Complaining about being first for fines

 

If you weren't drawing attention to yourself by being late, you might not be first!

 

 

 

 

£1.00

Timms

Avg Protection

Last men standing

 

 

Batting out…

Of character? Actually looking like a batsman!!

 

 

Bullying Bob

 

David sent goliath to the non strikers end for the final ball of the match

 

 

Impersonating a batsman

Some very nice shots in there GT3

 

 

Solely aiming for record

 

Thought he could break the no.11 high score, unfortunately he was batting at 10!

 

 

Forgetting batting position

Assumed he was no.11

 

 

 

 

£1.50

Dave

 

Giving catching practice

 

Successive lobs to the boundary finally brought about his downfall

 

 

Arrogance

That he was immune to fines

 

 

Comedy Fielding

 

 

 

 

Great stop saving 2 runs… followed by one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen.. He picked up the ball and threw it over the rope… Dave: "the ball slipped".. Reality: "My cider addled brain slipped"

 

 

Fielding yips

Should this be a standard order for Dave?

 

 

Dissing Skipper

"Bring some shit bowling on, like….. You!?!?"

 

 

Disappointment

 

That his advice was so callously abused at fines… Dave, is this your debut? Have you met us before?

 

 

Self Importance

 

I'm the vice skipper… I agree you have lots of vice's Dave! ;)

 

 

Insulting Fines chairman

 

 

I received a hand gesture that insinuated that I have been driving badly… {I'm deeply hurt, boohoohoo}

 

 

Withering Stare

 

"Can we go back to only being fined for on field performance, I was man of the match after all!"

 

 

 

 

£2.25

Russ

Opening batsmen under 25 runs

"We should bat sensibly for the 1st 10 overs…"

 

 

Duck

QUACK…

£0.50

 

Injury

I can't give details can I….

 

 

Hypochondria

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I can… Russ at mid off, the hard hitting batsmen in his crease, Bowler bowls, batsman smashes a rocket straight to Russ' (hands? No. body? Warmer. Legs? Colder. Not his coin purse? Bingo). But he was up running around again like a spring chicken within several hours….

 

 

Non use of hands

see drop

 

 

Trying to teabag ball

Russ tried to…  No I can't do it

 

 

Confusion

Between hands and balls..

 

 

Comedy Fielding

 

Once WE all recovered from the initial blow it was quite funny!

 

 

Lack of height

 

Nope, I have no recollection of why you received this fine Russ

 

 

Drop

Yes, just an all round great day for Russ

£0.50

at 25 surely he should be categorised with the Mini Moo's

Concealing talent

 

 

 

"I'm sure there was a statement about having no eyes and 1 arm before the season and he's only in Gary and Dave's fantasy teams…. Could this be…. (see below)

 

 

Trying to rig fantasy cricket

It is!!!

 

 

Taking team for dummies

 

 

 

By concealing talent… But it backfired when he asked FC "Oh we're on 53-5, that's not too bad?" FC "No, that's 5-3.. We're fucked!" WELCOME to the MAD

 

 

Smug

Glorifying in being surrounded by MAD

 

 

Making Grandad a Grandad

 

 

Sorry Russ, but you are our senior member. Can't wait to see the fines when the Mini Moo's are good enough to play… {Next year?}

 

 

Batting with Grandfather's bat

Well at least your bat saw some action Russ

Clock watching

Umpiring partnership of death

 

 

 

 

 

We could have won but for Spam & James umpiring together…. and, the opposition, our team, the weather, the number of dogs by the side of the pitch, the ball, the number of spanners in a B&Q toolkit, Duckworth-Lewis, the upcoming double ashes series….

Taking a catch

 

 

 

 

 

Failure to live up to immune nickname… Watching the ball seems to help when trying to catch it! Who would have thought.. It's good to learn something a 3 year old can do in your mid 30's. Right what's next? How do I tell the difference between right and left?
