13. FOUR SLEEPS 'TIL...

1 Dec:

While we still have a few Cup games to play out, they wont affect the overall result. With Ipswich winning late, the Cup Tie went to penalties, but there is enough results from the few penalty games played that we can safely call the game done now as per the results here (updated 2 Dec with complete results):

This means MattG wins with a 3-3 result in the first 5 games, and a 1-0 (or 2-1 score if Seattle win) from the first three penalties. Which of course means games D and E are not needed.

MattG is the last through to the round of 16.

Later this week we will draw the Round of 16 Cup Ties - randomly and will be 'live tweeted' on the night.
There is no Cup play next weekend.


Back to regular League play and this week we have ANYTHING BUT REGULAR LEAGUE PLAY... have a look at the @BrotherAmos score!!

A perfect 7 for the week!

Well done Amos... our first perfect round.

In other game news...
- bragging rights are shared as MattG draws with Laurence.
- The late away goal to Barcelona means its also a draw between Harri and Amul.
- the Tiger derby ended as a win for the Steve (the Car) over Sean (Ross).

MattB suffers his 6th loss in a row. Setting the wrong kind of records Mr. B!


And in the Belt Game, the belt changes hands again as J_Foreigner accounted for Hardsy.

The Sarge retakes the lead.


29 Nov:

Every week in summer, thousands of adults and kids mark out a spot on the crease and 'stand to', waiting for the bowlers delivery.
Every summer for decades this has happened. Brave bats, with and without protective gear.

That such an event as the death of Phillip Hughes this week had not happened before is remarkable. Because it could have happened anywhere and anytime in the last 100 or more years.

Its such an oblique accident of circumstance, happened upon not just a young man, but also a man of talent.
How desperately unfortunate.
A sad circumstance for family, friends and the cricket community globally.

The spectre of this type of catastrophic death will remain in cricket for a long time.
Unlike the young man himself... gone from activity in the field.

But not gone from the hearts and minds of the cricket (and broader sporting) diaspora.

Vale Phillip Hughes.



(Which is why I am a bit late getting the tips blog posted...  its not an easy task to express such feelings.)
