Hvala lepa. Even though I can´t catch the damn ball I certainly appreciated the friendly reception and the free food and cold beer. If I return to Slovenia I will certainly look forward to improving my skills and drinking with everyone. Thanks!! Tomas www.headjammers.com

Club Motto
(Preview)
Seeing as it's the club's 10th anniversary this year and we still don't have a club motto, it would be an idea to come up with one. In Latin, nimirum.... Non vinco et crustum maxime To lose and (throw) cake exceedingly Crustum per allium, crustum per se He who (throws) cake for all, (throws) cake for hi...

Etymology corner - the Valburga cricket ground

Now the place plays host Engli...

Cricket newspaper headlines

Having seen "Vaughan all at sea over Fredalo claims" I thought we should have a thread where we can post funny, weird or even made up newspaper headlines. The best, the worst, let's hear them.

Vaughan quits as One day captain
(Preview)
in a move that should certainly please Paichukka - Michael Vaughan has stood down as England's One Day Captain. Paul Collingwood is favourite to get the job or Kevin Pietersen. Any thoughts? I think Collingwood would be a good choice, but whoever gets the job has to be captaining the best team there is...

The next England coach

Right, well when things are going so badly, all one can do is look to the future. Who is the man (and I think in all probability it will be a man) who can lead England to future glory? Assuming he will be taking over after England's early exit from the World Cup (!), he'll essentially have to achiev...
