.

really should have made 150 easily.

game time is 8.45 this week against "The Firm!"

spanks, can you update the header of the thread to include the time?

josh, can you check whether louie is ready for his return?

Luke is in.

Gonna be close to our full team for the first time in forever.

 We are getting there! I want everyone on their toes in the field tonight.

 Got flogged at ball last night, dont wanna lose again!

sounding like a captain there spanks? well you are on the team sheet!

actually i was talking about sharing it round - its all yours tonight mate.

 
 Awesome

aye aye cap'n

why do i get the feeling i may have just provided a new role play for you guys.... 

yarrrrr! cant wait to play the busty wench

 Oh.......yeah.... ummm I guess that makes more sense  *takes off corset*

 

 
 Captain Courageous steered the ship home last night 

 They were pretty shithouse tho. In saying that, we still played pretty damn decently.

 Well done.

thanks fuhrer... uh... skip 

 Zig Heil!

 Who's ready?

 Game is at 7.30.

 
 

Can't play tonight kids. Birthday dinner with a pretty girl and her goofy fiance has my attention this evening.

Will let Luke know what time the game is though.

 No worries Sally Robbins

love the house of chow!

What time tonight?

 I think 8.45.

 Yup it's 8.45.

 Can anyone not play?

 AFAIK everyone is in.

Going to have to give tomorrow night a miss.  Burnt my fingers on the weekend and they are all blistered up.  Bought a new BBQ and the first thing I cooked on it was my fingers!! 

Just a reminder that I can't play this week.

Same. Have night kindy with Bailey so I'm also out.

 Hmmmm.

 Would this be a bad time to say I dunno if I will make it back from Flinders in time

 

 Guess I will have to

got a physio appointment next week guys. if he gives me the all clear (or close enough) i'm dead keen to fill in/play again.

reckon this is the thing i've missed the most since becoming crippled.

 4 in a row, in a row.

 Well done guys.

 Gutsed out a win against the 2nd team.

 

That was probably the most enjoyable game of indoor I've played. Really good competetion yet we battled it out till the end to score a win I didn't think we could get.

Awesome fielding performance by everyone.

 Totally agree. Best win ever. Last 4 weeks is the best we have ever played.

 Loved giving it to them, especially loved taking the catch to get out that fuckhead with dreads that carries on like a turkey.

 Boh

It was good to play a team who actually all take it seriously as well. Not just a few good players and the rest fill ins who don't seem to give a fuck.

Knowing we worked hard to earn the win is a lot more satisfying then thrashing a bunch of guys who don't care.

nice work guys.

saw my physio yesterday.

said i'll be right to play in 4 weeks. keep in touch if you need.

Agreed!! Definately the most satisfying game I have played in since we have started.  Pressure right through till the end.  I think a beer after the game is over due too.

 Gonna be hot tonight!

Can't wait. Loving indoor cricket more than ever atm!

I reckon we should have a beer afterwards this week. About time we started doing that I reckon.

 5 in a row in a row!

 Satisfying to beat a bunch of whingers this week too.

 Woop.

 

Don't forget to add that we won a semi-final tonight and next week play the big one.

Hopefully it will be another grand final win for I'd Hit It.

NICE!!!

well done on making the final! good luck!

stickied the topic for ya... hopefully you can get a couple of extra supporters down to cheer you on!

i'll be there next week guys. good luck!

 Still trying to work out what umpiring decisions those guys were upset at

 Maybe one run out?

 Anyways, believe it is 6.15 for our next game.

 

actually. i'll try my best. (just noticed the start time)

where is it? Can't be bothered reading through the thread 

stepney ica, 1 stepney st, stepney

Stepney Stepney Stepney. Got it.

 Hank: Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut,
       that's on third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
 Hank: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got
       Put-Your-Butt-There?
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
 Hank: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact,
       they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on
       third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district.
 Hank: That's right.

The game is definately at 6:15pm right?? 

good luck guys!

 Six games in a row plus premiers! 

 Nice one guys!

 

good news! congrats guys!

Well done. Must be proud!

 We are playing really well at the moment it's great.
 

 

Could almost be time to have a crack at the Systo boys again.

nice work lads. great to see you doing so well.

 Let's see if we can make it 7 in a row tonight

 :cricket smiley:

 Booyah that's 7!

 Unbelievable fielding tonight from everyone.

nice work!

 7.30 tonight.

 Players please be on time Del got a stern talking to last week.

 The run comes to end at 7 in a row.

