Crossers may be aware that the Australian selectors have been searching far and wide for prospective test cricketers and have been made aware of the our long term success of Shannon and more recently Pat. As a result they have demanded either their return or Cross provide an equal replacement.
A straw poll revealed one CA Smith to be our most "Australianesque" member and we have opted to ship him off for an initial two year tenure. He'll be working as a doctor to augment any potential lack of runs.
As a result CA is determined to end 16 years of hurt and finally overall his twin in the run scoring stakes. Rumours that his initial goal of outscoring The Prince (CJE) was quickly downgraded to out-scoring EC have been denied by his "people".
As it stands there is 1 league game and one cup final left
League runs:
EC Smith: 223
CA Smith: 165
CA Smith: 165
Non League runs:
EC Smith: 83
CA Smith: 187
EC - 306
CA - 352
I'm unsure which carries more weight, league runs? Cup runs are still "first class" so do they all count?
Either way it's game on for the next two matches.......................SMITH OFF!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhilst that photo of McElderry makes me chuckle every time I look at it, I've found a close contender for likeness to our Cap'n at this unfeasibly long web address.
