Jagex CC - 2013 Start of Season

This is the start of something semi-beautiful, a blog chronicling the ups, downs, ins and outs of Jagex CC. Jagex is a computer games company based in Cambridge, UK. We are a friendly bunch around the office and accordingly we have a number of social sports teams. The cricket club is one such enterprise. We play 20/20 evening cricket against a number of local businesses. We're not very good, but we try, 'really' hard, enjoy ourselves,drink beer and get to play in the sunny environs of some of the fine college grounds around Cambridge. There are also social events, which may feature in this blog, provided I can preserve the dignity of all concerned.

It's been an inauspicious start to the third full Jagex CC 20/20 cricket season. 12 indoor nets sessions were scheduled, and 11 took place. Sadly they took their toll. We've had several new potential players attend 1, maybe 2, and then decide that this wasn't for them. Sad, but fair enough. We've also had several players promise to play, but then not turn up to a single session. Tsk tsk...

Thankfully we've had got some new players who are keen, in particular messrs Wise, Gibbins, Beattie, Lait and Love. The latter has a name that lends itself to the most wonderful personal theme tunes.

We also have had the terrible news that resident wicketkeeper and chirpmeister general behind the stumps N Tween has handed his notice in at work, so we won't have Mr Reliable behind the stumps for the whole coming season. We also probably won't see his Jack Russell Style hat. Sad Face. We've also lost a few others who will be sorely missed. Jay Atkinson has finally decided to become the very first South African to live full time in France. Michael Howe has traded one University City for another, moving from Cambridge to Oxford. We also had a man called Kruger in the squad who smoked a pipe, but sadly he has disappeared. 

Also, with the dwindling budget we're technically out of bats, after Mr Tween decided to do this to our last remaining club bat whilst playing in the nets.

I wouldn't make him angry if I were you.

However, we have a full squad, a full fixture list and are raring to go... Watch this space for updates.