 Lost in the last over pretty much. Plus we only had 7 players.

 Delta mate whats the score? Could have used you tonight

Ahh!! Shit sorry boys didn't know we were back.  Not sure how much I will be able to play this season cause of study commitments and work but I can evaluate each week and let you know early in the week. 

 Yeah thought it wasn't like you to let us know.
 
 Let us know when you can play, we might need to source another couple of players by the looks.

 

Chris should be able to play in a few weeks which should help. Also, any news on Danny Mac and if he is able to play again?

That said, we also have Phil available usually and Ryan is a more than handy fill in. His fielding last night was awesome.

Count me out for tomorrow night guys.  Sorry boys.

Harry is keen to play if we need one more. Let me know if we need him.

 I have a feeling we do need him. Put him on standby maybe.

 
 

Taken to school tonight!

Dismal.

yeah could have used the squash ball in the last few overs tho.

that keeper was awesome.

They definitely proved that pase bowling really doesn't amount for shit in indoor. It's all about swinging the ball. And fuck me, those cunts knew how to swing a ball.

And having an ex-state wicky who could throw down the stumps at will within .000001 seconds of catching it helped as well.

def agree with u there, in our game last night at woodlands i had to face a bloke who could swing it from side to side each way.. would easy prefer tait-like speed over that.

we got done again, at least we didn't get mauled this time.

wow. there is a first for everything.

just re-joined up at the gym to get my knee right. will be back in business in 3 weeks. if i'm required at all, let me know guys.

Bla... not the best effort last night..

I reckon we just let them get away a bit in the field and there was zero atmosphere.. Not much talk. Wickets just didn't come for us even though we made a lot of half chances.. Spanky and Josh are owning the offside front court there!

Granted they did bowl well, but to be beaten by 6 players is pretty average. Essentially only 4 good players of that 6. The hit the stumps with alarming frequency, which just killed us.

yeah i kind of sucks when your the only twa teams out there and theres no yelling from the other court.

i have played indoor against a few freaky spinners too, they really mixed it up which made it very hard to play. i haven't faced much spin at all in my cricket days.

Looks like I will be out for at least the next 3 weeks. 

i am heading to my physio in 2 weeks for a look to see if i can play guys.

*crosses fingers*

What time are we playing tonight?

 
 7.30 I think

 google stepney ICA. game times are on there

 8.45 tonight against Play The Tape

i'm available in two weeks. keep me posted if you are short on numbers guys.

missed you.

 We are short every week

will be easy to slot back in then.

What time are we playing tonight?

ten mate. just changed it.

Remembered they have times online so just found out.

Friggen 10!!!!!! Better than 6 I guess.

not for me so much. i don't care playing early. late sucks arse for us 9-5 folk.

 Bye this week.

 Every keen to carry?

sensational. have a cold and can't be bothered anyway.

rob is keen to play he was saying the other week if we ever need him. thoughts?

 Hes been saying that for ages and every time we have asked him he has said he cant play!

 My ankle is STILL pretty fucked. Wouldn't have been right this week, maybe next week

no doubt. had no idea about that.

can only try though i guess. having 8 is handy...


you must have destroyed your ankle mate! must be fun wandering around flinders with it.

6:15 tonight and we should have a full team!

I'm keen as to get my groove on as newly (self) appointed captain... be nice to chalk up a win!

Team is as follows

Spanky
Chris
Josh
Drew
Ryan
Phil
Morgan
Luke

Nice. Keen as for a bit of cricket tonight.

news just to hand.. spanky may still have the fear!

why do we have the bye?

i was just told we have a 6:15 game still tonight???

from the ICA.

Last week:


Today:


i think they bye was last week and someone hasnt updated the thread title yet.

thanks mate. just called morgs who confirmed what you just said.

Fancy a game Khem? Sounds like you might be more on the ball than our mate Chris!

 

I don't think I can make it to tonight's game on time, maybe another time...

Well that went well

Yeah, I think we just forget about that one.

annd we forget bout that one too...

This Captain Morgan business is a joke! Fingers crossed for a full team next week and would really like to get back to our winning ways!

We just can't keep playing with less than a full team in this division.

Big ups Spanky for conquering the fear though.

Hmm well that's part of it for sure, but really having 7 players makes probably max 50 runs difference in the field..

Not 150... Have to look at our batting so we have something defendable to bowl to.

maybe we just pretend we are defending 120 

 I reckon we declare next week after 15 overs.

 Play some mind games.

