    Anyone with small feet or a keen teenage son or daughter who would like a pair of very nearly new Slazenger cricket boots? They are size 8. Just has a Spring clean and found them, They were my sons when he was a colt and look like they have hardly been worn. Ideal back up pair.  
     Anyway they are free to whoever wants them, would be criminal to throw them away. They will be available to pick up from The Long Pond Pub from 11am tomorrow Saturday 20th April. First come, first served. Just ask at the bar. I'll post when they are gone.

    Hopefully one of those cameos is against the venerable Colfeians 4th XI!

    Our season starts on Saturday, which is a week earlier than most KCL/KRCL teams I think. We're up against @Addickted2TheReds and his Beckenham mob, and hopefully we're not anywhere near as useless as we were two years ago (in fact, I have my sneaking suspicions we won't be, as the side's definitely improved since).

    The games that year saw 88-run and 140-run defeats: in the former, a Kent youth scored 115, and in the latter... Well, we were 50 all out - having been 11-6.

    Are you therefore happy to drop down the order mate? Seeing as we have seven bowlers (meaning I probably won't turn my arm over unless we're out of ideas...)

    I'll bat at 11* if it means bowling!

    *10. We have Sohidul in our team

    Do any of you lot on here ever play at goddington park.
    It's walking distance from my house and I often watch a game over there.
    Just wondering if anyone on here plays there.

    Nah, but I do occasionally umpire next door at Orpington CC.

    Wishing an enjoyable season to all our CL cricketers, umpires, scorers and numerous volunteers that help behind the scenes. May it be a hot and long summer!

    Whoops. 

    1st change is slightly better than the opener!

    64-1 off 9.

    Taking an early tea due to the weather. Their opener is currently on 80-odd and on course to ton up. He seems a bit good for Div 13 cricket...

    Boots still available. Collection can be anonymous, no questions asked. Someone must want them.

    We got dicked. 122 run defeat, and we scored that many runs.

    Their opener batted very well and we... We're not that good and such is life. 

    At least we got more than zero points lol

    Can I just say that I’ve never been so cold playing cricket as:
    1. Last Saturday - especially when dragging the covers on (twice) during hailstorms 
    2. The previous Sunday - when I wore every item of clothing I had when fielding. It’s lucky I wasn’t called on to bowl as I looked like the Michelin man.
    3. Can’t remember the previous time. 
    Forecast for next weekend doesn’t fill me with joy either. This isn’t the quaint English idyll I signed up for.

    Bexley 2s game at the Vine off already. Boy is gutted. Especially as he has no excuse not to do more revision for his GCSEs starting Monday!

    There will be very little if any club cricket in SE London and Kent today.

    Bexley 1s game still on at the moment. Matt Cross and Calum MacLeod away on Scotland duty and Ollie Robinson and Adam Riley are not allowed to play because they are both in Kent's squad for the 4 day game - starting on Tuesday! But Adam Rouse is allowed to play for the Vine because he isn't.

    If the rain does relent then some of you might be treated to the excellent sight of me trying to play cricket with a sprained ankle. On the plus side it means Paddy's getting a gun slip fielder for 30 overs (I intend to bowl my ten, off a sort of one-pace shuffle) ;)

    I hadn't realised that former Test cricketer Sean Ervine had turned pro golfer. Wel that's what he was doing 'til Minster CC had succeeded in enticing him out of retirement!
