Having had his Blackberry confiscated by Mr Admin, he's been forced to post pseudonymously on the Cricket Scotland website in order to communicate to his clubmates:

Standards
An open letter to all Crossers.
Gents,
My patience has finally snapped and I feel I must make this plea before it’s too late (especially given Broonster's snide reference to this matter in his recent match report). Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed a worrying lack of focus and commitment amongst Crossers, combined with the longstanding technical issues that have afflicted the club since the 1950s. As a club we MUST raise our standards: otherwise what’s left of the club's reputation will be lost. Some of the complacent chatter at yesterday’s game (especially from Mr Admin and Ziggy) suggested that they simply hadn’t grasped the seriousness of the matter. As for the attitudes expressed by the likes of Smudger, pvb and Coco, well words fail me - but they are surely clear evidence of the tide of relativism sweeping this club and this nation.
If anyone needs assistance with these matters feel free to contact me.
Otherwise PLEASE follow these instructions at ALL times: (and please do NOT accuse me of 'stirring' it).

Dismal Cross Toss Away Final Chance
Result from SCU Trophy Semi:
At Arboretum.
Holy Cross Academicals 185-6 (50 overs)
C. Ellis 54, S.Pickering 29
NOSCA 186-5 (34.3 overs)
R. Main 45
D. Wolton 43
More details to follow once I've calmed down a bit.
In summary, on a difficult wicket (on which 185 should have taken some getting), the first 7 overs from the Newfield end went for 76 runs with a mixture of full bungers and slow long hops and full bungers and full bungers ... As bad a series of overs that I've seen bowled at Arbo (and I've seen plenty Dyer efforts). Rather frustrating given the hard work we'd put in to get our runs.
Apologies to our supporters (Coco, pvb, Mark B, Mahmood, Michael) who had to witness such garbage.