Haha yeah fair call weez.. but it is good to go out there with some kind of psychological total to defend..

Yep I reckon Spanky has it.. declare mid innings..
May work better if we bat second... shit them right up

Will make sure to have 8 next week and we can give it a good bash. Not sure about being in Div 1 and whether we can ask to head down to div 2 for a while. Not sure if there is a difference in standard though..

Team tonight so far

Luke
Phil
Ryan
Josh
Weez
Me
Chris

Possibly Josh or Luke's mates?

Spanky out due to having the fear

why isn't spanky playing?

we seriously need to field 8 out there otherwise we've got no chance.

Spanky has study to do.

I've messaged Kip to see if he'll play

and Luke, Josh and Drew for possible fill ins.. Anyone?

i'll message nicko.

no luck with nicko. keen next week though for sure he said.

Well we ended up not doing too bad considering we had 6 to their 8..

Drew and Phil really the pick of the batting pair and says to me that perhaps we should curb just trying to hit 7's all the time (myself included)

It's fun to smash it, but I reckon with the odd sensible 2 thrown in we can do a lot better batting wise..

Fielding was sensational especially Josh in the front and Drew with a couple of stumpings off Luke..

Special mention to Chris who's running between wickets and particularly his calling was exceptional. Bitter much? Me never... :p

fuck you

Well looks like we have a full team tonight at 8:45 for those of you who didn't know

Captain Morgan
Chris
Simon
Drew
Ryan
Phil
Josh
Luke

I have no idea what it will be like to have 8 players on the field... but I'm sure we will manage! 

 Was he a bushranger or a pirate?

It looks like we have a full team but I'm afraid I have bad news.

Not only do I have the kids but I'm also moving house atm and have to have it all finished for final inspection tomorrow so I won't be able to play.

Sorry.

 

 Figures. What about Nicko?

i'll message him now.

edit: just heard back. we now have a full team to play. nicko is keen.

Wicked! Thanks Chris!

Oh and Spanky I think you will find that captian morgan was a Rum

image not archived: images

Game on at 10pm this week

Will send out messages later today.. We will be playing a teams from both divisions for a few games and hopefully we get placed in the lower div this time so we can chalk up some wins.

Note: I put our team rego on my Credit Card last week, so if everyone could bring an extra 10 that would be great. Fees are just over $60 but I figure it's a bit unfair to get guys like Ryan to pay rego fees.

Assuming team thus far

Chris
Morgan
Luke
Josh
Drew
Simon
Phil
Ryan

will have the cash with me.

looking forward to hopefully putting a win on the board. we are in div 3 now aren't we?

There are mixed divisions at the start of this season to "grade" teams.. So I'm assuming we will be bumped down to Div 3 at the end of the grading games.

 Fire up!

 10pm sucks but I have tomorrow off anyway

 

I'm ready to go. Bout time we had a win.

keen!

got plenty of 20c pieces for skittles too.

 Phil is in

Same. That will probably be my dinner.

Ryan out as he is on earlies.. Chris can you contact Nicko?

i can try. doubtful he'll be keen that late though with such short notice.

no go unfortunately. his wrist is still fucked.

thanks lell.

Cricket now 8:45 or no game.

Let me know ASAP if you are all good.. Can someone let Phil know too.

Cheers

Holy shit. WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WON?!?!  congratulations boys!   

been a long time coming!!!

was it because of that rainbow of fruit flavour?

nah, the skittles machine was broken. shattered me.

had to suffice with fruit flavoured mentos instead.

ah well, they're not too bad!

they did the trick. had 3 packets.

And probably batted the worst you have since starting again.

On the other hand, no skittles helped my bowling big time. No sticky candy on my hands obviously did the trick.

i had a shocker with the bat didn't i?

Sure did Del.

die.

it's cos i didn't have my contacts in!!!

 
 
 That was fun. Nice work guys.

Good to win again..

I can stop the therapy sessions now

Sorry for Double Post..

Game on this week at 8:45pm..

Assuming full team again

Luke
Morgan (nathan adcock)
Drew
Simon
Josh
Phil
Ryan (?)
Chris (aka. Del)

fixed

 

fuckers!

ill get ryan tomorrow. im in doubt morgs, i played footy on saturday and copped one in the ribs. can hardly lift my arms or take deep breaths

Doesn't LD have some tiger testicles or whale penis or some other Chinese medicine to fix you up?

Yes, it's called Harden The Fuck Up!

