How many professional cricketers are on this site?

[age_master]

Really? Apart from Buggsy (I thought) and Jack, I can't think of any others...

Im sure Bugs would appreciate that but as far as i know he just played in the top couple of grades of district cricket.

I'm definitely not a professional.

Hmm, don't know why I thought you got paid to play club cricket then. Do you still play much these days?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Still play regularly. It's just that only two players per club get paid, and generally that's someone who gets recruited either from another club, interstate or an overseas player.

Mike Atherton reads the forum

Forum already has one Athers, GAGFMA.

About time this thread was due a bump.

I got a slab to fill in one week. Does that count?

 

[cnerd123]

I'm a former first class cricketer from New Zealand who has more FC wickets than Williamson and has played for more professional teams than Mark Craig.

I bowled Stephen Fleming when I was 11 years old. That's how good I was.

*He may or may not have missed the ball to make me feel good*

I have a similar story, but the batsman in mine was Craig Spearman. I feel slightly inferior.

I scored an unbeaten ton against NSW, and have been getting my seamers to shape back into the right hander alarmingly during practice. I reckon a World Cup call-up isn't out of the question.

Oh yeh I also got a slab once for hitting a six into an adjoining swimming pool.

 

[Dan]

I opened the batting at an oval right next to a swimming centre a few years back. 8:30am start, I'm shaping up to face the first ball, and all I can hear is the lady running the women's aqua aerobics class shouting. Susie was apparently performing well short of her potential during that session, ftr.

 

[Athlai]

I don't get to use the acronym GAGFMA enough. He should post more.

 

[Mike5181]

I once hit a guy in the head with a beamer. I got him lbw next ball and he had tears running down his face as he walked off. I didn't feel bad about it. < Bad person.

Why do you call yourself Susie and why do you refer to yourself in the third person. And also, try to reach your potential...

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I am distantly related to Imran Khan (the real Imran). Based on that I should get a call up from the PCB even though I have never played cricket beyond the park or my back garden.
