“Recorded Messages of Mobile Misery”

June hasn’t even finished and weathermen are announcing it to be the wettest in Oxford in nearly 100 years. With the game on Sunday 24th lost once again due to an overnight deluge, it thus meant the Far from The MCC would fail to contest a single 40 over game throughout the entire month; their home of Brasenose redundant and now home to various mallards splashing and waddling around the outfield. Below are a few recorded texts that would seem to encapsulate the whole sorry saga….

Brasenose College Sports Ground – a sorry pathetic sight.

Sorry buddy but it’s gonna be a no go, can’t do a lot with her and also the forecast is terrible.

Sorry mate the ground is bolloxed. Can’t get roller on and the outfield is a lake. Forecast looks shite once more. Dan.

Okay, mate. No worries. Hopefully weather will be better for next Sunday, huh? Cheers, Ian.

All right now the game is still on. We aim to start a little earlier (13:30) as there’s rain due this evening. Same meeting place from midday. Will yet if game is called off. Moo

GAME OFF WATER LOGGED SQUARE: well for the 4th Sunday on the bounce the game is off. This week we got to within 2 ½ hours of starting so we’re getting closer. Can you let me know you received this rather depressing text