 

 Great with Soy Sauce!

I love it... Drew you will be fine, we need you man!

well i haven't heard from nick at all....


who do we actually have?

aiii well nicko can't play.

if drew can't and we only have six, can we forfeit? six is shit...

Well I still had fun even though we only had 6...

Josh and Spanky carved it up with 41 and 28 respectively in the first pair!


Team next week for 10pm yes?

Morgan
Josh
Drew
Spanky
Chris
Phil

Out

Luke
Ryan (the fear. can you talk to him drew see if he'll come back for another couple of games)

Fill ins?

Nicko (chris to contact)
Macca (does anyone have his number)
Del (Shannon, does anyone have a contact for him)
Woz
Anyone else..

ryan can't play late games because he has early starts i'm pretty sure.

sucks. we need to have 8 that will play every week no matter what.

i'll ask nick now.


it was still fun with 6 players, but still sucks balls. really difficult to keep a team's score down when there are easy 2's and 3's every ball.

Hey guys I am just about done with my study now so I can start to play depending on work and if I am here so let me know any time.

sensational mate. would be good to have you back.

Hey Shannon.. yeah would be great to have you back mate!

nick can't play for a couple of weeks he thinks because his wrist is fucked.


he was dead keen to play full time though he was saying on saturday night. he said he'd have a chat to me about it once his wrist was all good.

sooooooo, we are playing at ten.

if we have six i am going to be rather annoyed.

 10?

 How crap. It will be freezing. Dont think Weez is playing, I told him to message Morgs and let him know last night but I doubt he did

 

thinking we have a forfeit then???

no way i am playing at ten with 5 regulars.


this is getting a bit ridiculous. how hard is it to get 8 regular players each week? seriously.

Hey Guys

If weez plays we have 7, one of my mates Alex can play...

Tried Kip, Shannon, Nicko, Macca

We just need to hang in there until Nick and Del are back and there you go we have 8

yeah true.

think it's getting to me most because i haven't been a part of a full team yet. i've been back playing for about 9-10 weeks.

Fuck 10pm for a joke. Means I won't get back to the BV till nearly one in the morning.

If we don't have a full team tonight I would rather not play.

 Same.

 Trudging out in the freezing at 10pm with 6 is bullshit. I am 99% sure Weez isn't playing, I knew he wouldnt message haha.

 Would love Nicko and Delsa back, two handy players and good blokes as well.

 

 

The more I think about it I don't want to play at 10.

Have to finish 7 jobs by tomorrow morning and as I'm spending the evening with the kids, getting home so late will just make these deadlines near impossible.

 I think we really need to take the hassle off of Morgs to be honest. We should be able to organise ourselves.

 We should nominate a standard 8 (!!!), with everyone agreeing that they are playing every week by default, and then if they can't play they organise to contact a fill in or let Morgs know.

 Surely that wouldnt be hard. There is a website to give game times. (google Stepney ICA)

 Simon
 Drew
 Luke
 Josh
 Morgs
 Chris
 Phil
 
 & either

 Nick
 Delsa

 No offence to Ryan but someone who cant commit to playing all, or even the majority of the games shouldnt be in the 'first' 8, cos it just makes head fucks when he cant.
 

 

 

I've had a think and I need the exercise so I will play. But if we have 6 I don't want to play. I just can't be fucked with that many players.

7 is still shit but at least we can still be competitive.

Thanks spanky!

If Josh is out then we don't have a team. Can you let me know ASAP.

Cheers

I'll play but only if we have at least 7. That's all.

 It's beyond a joke really, it's no-ones fault I know but I can only remember one time with 8 players lol

Every indoor cricket team I've played in turns out like this, short on numbers with trouble finding fill-ins. Do they have super sixes at Stepney, only 6 a side and you play for a six-pack of beer.

I'm about to leave the computer for the day.

Can someone message me when we know if we have the numbers or not?

We are still on, though reading the program we are playing 8:45 not 10???? Sorry guys I misread that!

We have 6 possibly 7 hope everyone is good for this?

i would fucking love to play, used to play shit loads of indoor. i have either bowls or poker on a wed night though...

We have 7 with the addition of Dan Macca.. just waiting on a couple of my other mates who might make the 8.

Blake might be keen?

 Awesome.

that's my position on the matter as well. he's a great bloke, but we are a team. it's unfortunate for him, but at the same time, i'm sure he really won't give a rats arse about it in the long run. he wasn't there last week either.


agree too, it shouldn't all be on one person.

i can play every game. as can 5 others. if nick was serious about playing full time (will have to check his blood-alcohol reading when i get home) and del is going to come back, problem is solved.

if not, we really need another 2 players who can be there every week.

