Seems to be a few people who play cricket around here so post your club and grade.

I played seconds last season at Gosford but because of Saturday commitments and Mariners pushing their games forward to 6pm I will miss plenty of games.

So am playing one-dayers this season in sixth grade or one-day B grade.

Didn't play last week as I was in Adelaide so am looking forward to my first game this week. Adcock 7, so have to play on the ground with one boundary half way up a hill.

i'm not in for cricket for the start of the year with the summer hill thirsty eights (25 wickets at just over 9 ;D ), owing to travelling to europe and an ankle that's now swollen from (of all things) jogging about 50m for a train last night...

adcock 7 was my home ground from way back when grunta and i were the opening (batting) partnership in 11s or something for narara wyoming.

I was never a huge fan of cricket when I was younger and now I am an old fart.....

I'm still not. 

And before I get scathed for my opinion, yes I sucked at it... Several hours standing in the hot sun to occasionally chase a ball, then a few minutes spent as batter was not my cup of tea......

Silly game....
