NATS Preview: I Predict It Will Piss Down

There's a longshot prediction in the picture

Beset by unavailability, the selection committee have reached deep into whatever the opposite of a bottomless pit is and come up with the following team for this weeks match against NATS at the Sports Centre.  As usual I am writing this with no enthusiasm as it has been pissing down for days and I'd give this game about a 2% chance of being played.  We have beaten NATS once this season so will be favorites to win, especially with this stellar line up.

1) The Big Dog - fresh from his 6 ball duck last week, the Big Man will be unveiling the sweep shot at every opportunity to counteract the ball along the ground issue.

2) Tommy 49 - promoted back to the top of the order following his scandalous demotion last week

3) Paul McPompey - a realistic Pompey fan but one who you can get a reaction out of if you poke hard enough.  Dunno if he plays cricket but he's in for giggles.

4) The Guru - Nothing to say.  It's the fucking Guru innit?

5) Spaul - returning hero trying to recapture his early season form with bat and ball

6) Wardy - Zimbabwean overseas player now qualified for England on the residency rule.  Legendary runner between the wickets.

7) Skip - Can't physically run between the wickets

8) Shagger Blackwell - fully equipped with lucky pants

9) Sarge Saunders - said he'd only play if Barry was playing cos he's a fucking legend.

10) Barry Shipman - is a fucking legend and an ambassador for Help the Aged.  Well, if Kate McCann can be an ambassador for the Missing Persons Bureau then anything is possible.

11) Jonjo Fourball - Get down in your correct batting position you disgrace.
