Playing cricket in the Middlesex Champsionship 3rd Division.
Our team is looking for a couple of young athletic players to boost the ranks of the first team. We are finishing mid-table this year but not before coming close to second position. We are already getting 2 new players for next season, and will look to add another one or two and we will probably win the league.So if you want to join a team on the way up:drop us an email.
The team is lively with lots of chat/banter and characters. It is multicultural with Carribeans, Indians, South Africans, Kenyans, Pakistani, Australians and last but not least British (of which most of our members are proud to call themselves.)
Star player is Oliver "Bird" Selwyn. A big man with an even bigger hit. The nickname refers to his size (as in Big Bird off Sesame Street) and the fact that he talks alot (as in chirping like a bird.)
He has some pretty clever and fast leg break bowling that takes regular wickets to back up his top order batting. Tried for Middlesex as a junior.
Sadly this season has seen him start work as a bus driver so he can't always get the Saturday shift swopped to play.
New challenger for his title this year has been Peter Newell. Batting number 3 and second change bowler. Sadly hasnt quite lived up to initial innings of 78 runs and 5 wickets, mainly due to sustaining severe tennis elbow.
Top result this season was the annual Sunday fixture against Little Hampton on their home ground. Alwasy worth the coach trip for this excellent batting track. Their Indian professional scored 277 to put the opposition on 347 off their 40 overs.
We followed with Fifties from Oliver Selwyn,Vincent Farley, Fabian Farley and an unbeaten Century from Matthew Peet, we made the target with 3 balls to spare.
