Badgers Cricket Club – Home Page

We played two T20 games at Banstead last weekend, one on the back pitch whilst the women were playing on the main pitch and the other on the main pitch after they had finished but using black sightscreens and a pink ball – whoever decided that those were a viable replacement for the normal red ball clearly did so for other than cricketing reasons – and the Badgers won both of those games. However, as things stand I can only offer you the details on our Play-Cricket site because two games on the same day has broken things in a number of interesting ways across my whole code base and it may well take some considerable time to fix them all.

A return to a once regular opponent in Stoke D'Abernon saw the Badgers notch up yet another defeat, this time in a game that we really should have made a better fist of. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

Last Sunday saw the Badgers visit a new opponent in Bookham, who play on one of the oddest shaped grounds I have ever encountered, and go down to another defeat in a close fought contest. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

PLEASE NOTE that the game originally scheduled for this weekend has been replaced by a visit to old foes Stoke d'Abernon. Usual details on the fixtures page.

Last Sunday’s scoring record is still being worked on due to issues with both Play-Cricket Scorer and the paper scorebook. I am nearly there but needed to announce the fixture change before it was too late, so there may be another update before we leave for the game tomorrow.

There was no game last Sunday, due to our inability to raise even half a team, and the yearly pilgrimage to Ruxley Lane did not go well for the Badgers the weekend before with a heavy defeat on the field being followed by Ollie’s motorbike being stolen from the car park. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.
