Methlick (A) 26th July

There were five changes to the team to play against the MCC at Lairds. Out from last weeks heavy defeat against Crescent were Pradeep and Murali who were rested, Rory Annand was injured, Ben Frizzel was promoted to the firsts, and Junaid chose to play golf instead. That’s right, golf.

In came Magesh, back from a vodka drinking, sausage eating tour of Poland, Tom Murray back from his traumatic second visit of the year to the barbers, Nick Blyth back from a tour of England, where his presence coincided with a 10 wicket defeat by South Africa, Sam Knudson, home safely from a safari tour of Africa annoying elephants and lions and Mike Lloyd back from playing cricket in Canada and studying quantum physics or something equally difficult to spell, let alone understand.

2nd Banchory (A) 21st June

The near impossible happened this week when the team was chosen by 10am on Thursday morning, but still showed four changes from last week’s team.

Magesh’s three friends from Edinburgh had better things to do this week, Skinner was recalled to the first XI and Mike Hart was unavailable, so in came Muthu to keep wicket, Rory Annand returned from an extended tour of the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Tom Murray returned from holiday, and JPL returned from his self imposed exile for the trip to Banchory.
