After having stood down a couple of seasons ago after a few seasons at the helm of my cricket team I have been re-appointed as captain for the coming season...the side was relegated last year after a tough season on and off the pitch so I have agreed to take over next season and try to guide the side back up to the league above....I will update on here as well as go through the winter training etc we will be doing.... hopefully people enjoy reading

Best of luck Andy. Hope you get to attend net session regularly and then enjoy the seasons in matches as an all-rounder you had few years back.

It feels so good to be back on the field playing the 20, 30, 40 and 50 overs matches, isn't it? The entusiasm in resuming club cricket is one of the best things after a break. Which over formats are played in England club cricket, Andy :?:
Test FL's - 8 , ODI and Tests Combo FL's - 1, ODI World Cup - 1, ODI FL's - 7, ODI and T20i combo FL's - 1 ,
T20 Franchisee FL's - 7, T20i Cup FL's- 1, T20 FL's- 5 , 50 Overs Domestic FL's - 1, 40 Overs Domestic FL's- 1
