I paid reg fees in 2020 before covid hit. It's typically used to book nets and pay for umpires, new balls, tournament registration fees etc etc.
Now the club is using the funds to set up stupid indoor cricket and 8 a side friendly games. I want my money back.

Pat is likeable because he is not trying to be a nice guy, he IS a nice guy(and inspirational). Tim Paine acting all cute was just "paineful" to watch.True to his superhero identity, Pat Cummins now sets out to save the world.

Mohammad Hasnain found to have illegal action, suspended from bowling in international cricket
Young quick disallowed from bowling in the ongoing PSL as well

Well apparently Moises had a point. This could be very bad, because aside from that he could (and probably would) be getting extra pace, Pakistan does not have the technical coaching or a good track record for helping such bowlers.

U19 Cricketer
Back in the halcyon days on Cricket Web circa 2015 I wrote this short story about the one and only Anton Devcich who was a fan favourite on this web site for many years and had many friends and foes. In fact despite only being a domestic stalwart and fringe international for a very brief period, he was discussed more on this web site than established black cap players. I often wondered if news of this web site travelled to his ears. Eventually one of his mates "randomly" joined this web site and explained to us that he was actually a good kent and the tide turned for Anton.
Nonetheless here is a Hurricane short story about Anton written 5 years ago.
“What ye be whittling away at there Anton” inquired Hesson as he adjusted his glasses slightly to avoid a glare coming in through the window.
“O yar, just something a man might do with his spare time if you get my meaning there Mr Mike” replied Anton.
Mike shifted in his chair. On one hand he enjoyed be called Mr anything it appealed to his sense of importance, but on the other hand he liked more being called Hesson which is something that Brendon had started recently.
Mike squinted his eyes to make out what Anton was whittling. It appeared to be a figurine of some description.
“That looks like a pretty fair effort there Anton, now who might that be…”
“Well now Mr Mike a man might have some secrets as to how he succeeds, and if he were to share said secrets they might not work any more” said a sage sounding Anton.
Mike was intrigued and decided to pull rank and use his position as coach to get the information.
“Well now Anton – I be a fair man from down Otago way and our alliance with Northern Districts not be withstanding I think I would like it if you were to trust me with this here secret of yours.”
“Well Mr Mike, a man gets to cogitating on a long road trip in the UAE. And he thinks to himself how can he make it into the World cup starting XI. Some folks like young Kane they gots the talent. But old Anton here needs to use other ways if you get my minding”.
“Not really” said a bemused Hesson.
“This here figurine you were looking at over your glasses, this be Ross. He completes the set. The hardest figure to Whittle was young Jimmy Neesham – he took some serious whittling.”
“And what do you plan to do with these figurines Anton” said a captivated Hesson.
“Strategise” he replied while tapping his index finger against his temple.
“I’ve got everyone right where I want them right now. Every day I do me some figuring and I talk to the figurines and they talk back and tell me what to say to each team member. I plan on being the most popular player in the team, good for Mor-Mor-Mor-Morale” The last word took a while to spit out but Anton said it with pride.
“I see” said Hesson who quickly filed this information away so he could use it to his best advantage.
“Well better call it a night Anton you are opening tomorrow”.
“Can I have a bowl coach”
“No”

A whole new ball game: revamped Kookaburra to spice up the Ashes
This summer’s Ashes ball is vastly different to four years ago, and will do more through the air and off the pitch.
