Hi all,
Please note the slightly earlier meet time. 9.15am rather than 9.30am.
GAME WILL START AT 9.30am
A warm welcome to Benjamin Wakefield, Devesh Upreti, Swayam Bajpai and Zayan Baig who will be playing their first game for the U15s.
Several of our players have to be back at Little Bounds at 12.30pm prompt. Wollaton have kindly agreed to accommodate and pull the game forward for an earlier start.
In addition, the two teams have agreed variations to the game; all will assist in ensuring we will finish in good time. The game will be played as follows:
• We will play a 20 over, 5 balls per over, game – let’s call it our version of “The Hundred”!!;
• Teams will bowl from one end only. (Batsmen swap at the end of each over);
• Ellerslie will bowl first;
• Batting: Retire at 20 runs;
• Bowling: Maximum of three overs per bowler.
My thanks to Ashley, Wollaton’s coach/ manager for accommodating and agreeing the changes. For Ashley and I this is all about getting 22 players the opportunity to play cricket. Even if that means having to make some tweaks.
Best wishes,
Mick.
U15s
