    FC - Week 5

    Gatley v ShrimperZone CC We're on a ghastly mid season run, much like last year. 6 defeats in our last 8 competitive games. One of those two wins was against Gatley though and if we can see off their NZ all rounder we should have a chance of getting a result. Fitness isn't great after a FI...

    OD - Week 5

    Stumpys v ShrimperZone CC 5th v 3rd, evenly matched but we've had to rest HHH who's stuck at fresh fitness after the extended toil against Parkway. Probably makes them favourites, though I don't know what their fitness is like. A low scoring game in prospect given the pitch and weather so...
  3. FC - Match 4

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Poppadom CC Bowlers are all knackered and rest before Friday's big game, but bats are fine, so draw is the best we can hope for. Lots of leather chasing today, although somehow we've managed to take a wicket :happy: We can tell you that Poppadom CC won the toss and elected to...
  4. OD - Week 4

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Park Avenue CC We take in the side in 6th today, the 1st of a run of 4 consecutive Home games, which should boost the coffers nicely. Full-strength side out, but PFL's are starting to bite, we need to get another bowler in sharpish... Lost Fitz early again, he's now scored...

    FC - Match 1

    Here we go again. Angband Town v ShrimperZone CC 08/02/2011 at Angband Town Angband Town 361-5 ShrimperZone CC 110-10 & 186-10 01/02/2011 at ShrimperZone CC ShrimperZone CC 175-10 & 212-10 Angband Town 337-10 & 51-1 Threw both games last season whilst concentrating on OD which nearly...
  6. Pancake day

    Ceiling cat is watching you toss... (b3ta) For some reason I can't make a poll. but what do you like on your pancakes? I like lemon juice and orange juice and some sugar. Mrs Pubey likes canned cherries with some ice cream.

    FC - Match 8

    Gatley v ShrimperZone CC Defeat will mean relegation, lost the vital toss (bowling conditions today, batting Thursday) and his monster is wreaking havoc already. A big test of our newly strengthened batting line up. End of Over 7 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 15-1, runrate=2.14 Overs left...
  8. OD - Match 10

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v the_yak_pack BOT-bashing today, so rested a couple and set everyone to V. Attacking. We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this sunny day. We've dropped...

    FC - Match 7

    Me 5th at home to top. I don't hold out too much hope so it is all about bonus points and keeping in touch with 4th. I'm 15 points behind but have both 4th and 6th to play. On my dusty I've gone for 5 bowlers including 2 all rounders. Toss isn't going to make much difference but have elected...

    FC - Match 6

    Away to 3rd in a reverse of last weeks fixture where only the ME saw me failing to win. This time around I'm on a green track and I suspect their bowlers will exploit it. I have plenty of seamers but not in the same class. Toss could be vital here. I need to bat first to have any chance. PFL...

    OD - Week 6

    1st v 2nd, two unbeaten records on the line. A rare GFI for us. Hoping to strangle them to a loooow total. Drop Catch v ShrimperZone CC We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out...

  13. Question If you were Ron Martin, what would you do now?

    If I was RM now (apart from visiting Dignitas) I would bring an ex blues legend back as a Number 2, and lay my cards on the table, the whole lot, I would make PS play the old southend boys (crawford etc) rather than get in any more crappy loan signings or tell us why they are not being played...
  14. OD Season 18, match 1

    ends of the earth v BATTY SHRIMPERS Probably one of the tougher games I'll have in OD this season. He finished 3rd last season, against my 4th. The games were split between us last year, so could go either way. We're at full-strength on a GFI as we have a straightforward game in the Cup. We...

    FC - Match 5

    Gatley v ShrimperZone CC Two matches in a row against Gatley, lovely. In Lancashire it's PC&H today and sunny the next two days. Fingers crossed we can actually win the toss for once as Sandy's calling has been awful lately. Had considered resting all 5 of my bowlers and trying to bat out...

    BARNET in the Cup a Day to remember!

    Barnet tomorrow night but my Dad, Grandad and Uncle drove to Barnet in 1946 and here's the full story of that match, same again tomorrow? Southend United were drawn away in the second round of the F.A.Cup and are due to visit Barnet the holders of the F.A. Amateur Cup. Their ground capacity is...

    OD - Week 5

    ShrimperZone CC v nicks Xl Rested Benji and Richie, hoping we'll have enough anyway. We can tell you that nicks Xl won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy day. End of Over 3: 26-0...
  18. BT20, games 1,2+3

    BT20 starts today, and after a delay in getting the commentary, it looks like we'll have 2 close games in the BB household.... Los Galactico v BATTY SHRIMPERS BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. Pitch: Dusty End of Over 4: 28-0, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=8.69 (166-4) Verma...

    FC Match 2

    First true test away on a cracked pitch to a team with slightly weaker bowling ratings but stronger batting. Have gone with four bowlers and should post my strongest ever batting ratings but will it be enough. Three all rounders selected but only two of them bowling with an option to change for...
  20. OD - Match 1

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Hubbards Hills CC Home to the side that finished 4th last season. FC BOT-bashed this week, so full-strength side out on a GFI. We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I...
