Anyone fancy a little bit of cricket to celebrate the up comming Ashes series, i know there are quite a few fellow cricketers on here so wonderd if anyone would be up for little game? would be great if we could get enough bodies for proper 20/20 game between ourselfs or challenge the nigels or owt. Im an overweight demon spin bowler and a brickwall of a batsman my record was 2 and a half hours to score 3.. if we could get some decent numbers maybe we could look into forming a club, i have played for about 4 different teams over the last 3 or so years and never felt at home like i would with fellow like minded piss poor cricketers who loved the addicks. Of course friends and siblings and children welcomed as the last club i played for we had 4 14 year olds in our line up. We could play in the south east or around the dartford Bexley area unless somone knew a ground we could use, i dont have any stumps but have a spare set of leg pads and a bat that can be shared around if no one has equipment. Anywhoo if no one is up for it thats cool but if there are any cricketers on here currently playing for a friendly league club give us a shout if you need a body to make up the numbers. Cheers all up the Addicks, Up the Spitfires and up the England!!!

Although as bowler I got 4 people out conceding 0 runs :)
Clearly some part of my brain is still stuck in the late 90s.
are you Flintoff ?
Mike Gatting???
It ended up hard to get players so it died a death.
I reckon your best bet might be Bank Holiday in August when people who play won't have a game. Kit won't be a problem.
A few names that used to play in those games: AFKA, Medders, Carling, Les_says, 1905, Steve Dowman, Riscardo.
“Can I just say it’s an absolute honour and privilege...” [Gatting starts to look bored] “... for me, as a long-time fan...” [Gatting tries to stifle a yawn] “...finally to meet ...” [Gatting’s eyes glaze over] “...someone...” [Gatting tries to keep awake] “...whose brother used to play for Charlton. How is Steve these days?” [Gatting visibly shocked, miffed and then bursts into laughter]
We then had a nice chat about Charlton and how Steve enjoyed his time there.
