    And is it decided yet who that player is?

    Probably the one who smashed 70* off a near-first XI attack on Sunday, one would imagine

    The case of Satwinder Dhaliwal

    I see that this gentleman played for OCs 1st X1 for one game at the beginning of the 2016 season. This was after playing for Bromley in 2015 who he then went on to play for during the rest of the 2016 season. Quite what happened there perhaps our OC friends will be able to explain.

    In 2017 he played for Blackheath Wanderers but, for some reason I believe he was banned for six weeks at the beginning of this season. Anyway he played under an assumed name last week against Bexley, opening the batting and taking a 5 for, but he was spotted and as a result Bexley got the points and BW received minus 5 points - and will be relegated at the end of the season.

    Gosh. Is this true? That's awful from BW if so and they deserve punishment.

    The Play Cricket scorecard confirms the indiscretion:

    Investigated by KRCL Management Committee. Rule 17.20 Case closed, relevant parties notified. Brian Smith 11.05.18

    Rule 17:20 stated relegation is the punishment for such offences.

    It was a classic case though of the original name put on the scorecard being someone who had achieved 5 career wickets. The situation wasn't helped, by all accounts, by other players calling him by his real name!

    That's a ludicrously harsh penalty. Loss of game and points deduction completely fair.

    I disagree; it is blatant cheating, supported by the captain (and therefore club).

    17.20 A team discovered playing any player under an assumed name will be automatically relegated at the end of the season.

    Loss of game and points deduction isn't a deterrent as this is happening too often. This also wasn't a case of someone making up the numbers and if true that the guy was banned anyway the punishment is absolutely fit and proper.

    I have literally no idea who that bloke was. Punishment totally fair imo.

    I can certainly recall certain similar shenanigans (not at my instigation!) at a previous club of mine, usually when a player turned up without registering. I guess the penalty wasn't relegation back then though

    This was his only game for OCs in 2016:

    What I can't work out is how he was a Bromley player the season before and became a Bromley player again straight after this game.

    He can be transferred to another club before the end of May; we had a player join Chisles after RACS got relegated last year; he played two games and was dumped/mutual consent (as he was rubbish) and went off to play for Sidcup. Ended up taking 40-odd wickets for their 2's!

    My gosh what a car crash of a season that was. I probably could've been in the 1s opening the batting and not done much worse than our actual team that year.

    Still no idea what that was about. We've had an absolute revolving door of players in recent years! Only this season have things been slightly settled/consistent and carried on from last season.

    I remember one of our old captains struck a deal with a strong Sunday side called Kingfisher, and teamsheets in the week often read "KF1, KF2, KF3". No-one knew who they were. Madness.

    I am aware of that and it is the reason that intrigues me for OCs to sign him from Bromley and after one game he or they decide to leave OC's and transfer back to Bromley.

    @Addickted2TheReds - hope that you're in the Beckenham 2s again this week so we can renew acquaintances.

    Could well be mate, although was stumped third ball away to Lordswood in the only game I've played for them this season!! That said, I was picked last week - just didn't play because of the rain.

    Will find out towards the end of the week.

    Hope so though, be good to see you again.

    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.

    Just had a browse through the thread - this truly is the highlight of my cricketing career...

    Absolutely - there is nothing worse than arseholes who ruin a game like this, it is absolutely taking the piss.

    In our team here in Oz we had a guy who had played professionally but refused to bowl for our team as it would not be fair, he batted at five and was a decent batsman but nothing outrageous.

    I remember playing for the dear old RACS 3rd XI one Sunday afternoon and Hartley played a first team batsman against us and he tonked us all around the park until I bowled him with a chest high full toss that he ducked under and it hit the top of leg stump, he wasn't happy but our umpire strangely declined to call it a no-ball.....

    @Addick Addict

    I've been pretty unwell for the last few days.

    I was trying to get better for Saturday but frankly I'm getting worse so have told the skippers I can't to give them the best chance of re-balancing/finding a replacement.

    Unfortunate timing!

    Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon and that we're both there for the return at your place.

    I'd like to congratulate @AshBurton on his 69* (fnar fnar) in a partnership of 146, rescuing us from 62-4 and subsequently posting a total of 210-4!

    Good 70-odd run win.

    Bexley 2s made 296-9. Seb was run out off the last ball of the innings for 4 but managed to pick up the same number of victims behind the stumps in Beckenham's reply of 164 all out.

    In other news, here are the latest LBW regulations for club umpires:

    FIRST INNINGS

    1. Have we made a good start?

    2. If 1, was the ball hitting the stumps?

    3. If 2, is this at least the fifth appeal they've made?

    4. If 3, OUT. Otherwise, NOT OUT.

    SECOND INNINGS

    1. Did they give us an LBW earlier?

    2. Repeat steps 1-3

    3. NOT OUT

    You forgot the next stage which is if given out, the batter claims to have hit it.
