who do you umpire that posts here PB?

Idk, do I umpire someone from here? I've played against Jayman before, haven't umpired him because he doesn't play high enough

ah okay, thought Jay was saying you've umpired him before. thought ya might umpire a few of the FFers

Well If I have, they'd probably know since I'd be the only young umpire out there, so they better speak up :P

Cop that Jay :P

Keen for cricket lads!

flower that's rough, PB :P First full season of seniors coming up (only played 6 games last year as was still an U/17), you'll umpire me soon enough ;D

I'd like to take partial credit for PB's move into umpiring actually. Should hear about the time PB cost his team the game by dropping me ;)

never played junior cricket. played indoor for years and uncle asked me to play for his team when I was about 14/15, then asked if I wanted to play outdoor with him so went straight into "seniors" I guess you'd call it when I was 16. last game I played I was 18. grand final. last memory I have on a cricket field is looking back at the keeper as he caught me for 1 :(

have fun this season fellas 8)

Let's not bring that up

Nothing like a whole day in the field to get back into cricket season

So suddenly every spinner from with a subcontinent background is a chucker, only on the Doosra though...

Coach of the losing team today decided to have a 'chat' to myself about the idea that the spinner that destroyed his team clearly has a bent arm on his Doosra.

flower off I say (I didn't actually say this, I wanted to though)

[roo boys!]

Yeah like you two, had a bloody shocker of a day today. Onwards and upwards I guess

Decided to retire this year to focus on footy after my first training the other day i re-tweeked my adductor from last year.

I'm sticking to watching cricket on TV and playing Stick Cricket.

No more real life cricket for me.

tennis season, get into it mate.  :D

Gotta get involved in an Indoor league this season though.

first game of the season yesterday, made a solid 26 then smoked a lofted drive straight to the man on the boundary at long off!   >:(

Good start and a good win but it was a fine deck for batting so I probably missed out, considering our number 3 made 45 and two blokes made 70s as well.
