Liam where can I submitt grounds?

Send them to leaguefortheages @ cricketweb . net

(note: this is highly unofficial, just trying to help a fellow manager so he won't lose more points)

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Results will be a bit late today. Will be out by tonight though.

Final Swansong for England manager, Peter E Young

It is with a heavy heart and a hungover head that I hand in my notice for the position of England's LfTA manager. The wage of £4.24 per hour is not enough to support my lavish ( :rolleyes: ) lifestyle.

It has been a rollercoaster of a ride as 2 Ashes series have been surrendered to Australia without so much a fight and a winning streak of 8 wins. The highs have been much more on the bowling side (hint hint :P) with the likes of Jim Laker taking 7/25 and George Lohmann taking 7/61. The lows being losing the Ashes.

Think I may have missed the final deadline for my side for the Third Test match!!

If not:
England's Side for 3rd Test Match

G.A. Gooch
J.B. Hobbs
L. Hutton
H. Sutcliffe
W.R. Hammond
K.F. Barrington*
D.C.S. Compton
G. Boycott
A.J. Stewart +
G.A. Lohmann
S.F. Barnes

Opening Bowlers = Barnes and Lohmann

This thread isn't really for chat, but never mind. Sad to see you go - at least you can end on a high note, as with luck you can draw the home series against mighty Sri Lanka :P

There's so many topped threads, no-one would have seen it if I'd started a new one. :P

I am slightly sorry to go but other things have to take precedence.

Chat comment was more directed at myself than at you.

Anyway, I understand it if you want to get a life :P
