Sid is our groundsman. Most don't know it.


OH WELL!!!!!??

 

[.Mob]

The Donkey's have a groundsman?

One for every occasion.

 

[barmyarmy]

We used to just let the weather do the job.

 

[.Mob]

As your results evidently show...


It's alright though, it's not such a bad thing to not have the level of infrastructure we have. You poor *******s.

 

[Cricketman]

We have groundsmen, but they usually are lying around drunk with therbs in the bar.

 

[barmyarmy]

Oh you mean the bar staff. Yeah they've been known to water the pitch after closing time with the contents of the spills tray. I guess they could be referred to as ground staff.
I remember our season 1 training camp was in Antigua and it's possible they got some ideas from the local bartenders.
Incidentally at this rate of posting I'm going to have to come out of retirement!

 

[Cricketman]

We'd love that! Come back for the finals I say.

Bookies would be happy too if you know what I mean.

I doubt it. Unlike Zorax I was never able to help the bookies much as I always played as if I was trying to throw the match!

 

[Therbs]

I thought that was simply being flexible and contributing to our profit base.
The grounds staff themselves are fine mixers of drinks. I particularly like their citrus infused sloe gin with tonic launched over a bed of chipped ice.

So did I but it was a bugger to bat on!

 

[Therbs]

Gotta remember I'm a bowler. And there's nothing like pounding down a wicket consisting of gin and tonic. The follow through is always interesting.

 

[barmyarmy]

I thought you ended up flat on your face rather a lot and the "lost my footing" excuse was getting thin.

 

[Cricketman]

On our way to both finals, boys.

 

[Manly]

Very strong position at the end of D3

 

[Cricketman]

Maney, are you seriously leaving?! After all the time in the yatch, all those intimate moments...why do you think you got so much game time?!

You've...used me.
