Cup Fever Preview : The Shire Part 2



Barry thumbs a lift to Hoglands Park

All we do is previews.... we don't play any bastard cricket.

Off to the war zone of Hoglands Park where it’s time for more Cup Fever and The Village versus The Shire Part 2.  Apparently we have the Special Forces Unit at the game to ensure people get off the pitch.  Just what we need.

With continual pissing rain being the order of the day for the past two weeks, this is the first fixture either of these teams have had since the last one between these two fine sides when The Village won by 9 wickets.  Changes ahoy tonight though and the Village have had to plumb the depths of their squad to field a team following disciplinary issues involving duct tape, a white van with blacked out windows and a sheep.   The Guru and Geoff are helping police with their enquiries, aided and abetted by Nigel, the Worlds Nicest Lawyer who will ensure that they get done for it.

This leaves the Village with the following side:

1 Colin Day – The Big Dog has been left hungry for 3 weeks now.  Carnage may follow.

2 Tom Richards – in the side despite refusing to pay his match fees due to poverty

3 Steve Paul – Revelling in his summer of cricket, Spaul will once again be attempting to prove that Worty’s decision not to give him a game 3 years ago, was a foolish one.

4 Luke Blackwell – Every cup game, a Joey gets promoted up the order.

5 Glen de la Cour – The Skip may have to unfurl the mighty Graeme Hick willow for this game

6 Phil Jewell – The silent assassin is in the house.

7 Jonjo Stovell – Surely some mistake putting this knob so high in the batting order.  Have you forgotten the shouldering arms incident?

8 Tom Barge – All I know about him is “he’s a left armer”.  Secret weapon.

9 Rob Saunders – Back from fighting contra-rebels in Nicaragua, the one man pace battery.

10 Nic Feest – Learning new swear words and insults for ginger people, our kids academy prospect who will probably be better than all of us when he grows up.

Please, no more fucking rain.
