Woah woah woah hold the fuck up I ain't having my old man talk smack about a cricket team he's never watchedseth plum said:OCCC is just one school, Beckenham is a whole bunch of postcodes.
It is like Gibraltar playing France at football.
If OCCC get to double figures it will be amazing, and if they take one Beckenham wicket it will be a moral victory.6 -
The legend that is the Padster has been compared to a few players in his time, but I must admit Timo Best has never been one of them....Addickted2TheReds said:

Our wins have been achieved with at least one or two passengers in the side (or ten men, as against Natwest and Orpington), and touch wood we're seeing a few guys come back into the fold this week, so here's hoping for a good competitive match.
I need some bloody wickets though!
Seeing it okay this year other than when I get sweat in my eyes as the bowler is running in!!
Should be a good game and looking forward to the chatter in the field!

Banter aside, I'm a proud dad this week as Ash Junior scored his maiden 50 on Saturday while captaining his school U13 side to a magnificent win away at Bancroft's. The boys chased down a formidable target of 167 off 25 overs with relative ease after an opening partnership of 100.
He even claimed to have hit two sixes and the boundaries weren't even that close. His free-scoring batting is giving me some concern that we may not be related after all.10 -
This gets much, much funnier if you happen to know Mr AdolphePaddyP17 said:

Beckenham win the toss and bat.
40-0 from 3 overs...4 -
@PaddyP17 has no mercy with the opener and takes him off after 2 overs.
Himself and @AshBurton bringing the rate down. 62 off 7.
Ash had a reasonable LBW shout turned down...1 -

In fairness, they were only full tosses cos he kept moving forward to play that hoik! One was gonna be mistimed eventually...Addickted2TheReds said:@PaddyP17 with the breakthrough!

Probably the best I've bowled all season, sadly the entire spell was bowled at Joe Root Junior ffs5
-
Switching to legspin after seven overs and ripping one past the edge of a future Test cricketer was a pretty flair move though3

Yeah, @Addickted2TheReds and his lot dicked on us. But we got closer than any other team this year. Shame they're so strong I suppose!0

I've been sledged a fair bit in my time, but had never faced the Charlton Life themed variety before Saturday.
Faced with an obdurate OCs opening partnership in reply to the absurd target of 255, @Addickted2TheReds unleashed a war cry of "We want him OUT - NOW! - just like ROLAND!"
Following yet more obdurate defence from yours truly, Joe then informed me, loudly, that I was "the Simon Church of batting".
Incensed by this slur, I sponge-batted the next ball very fiercely to cover point for no run, merely serving to prove his point.11 -
I don't understand how Beckenham lost any wickets at all, or how OC got above three figures.. Moral victory it seems to me, like the Corbyn v May tussle.
Leuth will be Prime Minister before Christmas at this rate.3 -
The lad that scored a ton in the OCCC v Beckenham game is interesting purely for the fact that, not only has he been on the opposite side to Seb at both school and club level but also at county too as he plays for Surrey - when he should really be playing for Kent!
He plays for Beckenham as we know, lives and was born in the area and goes to school at St Olaves in Orpington - so he actually fails on every criteria that would allow him to play for Surrey. From a conversation that I had with his dad, however, it appears that, having failed to get into Kent an under 10, he was spotted by Surrey at 11 (I believe that it was at the Oval playing on the outfield during an interval but I might be wrong on that count) and they had to ask Kent for permission to trial and play him - which Kent duly gave.
So, he should really be playing for Kent and whilst his dad did suggest to me that he would prefer him to be doing so it appears that the lad does want to stay at Surrey.
The two boys played against each other at the Oval two years ago and might do again on Sunday 13th August at the County Ground Beckenham - but as Seb is currently struggling to get back, following his injury, into a winning Kent side that might, somewhat disappointingly, not happen.1 -

Interesting stuff - I did wonder what a Beckenham lad was doing playing for Surrey, other than maybe family influences or poor taste (sorry @cantersaddick). Although we did bowl some absolute dross (in particular the first 3 overs!), you still have to put it away and he did so very clinically. Impressive temperament and seemed a nice lad as well (all the more so because he didn't get many of his runs off me).Addick Addict said:The lad that scored a ton in the OCCC v Beckenham game is interesting purely for the fact that, not only has he been on the opposite side to Seb at both school and club level but also at county too as he plays for Surrey - when he should really be playing for Kent!
