Cricket Season approaching

Ray Wells...a name from my past.

When I played for Kemp Town many moons ago, we played Newhaven in the Brighton League Div 1. There were no real rules on who could or could not play so when our Sri lankan number 5 asked if his cousin could play, we were short so we said OK. Turns out he was a student who went on to play for the test side......we went into bat, got 294 for 2, he hit 150odd and then we bowled them out for 70 odd with him taking 6 for 17 and at one point there was only him in front of the batsman, I was at first slip about 40 yards back!

Wells wrote to LORDS to complain about our total lack of respect for the spirit of the game and threatened to have the league suspended. My how we all chuckled in the league commitee meeting following.

Happy days

Ray Wells, so far as I could tell was a bit of a DICK, with a big chip on his shoulder. Having two brothers [Alan and Colin] who played first class cricket and being the RUBBISH one obviously didn't sit well with him, so he strutted around all self-important as the captain of Newhaven. Actually I think Ray's EGO was the captain of Newhaven.

Seaford took a couple of old Newhaven players a season or two back. I used to play at Brighton and Hove with Bob Sennick, who played for seaford for a few years.

Played there many times, only really enjoyed it back end of the summer as May and June used to be bloody freezing cold!!!! Once got 135 not out there in a cup game back in the early 80's......ah them were the days when I could see the ball

Jolly John Smith and Clive Chipper. John is still going and will get wickets and runs in county league 3 east this year but Clive has retired from playing but is the Chairman.

Seaford can be a grim place to play at times, but there aren't many places that you can cool off after a game with a quick swim.

P.s. I'll introduce myself on the train sometime, but you are always with other people which makes me very scared.

To be fair, Dave is quite scary.

Clive and I were good mates. We used to play midweek cricket together. John and I had our moments...I always enjoyed playing against him, we even went nose to nose once when I smacked him into the Dripping Pan from the Convent field........We always had a beer afterwards even though we questioned eachothers parantage manay times on the field of play. Didn't his son also play?

Come and say hello...we are not scary really!!!

Sometimes I feel like playing for the vets. I play for the 2's. Very happy with that, get a bat at #4 and first change for 15 overs of canny spin to tie up one end...get asked to play for the 1sts, but batting number 8 and getting 5 overs is not my idea of £6 well spent!

Did you play against St Peters away last season? If you did then I was playing against you.

 

[Scoffers]

I played against Newhaven when Peacehaven had a league side, god a hated their pitch !

last time I played against St Peter's was when matty Knight still played before he "ahem" stopped playing. Couple of years ago now. I think your firsts play in the Second Divi dont they with our firsts ( who got relegated to teh 3rd divi last year)....I play for the two's in div 6

In 25 years of adult cricket, I've played against many, many idiots. It would be unfair to single out one. In honesty I take no umbrage at people acting like twats in League cricket, which I gave up years ago. What really winds me up is CHEATING or BAD SPORTSMANSHIP in a Sunday match.

Probably Bells Yew Green's 2nd XI captain, bit of a twat.

What division you playing in this season? 8 and you'll be playing against him, 10 and you've got us.

Mark is the east Sussex League Treasurer, LLoyd I think retired a while ago.

Ric, is Taffy the umpire still around?
