Devils Cordially Invite All Bashers

To all our friends at the Bashers Another year has flown by and 2010 has seen us share many an on-field rivalry, spat, controversy and (most importantly) many laughs again. Now that the season is nearly over it may be a long time before we can all get together as cricketers again. So whether you support the Devils or Dogs on Sunday it would be a fantastic sight to see a swarm of "blues" at the ground making merry the way we know you Bashers can.

Duckworth Lewis – It’s total bollocks

Tonight I was told that the Leisure lost their first game against Pudong due to some contrived rule realated to Duckworth Lewis rule. The SCC needs to get a life. At the lower level of cricket SCC they should be encouraging people to play not revisit a bad experience with their high school maths teacher. This ruling is utter nonsense not only because it is incompensible but because every game relies on impartial umpies from both sides which is not the case. The Law is an Ass or as we say in Glasgow "total bollocks". I might be old fashioned but I used to think that the most runs won the game and if the weather got in the way then it was a draw and off to the Pub.
