Just signed up!

Live in England and have played cricket (never successfully) all my life. Looking forward to interacting with some like minded people. Got tickets to first Ashes match this year at Trent Bridge, can't wait for that - although it's a bit of a shame, they then play it in Australia about two months later!

Don't forget Burgey has also seen WG Grace in action.

Alright Chaps.

First post etc.

Love me cricket me; 30-odd years and counting. Live in England, born in Wales.

Not one for joining any old forum, so please be nice.

Thoughts about which I'll verbally spew out in the forthcoming:

Sir Geoffrey of Boycott, The Cricket Paper, Lord Blowers, Mike Simkins, collecting Wisdens, John (not Jonathan) Agnew .............and a whole other plethora of bile in which to razzle and dazzle.

Nice one.

Pity we haven't heard from this chap since ... there's still time though.

Recently joined after reading the site for a few months. Especially like fredfertang's cricket bios. Been posting a short while and I've been getting monstered by Hussey fan bois in response. Hope to check out a few other threads soon.

Just realised where your name comes from BB - repeat of HIGNFY on this evening. Made up by Paul Merton!

Actually its one of the nick names for Babe Ruth. I'm not a huge baseball fan but enjoy its history which, like cricket's, is a very interesting read. Anyway I loved the name the big bambino so i stole it for here.

Should've gone with the Colossus of Clout imo.

He's a wrestler isn't he?

Hi Fellow cricket fans, thought I'd drop by and introduce myself having finally gotten around to checking this place out.

I'm an English cricket fanatic who has lived in Oz for nearly 20 years, an Aussie now in a lot of ways but when it comes to sport........never!! The highlight of my cricket watching life was being at the MCG for day 4 and watching England retain the Ashes.......up there with the birth of my children

Anyways, looking forward to hanging around and getting to know some of you and chatting about this great game which is somewhat of an obsession of mine.

Welcome to the forum Adders - good to have you here

 

[Hurricane]

up there with the birth of my children
.

You lost me there - if you had've said superior to the birth of my children I would have given you a warm welcome.

Just kidding. Welcome - A pom that calls Aussie home. Don't have many of them around here...with apologies to PEWS.

Surely you haven't thrown the towel in already Uvo??? I understand that your expectations are probably shattered.....but 10-0, seriously??

You can count on the English weather to gift you at least 1 draw, and in the return series surely your boys can pick up one of the tests??

I'm hoping for 8-1

New here so thought I'd post and see how everyone is!

My name's Jason and I currently live in Ringwood (Near Bournemouth), South of England. I am 20 years old and been playing cricket competitively since I was 7.

I was born in South Africa and lived there till I was 6, and with my family being very sporty, learned to catch and throw before I can even remember.

Played u10-u14s for Dorset County and u10-u16 for East Dorset before back injury took the better of me and I gave up the game for a few years and hit the gym.

Thankfully, my best friend plays for the first XI of the local team and asked me to come along to a net session with him. After facing my first ball, I knew I had to get back into cricket.

Trained hard during the winter with his team and jumped back into this at the beginning of last season... Having the experience I've had they chucked me straight into the First XI and I had to pick things up again pretty quickly.

After a few bad scores at number 6, and opening the bowling, I asked to stop the bowling and bat 3 (my old role). This worked. The last three games of the season I scored consistent 50's and saved the team from being relegated.

This season, we've had one Saturday game (45 overs) and a Wednesday game (12 overs), and my role as a no3. proved handy after scoring 117* and 107*.

Anyway, enough about that.. I'm also a Trainee Accountant and love online gaming (I'm a nerd at heart).

BIB, whens your England call-up due

Hahaa, doubt that's ever going to happen! Had my chance early on in my career but unfortunately injury ruined it.. Oh well, hopefully I'll be seeing a few of my old team mates in the England rankings soon enough!
