Besides me? The camaraderie. The social aspect of it is great. |
One Thing You Would Change About Calgary Cricket:
| |
Well,…. I’m sure there’s no corruption going on or bending of the
rules anywhere so I would have to say, the incessant appealing for
absolutely nothing on every. Single. Ball.; the length of the grass at
Riley; the relationship with the city; the fact that the league meetings
never start on time, never finish on time, and never deal with what the
meetings are supposed to be about. Tangents and non-sequitur monologues
at those meetings. The fact that there are only 5 fields for what feels
like a bazillion players. The disrespect for umpires. Oh, sorry. One
thing? How about players playing in jeans in the weekday league. |
Ideas To Help The Club:
| |
Although Robbo’s idea is great, I’m thinking we need a Miss Havisham
or an Abel Magwitch. A Pavillion that we control would be fantastic. But
the easiest would be to have more people from the club volunteer to
help out the club whether it’s with fund raising ideas, fund raising,
umpiring, volunteering, etc. It seems like it’s getting blood from the
same stones after a while. |
All Time Favourite Cricketer:
| |
Got into the game a bit late but Michael Hussey and Adam Gilchrist.
Cook for his 2010 Ashes batting. Viv Richards after watching Fire in
Babylon. Maybe Vettori. I try to emulate Alex Robertson in bowling and
Tony Pasternak in running between the wickets. |
Other Sporting Heroes:
| |
Did Robbo put Ledley King down?! If you wanted someone without any knees you should have picked the catcher from Major League. Hakan
Loob; Zinedine Zidane; Dennis ‘watch out Argentina’ Bergkamp; Thomas
Voekler; Peter Forsberg; Hasek pre-1998; any knuckleball pitcher;
Clarence Seedorf for longevitiy; Xabi Alonso; Steven “you gotta be in it
to win it” Bradbury; Dirk Kuijt; Nigel De Jong’s drop kicks; Klaas Jan
Huntelaar |
Goals For 2015 Season:
| |
Maybe hit a 6
| |

Storey (editor’s note: I put this here). Um? Cricinfo? | |

Fantastic Mr. Fox; Field of Dreams; Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou; Shawshank. |
Anything Else To Add:
| |
If you have any international trade negotiations you need handling,
Robbo’s your man. Also, I’m certain that Storey has either a) edited
this or b) told me to change some things. I’ll let you know.-
Editors note: I have changed or requested the change of nothing!
