What can you say !

2008

Firstly I'd like wish everyone good luck for the upcoming season and here is hoping that weather is a bit better than last years. How has everyone faired so far with the new bowling limitations I'd be interested to hear.
I do however have one early season gripe. We at Long Melford have had a terrible time trying to raise two sides for the opening weekend this season. Major injuries, university and poxy football left us short. I only had two half fit first XI bowlers on Saturday!! Anyone know a good physio!!
On Friday evening our 1st XI had 8 and the 2nds had just scraped 11, and through extra phone calls and texts of which I made almost 90 this week alone we managed to raise two full sides. The dismay as reports came to me from our 2nd XI who were vastly understrength that Abberton, when their 1st team fixture was cancelled, appeared to include First team players in their 2nd team in a Division 7 fixture. I thank those Abberton 2ndXI players who still came and supported their side although they were not playing, and although we had a heavy defeat a good day was had by all.
Surely in the spirit of cricket if your game is called off then those people who had made arrangements should still play rather than be dumped in favour of others. I would never do that unless our 2nd XI were short. I'd be interested in hearing other people’s comments on this.
Once again. Good luck and enjoy your cricket in 2008. _________________ This Crack is Moorish.....
