*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Richard]

D'you want me to meet you at St.David's then?

 

[Richard]

Well, the inaugural Dickinson-Walsh meeting was

, was great to meet the person I've known longer than anyone else on these forums (since before, indeed, I even joined them). To be repeated tomorrow with Pickup involved this time. Pics likely.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Think I'll bring my kit along: need a net, need to take the first steps of recovery towards playing again after the broken finger...

 

[Richard]

Don't expect Craig to test your expert technique too badly... though I'll send you down a few Beamers if you so desire.

 

[Perm]

Is he as angry as we all think he is?

 

[Matteh]

Yeah, Dickinson is always on a rager.

 

[Craig]

Is he as angry as we all think he is?

Sharpening my knife as we speak

 

[Richard]

Ah, you found some net access somewhere then? Seeya in 1-et-demi hours I guess.

 

[Richard]

Well, the match today (won by Exeter CC despite my best efforts - 4-38-0 ) saw the Pickup-Walsh net sessions, and pics were taken aplenty. Shame no vids could be done... will have to give that a bash at the next one in 10 years' time.

Should be added you opened the bowling and your first over went for two. And despite my slow pace (around 65km/h max, although my run up and action was a mess for somebody who hasn't bowled in a few years), Pickup had plenty of trouble trying to hit me, even bowled him. I have never seen anybody who can not literally play a ball off his pads or any shot down the leg side.

Hahaha. Neil! Seems a worse batsman than I had imagined... didn't think that was possible!

You don't mention the two that disappeared back over your head and out of the nets...

I've never been able to hit the glance shots to balls that are on my pads: short, fine; full tosses, fine - but length and on the pads and I'm screwed.

 

[Richard]

Well I always open the bowling, TBH, and the fact that my 1st over went for just 2 is little consolation when the next 3 went for 36.

 

[Richard]

You don't mention the two that disappeared back over your head and out of the nets...

Nor the fact that Holman gave you a almost-Wilko-esque telling-off after you deposited one not too far from those kids that were down there.

Did you ever get the video sorted for the first meetup?

 

[Richard]

Is still lying in my camcorder under the TV TBH, will probably upload it and work on breaking it into segments sometime in the next year.

 

[Matteh]

Poor show imo.

 

[Richard]

IMO too. I really do hate my own laziness.

Soooo lazy
Just so you know, the money hasn't cleared yet.. But thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hahaha, surely you must have thought how this would sound before you posted it? Otherwise just jeeeeez.
