No matter how things go for us, it could be worse, we could be these guys.
All XI players were bowled out for 3 in a senior match. Worse still, 2 of the runs were leg byes, and the only one from the willow was scored by the number XI batsman.
Fair play to them though, taking it on the chin. Cricket can just be like this sometimes.
I'm glad to see that they are enjoying their new found fame - with reports as far afield as Australia celebrating the achievement.

Jagex CC - Start of Season - 2014
Another year, another season
for Jagex CC. The sunshine has started to peak through the clouds, the IPL is
in full swing, and we've just completed 10 full weeks of nets, so we're raring
to go for our fourth season of Jagex CC 20/20 evening cricket.
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 and do our best to chronicle the highs and lows of the season with photos and this blog.
We're very much a social cricketing team - with an emphasis on sportsmanship, sledging and beer drinking - as opposed to say, you know, being actually good at sport.
Sadly we've lost some former stalwarts in between the end of the 2013 season and the start of 2014.
Love Verma is no longer on these fair shores - having gone back home to India. We will miss his lightning quick, skiddy, bowling and innovative batting technique.
Simon "Milky Au" Lait has departed Jagex for some other enterprise in a nearby village or hamlet. His fast bowling will be missed by all - although our wicket-keeper and the wide column in the scorebook may both see less action than before.
Kris Jones, the man with the most vociferous "NO!" at the crease has moved all of 100 yards away to work for another business in the sunny environs of the science park.
Everyone else is present and correct, and we've acquired Mr Matt Parish, as a new recruit - very much in the Piers Morgan mould. Also, Lee Maplesden has crossed codes, moving over to join the cricket team for his first season, whilst also remaining a fairly decent footballer.
12 fixtures are ahead of us, which will no doubt be punctuated by a start of season curry, a mid season curry, and the all important end of season curry. So, without further ado, watch this space for updates.
