My 10 year old has so consequently I'm back chauffeuring - last Saturday was 11 - 12.30 football, 3.30 - 5.30 cricket then took him off to a party after cricket and picked up at 7.30pm then off to Rugby Sunday am - no suprise I never seem to get on my bike. Thankfully the other one only does cricket through the summer.

Do they teach you how to type properly at this school, or just play cricket(not a mans sports)
I dont play cricket, i did play it when i did PE, but never really got into it.
Baseball i thought was good though, thats a more manner sport i think.

Your middle finger appears to be stuck up........
Is that why you have to type in text speak?
My friends play cricket though, and so does the guy next door. I never got on with the sport, i did used to love bowling and missing the top bit of the loop so it was sort of just a normal throw:laugh:

I'd give anything to have a full season of cricket to look forward to again.

I've been retired for far too long now, and prematurely (:laugh:). Still have a few good innings in me. Have to save it for beach cricket somewhere. xx(

Isn't there an expats team in Scandinavia? My dodgy hips retired me some years ago but I'd be ok if I didn't have to run (just 4's and 6's), if I could field in the slips and didn't have to get out of bed for a couple of days afterwards.

I played a few summers in Stockholm, but there was too much cheating amongst certain elements for it to be fun, and facilities were crap. The grass IS greener, and shorter, in England! :laugh:

I was asked to represent the Swedish national team but declined as I didn't want it to jeopardise my chances of playing for England! xx(
