Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Cyrille, so you play cricket. Hmm. There is in fact an ET XI, captained by the excellent stormy present. Well, when I say XI... If you'd join, perhaps we'd be four or five, and one day there might really be eleven of us and we could get a game!

I played in the French 1st division (OK, there were just two) and am a qualified umpire.
But I am probably extremely rusty -haven't played in around 4 years. I guess my bowling is AWOL, although batting and fielding should still be reasonable.

I used to have pretty good reactions and the ability to catch. I often fielded at silly point, mid on and off cos the batsman knew if he slogged it at me, he was out. It cramped their style down one side of the pitch.
