Hey, don't worry about whites - if you've got them, wear them but it isn't important.


And Raju, stop trying to intimidate the forum with tales of super fast bowlers. Both of us know no-one is going to shower themself in glory in this game and the ability will be "varied" on both sides.


However it should be a good day in the park with food and beer and modest entertainment. If anyone thinks it's going to be a sporting duel then they're wrong.


Just so you know, we like to have a veneer of seriousness when it comes to organising things but we're really not great cricketers by anyone's standards so if anyone's feeling intimidated, you don't need to.

You know I?ve been looking on tinternet and it seems that whoever put the idea in my head that there were nets in Dulwich Park was lying.


Unless anyone out there can tell me different?


Anyone?


Anyone?


Anyway we can just use your stumps. . Why don?t we just meet at the gate on Court Lane.

There are still net frames in Dulwich Park - I couldn't vouch for what surface is laid down. used to be concrete I think. If you were entering from Court Lane, they are in the far corner of the playing field bit to the right - sort of over the fence from the bike hire place.


Does that make sense?

Hi all,

just to confirm my 2 offerings - hubbie who bowls legspin (I'd have been impressed with overarm but there you go....) and his mate who is 'enthusiastic' in most positions(?). See you all at the Common around 11 - will be driving as exposing baby daughter to first game of 'cricket'........

      Cleaning up old Harvester

      Well if not housing with a bit of social attached, perhaps a local supermarket or a restaurant/ chain food place. Can’t think of anything else  that would for the bill unless a private dentist or even something like Tessa Jewel to serve that section. Pity that skate park might go - guys and gals put so  much work into it but have to  move with times. Community centre?  Anyone have any other ideas? Nice to explore….. Meant Jowel - not Jewel…

      I have noticed this year that those plants of mine that 'berry' have berry-ed up excessively this year, particularly the mahonia. Old wives tales suggest this would suggest a harsh winter is in the offing - it will be interesting to see if this saying bears fruit (see what I've done there?).

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      That totally passed  me by- agree with  you totally - think  she must be going thru a bad patch - as Jazzer has mentioned somewhere else, has totally changed her tune but saying that, we all have bad  days and need to get things off our chest. Moving on….never been a fan of Croydon myself - use to have to relocate clients there years  - like everywhere some nice parts and some  not so nice. Not a place  I would go to for a mooch or shopping myself.

      Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.
