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.

Nick Blyth , Rory Annand and Junaid were unavailable, Rizwan was promoted to the firsts.

They were replaced by three friends of Magesh’s who were in Aberdeen for the weekend, Badri, Deepak and Dradeep and Mike Hart also generously volunteered to come in to make a rare appearance.

Dunecht (H) 7th June 2008

This week there were only two changes to the team which played two weeks ago, with Mike Phillips and Tom Murray unavailable, being replaced by Junaid and Rory Annand. It was nice to have eleven available after last week, when there were selection headaches with twelve available. Six firsts and six seconds.
