*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Anna]

I could possibly do the 5th....Bath v Gloucs is now on the friday night, but If I go out in Bath after, then that may be a completely different story

 

[Matteh]

Hakhuna Matata - it means relax in Swahili I'd be up for a big meet if ever I found myself in NZ, but thats a loooong way away..

The only cricket players of note are Kev (Goughy) and possibly Tarick.. I used to be alright but have no idea now

Who's taken BUSA match wickets in the last year and whose bowling average is under 20 in said BUSA matches?

 

[Anna]

Who did you play last season?

 

[Matteh]

It's pretty damn difficult to get from Oxford to Birmingham without the M40 being involved.

You say that but...take the A-mshmsd from Oxford-Woodstock-Chipping Norton-Shipston then into Stratford, then take the A-dg;a through Henley to the M42 junction outside Hockley Heath. Along the M42 for 1 maybe 2 junctions, then straight up to Edgbaston.

Easy. Imagine it's shorter, but have my doubts as to whether or not it's quicker.

 

[Matteh]

Who did you play last season?

Manchester Met - Lost
Liverpool - Won
Manchester Proper - Abandoned
Huddersfield/Salford - Didn't happen due to exam clashes.

That win was Bangor's first in 3 seasons i'm led to believe.

 

[Anna]

Manchester proper would've been messy

 

[Matteh]

We were all out for 120 or something. At which point a massive black cloud the size of Northern England appeared, so we wasted a load of time in the field dropping the ball and re-shining, then about the 8th over the rain got bad enough to go off. They need 90 something to win with 9 wickets to go.
They offered us a ten over shootout where we got the win if they didn't get the 90, which our captain was going to do but it became brutally obvious the subcontinental guys who had only come over to the UK with basic trainers couldn't actually stand upright on the soaked pitch so it got abandoned.

 

[Smudge]

Well you know what I'm like, you've seen 2 videos of me.

Two minutes of my life I'll never get back.

 

[Richard]

Good, you don't deserve it back.

 

[GIMH]

Can't you two just not respond to one another? :

 

[sledger]

Good, you don't deserve it back.

haha genuine lol, had to stifle a laugh.

 

[sledger]

WoW, be awesome to get the Petemeister in, anyone else around around these times?

(Well... if we think Pete and sledger in the same place would be advisable that is... )

Peter Young loves his gravy, he's awesome.

 

[PY]

Not many spare days in January then by the looks of things.

Tarick's overrated. Ask Anna.

 

[Smudge]

I resisted replying to that last post because, well, I'm the better man...

 

[Matteh]

Tarick's overrated. Ask Anna.

Credit needs to go to the catcher as well imo, Tarick sliced that ball so much it was egg shaped whilst it was in the air.

 

[Craig]

In person. I assumed you were acting differently in those videos, as do most people when they are being filmed.

I'll tell you myself he is pretty dire. I remember seeing him bowl 4 overs, fist one went for two and the rest well the less said the better

 

[Richard]

It's only a relatively rare occurrance that I'm that bad.

In any case, I hope to be a reinvented bowler this season.

 

[Craig]

Taking up spin?

 

[Perm]

Taking up spin?

Straightening the elbow IMO.
