"Do you want to bat or bowl first?" - the captain of Finchley's Sunday XI (he's on the left) takes the reins in Galway
Boys, we have nothing to fear but total and utter humiliation on Sunday.
However, Frank - the opposing Finchley skip (we only borrow him for tours) - has clearly already lost it.
Here he is talking to a horse in Galway.
Team for Sunday is: JP, Andy O, Rockie, Simon, Tim R, Jack, Chris, Dan, Jim, Ash and Brendan.
Please meet at the ground at midday for 1pm start. It's now September and you know how unpredictable I get when the nights are drawing in!
This is easily the best cricket wicket and pitch we'll have played on this summer, by the way.
There's an electronic scoreboard though it wasn't working the last time I batted for them (geddit?!)
Finchley CC's address is: East End Road, Arden Field, Finchley, N3 2TA.
(tel: 0208 346 1822).

Finchley has a very good bar and clubhouse which we really should patronise after the match.
There's also talk of an end-of-season curry somewhere.

Skipper, Sounds excellent. Please arrange with Frank to win the toss, bat and put me at about number 6. That way I can go to the crease on a high having just watched Wales get off to a winning start in the RWC in the Finchley club house. Perfect day.
Skipper....SB appears to have little faith in his team mates' batting abilities. His comments suggest he fully expects 4 CCC wickets to fall on Sunday. What evidence could he possibly show to support this assumption?
Jim
Quite right. Arrogant, that's what I'd call it...Mind, I think he's had a sneak look at the scorebook while he's been absent!
Actually, it would make me a proud selfish batter if someone in the top order could hog the bowling for the whole innings and allow me to enjoy the rugby match and post-match interviews in the clubhouse.