 I think Ryan has kinda bailed anyway cos he wasnt enjoying it. Fair enough.

 Its frustrating cos we have the foundation of players to be a decent team.

indeed. when we're on, we're bloody good.


wasn't enjoying it? guess it comes with the territory of being he lankiest guy alive. not built for sport, that's for sure.

so are we on tonight guys?  I can play.

 Yeah we are on at 8.45, just checkin if we need ya man but I reckon we will.

  Edit. yup we need ya.

Good I am in then.

div 3 - it's on the way yeahhhhh

could have been worse last night. we were playing the best team just about. piers's team got carted for 238 on the court next to us.

Fielding with 8 is the bomb! I was a bit confused at first as to where to put everyone. I think overall we bowled and fielded well enough to beat any side in Div 3 but their fielding against our undisciplined batting was the clincher.

It's all very well trying to hit 7's every ball but 35 is pretty piss poor, even if they were gun fielders...

Welcome back Macca, Del and welcome to Alex who is keen to play every week.

A lot of positives, but the batting still needs some work. 7:30 next week check the following

http://www.icastepney.com.au/dnn4/Default.aspx?tabid=63

Team

Morgan
Chris
Simon
Del
Drew
Josh
Luke
Phil

Fill ins if required

Alex
Macca
Nicko

 Rollll call.

 Simon
 Drew
 Phil

I'll be there to at least give us a chance of winning.

I will be there.

This doesn't make sense?? 

Left my phone at home today, so can someone message luke to confirm him..

Otherwise I'm assuming we're good with our regular 8 for the second week running!

i'm in.

8 twice in a row???

Unheard of, but bodes well. Only 8 more games of Cricket before I join previously departed Captain Del.. who will be next over the Pond.

I assume everyone is good for tonight as I've heard nothing

Bring it on!

indeed. what time is it tonight?

it's 8:45 tonight against the strikers.

still grading games.

I think this is game 4 or 5 of the grading, so we should be up against the lower div soon.

Now that's how you play indoor cricket mutha fuckas!!!!!

Best we have played in years. And for once, I reckon you could count the wides we bowled on one hand. Great game.

Geez, I leave and the team goes down to div 3?! Pick up the game lads.

 We have to rebuild after you ran us into the ground.

And rebuild we did..

Last night was fantastic

195 to 70

Pretty much everything went right with the batting and the bowling and fielding were great, heaps of wickets taken, catches, runouts and was it just me or did we get a lot bowled too!

Spanky and Josh - 54
Morgs and Phil - 68
Chris and Del - 35 ish
Drew and Lou - 38

Highlights for me were Mr Cricket Phil Hussey, Spanky and Josh owning the first pair, phil and I batting well and me seeing the ball like a melon.

Just have to follow it on next week. Everyone good to go again?

PS. Fuckers breaking into Del's car and stealing a laptop put a downer on things

Del should be pleased though that his spirit has lived on through Chris though.

 If we can maintain that side at least until Morgs goes we should do pretty well.

 

7 Games to go, so we should start trying to figure out who we can get as a permanent replacement

 

i was looking for other del sitting there fast asleep on the passenger seat 

 

 

10pm this week. Assuming everyone is in?

i'm almost positive i won't be playing this week guys. cut my finger up pretty badly cooking the other night.

I don't think I can play either. Watching the kids.

which event is it tonight?

i vote we forfeit. not real keen on getting slammed by the half buds at ten oclock without a full strength side.


were not really gonna get anything out of it.

 I agree. Cbf playing at 10 vs those guys. Its a joke.

 

You're all soft, I just like playing cricket regardless of the result.

Anyway I guess I'll ring up and forfeit

i would have played if i could. but i can't, so i won't.

i can't play in our basketball g/f tomorrow either because of it. shatters me.

Hey Guys, just rang to let them know that we are out for this week.

Bring an extra $10 next week to pay for the forfeit

Cheers

you guys made it to the GF? hehe na, well done.

maybe, but the feeling of making -5 and getting to bed at 1pm just isnt that inviting.

Fair call, though I'd still take the -5 over sitting at home :p

Edit: We are on for 8:45 this week, but they said we are still in Div 1. I'll have a chat to Daniel, as I know he said we'd be doing down to Numpty League..

Everyone in?
