"Chuck it in the Ravine": Southamptonshire Preview


Riverside Park - Didn't get a Lottery Grant

It Southamptonshire at Riverside Park, it's Worty and that's all you need to know.  It's grudge match of gigantic proportions which will result in all out warfare.  Actually, it will end with both teams in the pub.

Representing The Village against The Shire will be:

1 Colin Day - the Big Dog has got two starts and not converted so far, a bit like Ian Bell.  Will tomorrow be conversion day.

2 Tom Richards - restored to opening the batting despite and impressive bowling performance on Monday

3 Spaul - man of the moment and if we had a Players Player of the Season vote now, he wouldn't win as no one likes him.

4 It's the Guru

5 Glen de la Cour - despite the team looking much better when he doesn't bat, he's promoted himself again

6 Clive Davison - recalled to add left handed awkwardness having just recovered from an operation on the palm of his wanking hand.

7 Phil Jewell - bowler of steely determination and attitude and he looks like Danny de Vito - I may have mentioned that before

8 Luke Blackwell - recalled after being dropped for late night misdemeanours

9 Nigel Hubbard - The world's nicest lawyer will be there but there is abotu 18 hours til the game so don't bet on it.

10 Geoff Edwards - the only thing more miserly than his bowling is his efforts at the bar.

11 Jonjo Stovell - Shouldering Arms twice in three balls = Number 11

The key to winning at Riverside Park is to get your bowlers to metronomically pitch the ball into the ravine that runs across the square.  Hit the downslope and it rolls along the ground, hot the upslope and it will be up round the batsmans ears.  I back the Jeweller, Spaul and Geoff to be accurate enouh to exploit the conditions.

Bring it .....
