5) Oh my God - you are actually right! As we all know Timbo Beer fields at gully, and when not bowling Medium Sized Danny dozes at fine leg.

I just have one question for you TTFC...

1) Which specialist fixture secretary finally retired from my Sunday friendly side at the tender age of 51, having played 309 matches over twenty-two years, scoring 232 runs and taking 44 wickets?

Was it A) The "Truth" B) The "Weapon" C) The "Blacksmith" or D) "Thor"?

6) Its one of the Eastern minor counties. Something like Suffolk or Cambs. Did you know he scored a century for them this year?

Question: What teams do these former county stalwarts play for?

(a) Kim Barnett
(b) Paul Pritchard

[Teatime FatCat]

Big up to you Mellons! He plays for Suffolk!!!!!!


The replacement keeper for Middx was Paul Farbrace

No you're wrong The "Blacksmith" aka "Bad Boy" is still playing at 54... (or he was in October) He used to be a useful smash-it-all-over-the-park sort of a batsman, but since a rather ghastly accident (involving a poorly directed and short leg-spinner's delivery, a massive crashing attempted and miscued hoick over mid-wicket and an eyebrow) he has bought a helmet and started to pick his boundary balls rather more judiciously. He has, however, recently turned into a useful dry-up-the-runs sort of a bowler.

I'll go for B) Sausage & Ketchup (or rather brown sauce) is excellent, and Chicken Tikka tends to fall apart easily unless the bread is very thin.

Great question though. Here's another...

Which cake received more votes for Most Memorable Moment of my club's cricket season than any other?

Was it A) The Blacksmith's dragon-like cordon bleu wife (who does all the home teas wonderfully well)'s Coffee and Walnut?
B) The Blacksmith's wife's chocolate cake?
C) Steve's mother-in-law's Coffee cake on tour?
D) The Blacksmith's wife's fruit cake?

It's a bit easy that one.

4)Aashish Nehra

ps: Glenn McGrath was the correct answer, he was indeed the best man at Tugga's wedding. To find out 10 other facts you never knew about McGrath read this article that Steve Waught wrote to commerate the fast bowler's 100 test match.

Got to be the Chocolate Cake!


Mellons - Is Kim Barnett playing for Devon?

Nope, it was Steve's mother-in-law's coffee cake.

Don't know whose recipe it was, but I understand that much of the sugar content in the ingredients is replaced by actual coffee... can't remember whether that was beans or instant but either way... it was the best coffee cake I've ever had.
My hangover disappeared instantly.

And the answer to my first question was B) "Weapon." A very solid batsman - in the Rachael de Tyne mould - solid to the nth degree, in that he stayed at the wicket and never, EVER scored any runs.

I think his finest moment as a batsman came in a low scoring game (which we won) when he and opened and was dismissed eighth wicket down after about seventy minutes for naught. I think we'd made about 58 by then.

Truly a Boycottian performance. Numbers nine, ten and eleven were able to take full toll of the tired bowlers, just as ITB did in 1981. Or perhaps not.

Not in November he isnt. Think he was playing for Staffs last season.

Bang on the money! That was the easier one! What about Pritchard then?
