*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Langeveldt]

Who is bowling? He is not keeping a consistent action, as his bowling arm is falling away after a few deliveries and as aresult all his later deliveries are drifting down towards legside

me, and thats deliberate, the one where I hit him was me doing a Malinga impression.. Think one of them I lost my run up anyway..

 

[Pup Clarke]

Get in line FFS

Why are you taking guard way outside leg stump anyway?

 

[Anna]

I'd forgotten the about 'Malinga' to rabbit bit

On leg. Which worked great when i actually did move my feet slightly in the first ball, after that, didn't look great.

Reckon after some watching that was the one that hit me on the thigh. Thigh pads are for wusses.

 

[Matteh]

Had a great batting session at my club tonight. Placing that solely on the fact that the ball never ever gets anywhere near over waist height, just plant that front foot down and drive away.

Keen on outshining Mitchell at the very least if/when I make one of these things. Haven't played proper cricket (see hard-ball cricket) in about 3 years, IIRC. Have only played cricket at all about four times in the last 2 years. Mine is a busy life.

Bowled everyone out at least once at the last few meetups though (), just happen to be a specialist tailender.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I don't remember the last time I was bowled. I've probably lost any semblance of technique by now, but I've only been bowled once before in a net session. Probably been bowled less than 10 times in my life. More likely to drive or flick uppishly to someone.

 

[Matteh]

If we use a big tree as the stumps, i'll have you out within three balls.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Unlikely. I'm very determined. I used to be called Jimmy Adams. And not just because I'm strikingly good looking and a fine player of spin. Ok, truth be told I never faced enough wristspin to be anything close to a master of it. But every other point in this post remains true.

 

[Goughy]

Just found out Im being flown to London on Monday for knee surgery on my torn ACL (only just diagnosed after 9 weeks of being injured).

Im not sure which days Im available next week until after Tuesday but Ill be in London saying at a hotel off Oxford St if anyone local fancies a beer.

 

[roseboy64]

Right, awaiting the rest of the videos to come through from Richard.. In the meantime, I made a little teaser video..

Ouch

(And I know, I'm still having trouble with the fact it's 2008)

That's Anna?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's Anna?

He states with great interest.

 

[Richard]

That's Anna?

The girl in the video is, naturally.

Let's hope Sean's checking this thread soon. Think he and Nishant are the only Londoners on CW, and Nishant is at uni somewhere currently.

Couldn't be bothered to check for the writeup.

 

[roseboy64]

Not bad TBH. Hingston has good taste IIRC.

 

[Manee]

The fast bowler seems to have a good action and the batsman is clueless, even though the deliveries does not look too far (either way) from 60mph. Nice clip, I liked the Waqar Younis (or was it Malinga?) impression too.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Haha, I'm pretty sure most were coming down nearer 70mph.
