Beings I for some strange reason have played my cricket in the mid to lower teams I thought I would pick a team not on ability but on who I would like to get drunk with in the bar afterwards.
My team:
- Kevin Brailey. Excellent drinker of real ale. Always very good to discuss politics with and always buys his round.
- Chris Boon Snr. Boony has got one of those faces that makes you laugh before he speaks and is a top quality funny dancer.
- Neil Webb. Webby is a very good addition to the team as his old man is president of the club and there is an outside chance of getting afters.
- D.Muncaster. I always think it is essential to have a bloke in the bar who looks like a 5.8" grey squirrel.
- Nick Childs. The reasons Nick got in are I think you need a bit of youth in the bar and also he moans a lot less than his Dad.
- Dave Barbone. Even though some people might say drinking red wine is a bit girly I dont agree. My only slight concern with Dave is trying to get his horrendous cricket jumper off his "lean" body after the game. If it cannot be removed then I can see him overheating in the clubhouse afterwards.
- Ben Cocklin. I had to put Ben in the team because I have never been in the bar without seeing him in there. I did try and get Katie in as well but decided that I will organize a night out for her instead, where she will have some engaging conversation and a lot of laughs (unlike her normal Saturday Nights). Therefore she will be taken out for a lovely meal with Ash, Ken Hobbs and Alan Houston.
- Ian Belchamber. I think its worth having Belly in the team. If some stray women come into the club they always eye up Belly he entices them over. Once he starts speaking to them they then check all the other blokes out.
- Richard Whitehall. If rather than women turn up at the bar but a bunch of thugs then the first person they would hit would be Dicky. Whilst this was happening we could all run away.
- Pete Bainbridge. I would have him in my team because the expression on his face does not change if he has 1 pint or 12.
My 12th man would be Tony Prior. His job would be to find someone else to play if anyone blew out. Obviously put the stumps out and score and make sure everything is put away after the game. Beings we are getting on better nowadays I would allow him to come into the bar when someone is in the toilet or popped out for a fag. When the team are all in he can wait outside. I will lend him an umbrella if it starts to rain.
