Chaps,

1st XI selection for Saturday ...

Paul (c), Belt&Braces, Dickie P, Dasher Deegan, Big Ross Mac, Captain of Vice, Clifford, Micky J, Ducky, Twirlybird Leggie Full Toss Merchant*, Sheik Osama Al-Cottoni. [Young Jedi Matt** as twelfers]

* strangely straight back on target last night
** if he plays he's opening the bowling on Saturday so he can scare the opposition witless with his new 25 yard run up and outrageous sprinting. It's like Jonathan Edwards on heat - you expect a triple jump after that run! In fact, if he does a triple jump during a game, he's paying 0 fines for the rest of the year. Possibly ever.

New nets are excellent, though as usual we're indebted to Cliff for purchasing the "no instructions" variety. Presumably the nets were 50 quid, the instructions 250.
