Is that the big, dusty leather bound book with 251 NOT OUT scrawled across the first double page in massive letters and **** all else?

edit: sorry, my bad, I'm sure there was something about an 8-for written in there somewhere.

I'd say chuck it out, but it might come in handy when Red visit and I need to wipe my arse when taking an epic post triple century dump.
251* and 8fers are worth bragging about, whereas someone who batted like an amputee last season doesn't have a leg to stand on.

TBF Dinnen's 146 last season was pretty ***y. Though I thought they both batted like retards for most of last season.

Anyway looks like a it might be a bit of a rebuilding season for Blues this season. Batting look ok now Crampton and De Silva signed up. Bowling looks very inexperience with Sriram and Demeza with FC experience out of the specialist.

A tad surprised on a personal note that I didn't miss a Dev League seasons even though I have been retired for a year. I only missed the off season. Long time between drinks. Anyone now how soon we are to starting the new season.

Wouldn't mind the new blokes to the team stating a bit about themselves and what they're looking to achieve in their debut seasons so I can get to know them etc.

Also - old blokes feel free to state what your goals for the new season may be :)

Mine - captain us to more finals, keep up the FC strike rate, improve in batting (hoping to get a couple of 10+ FC innings :p), and to be a contributer in OD more so than just the captain.

Hoping to get some wickets, runs would be nice as well, but get more satisfaction from bowling then batting tbh.

As far as i go, I've been around CW for a while but never ventured into the CW XI bit before, thought I may as well give it a crack, looking for some cheap office laughs tbh.

Hoping to score some solid runs this season and take a few wickets. Hopefully I can establish myself in one of the starting XIs.

Im back after a long lay off. so first task is to get into the team and cement my spot with sme runs.
 

Noble One

International Vice-Captain
To get a game or two would be nice.

Hoping to transfer my form from the club cricket offseason. Play the role of a backup bowler, proving my versatility either as a run-clogging medium pacer or a tyro who can tear through the middle order.

Sweet, I don't think you've been included in our current list - but awesome to have you back - really firms up our top order strength!

Simon - S Young signed in for blues :p
Doesnt appear as though he signed in the current thread. Just a nudge that way would be good.

I'm hoping to build upon my Togo performances :p and gain a spot in the Blues top 3.

Hoping to average over 40, though I understand that'll be difficult!

I'm hoping to put pressure on Garven's number 6 spot for CW XI.

Will like a bit responsibility with the bat this season, batting at number 4 or 5 in the longer format of the match.
