Thanks for that, David - just a shame my direct hit of the stumps from a pretty deep mid-off was not actually during active play.


Otherwise my contribution to the game consisted of, falling over, perspiring, day-dreaming, aching and standing around whilst guys threw a ball at me. Hmmm....


Happy to report my other unique contribution to the game was getting through the whole day without drinking any beer.


Thanks for organising things Leon.

Cracking game boys - that was awesome.


I was a bit worried you'd either have loads of really good players like Dems or no good players at all. In the end though it turned out to be a well matched game. I reckon if you'd taken another wicket towards the end - if Dems had caught that catch off Keef! - you probably would've won.


The stars of the game were in no order Martin (awesome batting and bowling), Giles (an incredible 45 and good keeping), Jamie Keating (brave and stubborn batting to see us through) and Keef (who really should have taken three or four wickets).


I'm writing up the match report now (in between bouts of doing my job...) and it should be on the website today. Expect many references to Keef taking wickets despite being partially sighted!

A match report, wow!- Leon when you mention my breaking the bail with a ferocious direct hit from mid-off, could you sort of make out that I actually run someone out.

And if you have any trouble with spelling and grammar just forward the draft to the forum: we've got several pedants on here who'll soon set you right.;-)

Oh Keef, Keef, Keef I'm a journalist and I'm going to ham it up bigtime - in the same way I would for my paper.


For the purposes of this match report you're going to be more blind than Stevie Wonder in a darkened room with a blindfold on, shortly after he's had molten iron poured into his eye sockets...

    • it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂
    • They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄
    • @alice I suggest you reserve judgement until you've experienced it yourself. 
    • Yes, I've never bought a  phone that was locked to a specific network. So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. Or indeed my new mobile, but there wouldn't be much point in that; I think the old one  still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity, and my new one has loads. It's just occurred to me that I need to double check all my photos etc are backed up. I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP. I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know! The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them. I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, apart from a work related one, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember,  so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers  Oh, really? I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit? Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone? How long have you had that SIM card in the phone? If I  have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam! I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣
