    Durham/ECB postpone ****-up in brewery citing organisational difficulties

    As anyone who has been following the sports news will be aware the Durham v Yorks 20:20 game was called off because their young spinner Azeem Rafiq was apparently ineligible (or according to Nasser Hussain, illegible - presumably this is because his doosra is unreadable). This is probably the...

    England ODI side

    Following on from the debate/dissection in the ODI thread, let's do the selectors' job for them, and pick an ODI side that can actually beat second-rate teams like New Zealand: Bell - really growing into the role as opener Mustard (wk) - what exactly did he do to be dropped? Pietersen - the...

  3. Do you back Tilson to find good replacements?

    Simple answer for me - yes, I do. We lost Freddy and got Barney. Lost Juppy and got Francis. Lost Maher and got Bailey and Macca. Lost Spinner and got Clarke. Lost Hammell and got Mulgrew. Poll added please mods?

    The Curse of Spurs

    The Forth Bridge in Scotland is a magnificent sight. A mile and a half long, it’s an immense, yet beautiful assembly of blood red steel bars and rivets carrying hundreds of trains a day over the wonderfully named Firth of Forth. It is said, usually by locals eager to fool a gullible traveller...

    week 5 FC

    got what should be a relatively easy game away to Rhobabians CC- weakish team with PFL problems. am hoping to bowl first, and am putting out a mixed team (resting the likes of Horsfield, J-Mac and Ahmed). also picked up a resp spinner yesterday for cover and hopeful skill-trading, his wage is...

    Garry Richards

    Yet another player who couldn't break into the Tilson clique. He has left at a time when what the squad needs is some big powerful players who can get at the opposition (something that was lacking against Barnsley). Everytime team that comes to Roots Hall seem to have more bigger players than...

    England in Sri Lanka

    First warm-up game today in Colombo. England have actually beaten their hosts to Sri Lanka, which is promising. They've also managed to beat me out there, as my flight isn't until Saturday. Sri Lanka were last night falling to a 2-0 defeat in convict land. Needing a world record 507 to win on...

    Useless Kitchen appliances

    To cut a long story short last thursday after debating what to have for our tea, I decided that we would have 'proper chips' rather than oven chips. The Missus agreed to this but pointed out that it was possible we didnt have a deep fat frier but if we had one it would be in the useless kitchen...

    My team!

    Ok, Ok, i'll admit it, i have been a little bit coy about my team over the past season or so, so i thought i would come clean as i need some advice about what to do next! First up, my WK who is (well, will be!) handy with the stick in his hand! Craig Browne - 18 yo, BT Rating=26,455 Stamina...

    Spencer Prior

    Spinner is appearing as a co-commentator and pundit on a show called Total Football on Fox Sports (the equivalent of Sky) in Australia. According to my sources he mentioned on there that he'd like to play for an Aussie club. However considering their A-League plays through the Oz summer I...

  13. An open letter to Southend United

    Dear SUFC, I am posting this open letter because whenever I have emailed the club over the years I have never received a reply. I am a season card holder with my young son in the West Stand and was appalled at the lack of segregation on offer at today's match with West Ham, and...

  14. Battrick Match 8 - The run-in begins

    1st week of the reverse fixtures, I bowled my oppo out for 181 to scrape a 13 run victory on the 1st day of the season. I was GFI that day, as I wanted to give myself the best possible chance of a winning start, but today I'm PAN. I've set the track to Dusty, as he only plays one, not...

    BT half-term reports

    Pettefershire CCC - Div VI.145 so, having predicted a lower mid-table finish, I'm rather happy to find myself sitting 2nd halfway through my first season- Whitewash (the team above me) are clearly a class above everyone else in the league, but I've beat the 3rd and 4th place teams quite...

    New DVD Idea

    Scriv just had a thought that could be a potential money spinner for the club how about a DVD of the career of Freddy at Southend like we have the Collymore dvd I for one would buy it!

  19. My Views on the ins/outs needed part 1

    After a season of many ups and many downs (more downs than ups!) it has been proved that we're simply not good enough to be at this level. There are some players that are good enough but there are also players that arnt good enough. These Are my views on the players from this season...

    Brilliant day. I don't care that we lost 4-1 (like it mattered), what made today was the support. I'm going to remember the Soton fans singing 'Going down' and us joining in to trump them, Spongebob, lobster, the conga, singing the great escape for the last 20 minutes, the tribute we shared to...
