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.
