Unlucky on Saturday lads ;-(. Have to say that we had a great day out with our weekend visitors, took them to Chester Zoo on Saturday where we said hello to the most graceful tiger you'ver ever seen - huge thing, walked around with a very arrogant air, as if to say "I am so much better and more powerful than the other animals here"!! Was nice and hot too. From the reports Dickie and Cliff have passed on, Bird and Freddie bowled very well and there were some very good batting efforts too ...

Looking forward to getting back in the swing, but not to tomorrow's selection meeting where we have some real dilemmas with people playing themselves into contention! 15 into 11 is a struggle and it's going to be very tough not to annoy people I fear. Luckily (?) Nellie and Nick are away otherwise it would have been very, very difficult indeed.

We need a full 5 man team for selection please for reasons discussed at committee meeting last week!
