Currency collection and Cricket...

I think I have an olf French Franc bank note... so so old but cannot use anymore... would that interest you?
Not about Cricket though... I think I prefer RUGBY :)
Good luck anyway,
JJ

Thanks JJ. I will be delighted to have the old French Franc. Very kind of you. You could reach me on 13226005567.

Love and luck
Sumiy

Now there's an idea. Are there enough Poms, Aussies, Kiwi's, South Africans and Indians living in Zhuhai to have a fun afternoon of cricket ... and the camera club can come along to record how bad we are. All we need then is Sumit to toss the coin to sort the teams.

ha ha ha

可怕的不是进步速度慢，而是止步不前
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still

Have found at least 8 blokes that are keen for a bash of Aussie backyard cricket. Rules are as follows:

One hand off the house: Catches must be taken one-hand if the ball comes off the house/tree/fence. Extra congratulations will be awarded if ball is caught with a beer in one hand
Six and out: If you hit it over the fence you're out and you have to get the ball.
No LBWs: Too contentious, unless someone agrees to umpire.
You can't go out first ball: This is to stop your mate from blubbing or to give ya missus a chance.
Last man's tucker: You can bat by yourself if you are the last remaining batsman.
Tippity run: You have to run if you hit it.
Magic wickets: You can run out a batsman batting alone by hitting the wicket at either end.
Automatic runs: If you hit certain backyard landmarks - a fence or shed perhaps - you are awarded a prearranged number of runs.
One hand one bounce: Catches can be taken one-hand if the ball only bounces once
Spilt Beer: Ideally, the offending batsman should apologise profusely and offer to replace the vanquished stubbie. Fat Chance. The feat prompts shitloads of laughter, and the usually triumphant "Get me one while you're at it!"
Courtesy Call: Always invite the chicks to have a bat. They usually say no, but on the odd occasion, they do take a grip of the willow. You can bowl a couple of dollies to her so she can hit before ending this freakish sideshow with a yorker. Most chicks hold a bat as if they're chopping wood, and they bowl as if throwing left-handed. And they can't handle yorkers. Still, someone has to make the salad.

I don't have any idea what most of what you said means because I have never played the game, but I do like a good beer and can translate the Spilt Beer rule into other sporting events in which I do partake. So if you need another warm male body to stand around the yard and attempt one handed grabs, count me in too.

Mate, you are more than welcome to join us, i will be posting in 'events' real soon. So we can get more people to join and have a great social day of cricket,beer & bbq.

More on the rules here:

Most people don't understand the Aussies. That's probably why we win so often ;-) BYC! Great Stuff, let's get it up!

yes doc the aussies are no 1 in cricket. there is no doubt about that.But the indian team are also not less,we beat them in the 20/20's . i dont know if u saw that match.

Yes, I watched that match live on satellite at Ryans bar. 20/20 What the hell is that? As we say in Aus "It's just not cricket'. We will see you in the test matches ............... ;)

Well done king,
I am in. King, thanks very much for the rules. It will be great if you could post it on "events". I am sure there are a few more cricket enthusiasts.

May be Gope should sponsor the beer. He is into food business and I am sure his restaurant makes good money. In return, we will wear the logo of Jewels of India....

Doc, Anu, Gope- hope you guys are listening...ddblough, you are welcome too. We all can help you learn. If you have played baseball before, you shouldn't have too much problem learning cricket.

Sumit

Hi Sumit, I didn't get to see the match. Kinga, 20/20 is a new innovation in cricket, I think it's like a limited over match with fewer players, I didn't pay much attention to it when I first heard about it, can some give more detail?

regards,

Yes it had ruined the very fabric of the game, Its played with a max of 20 overs, with DJ's, dancers and special prizes. Also we suck at it !

Gope....you are such a sport.Thanks very much.

King...hurry up before the validity of sponsorship expires....

Let all enthusiasts give their mobile numbers to King. There has to be a someone to coordinate things. I think he is the best choice...since he is an aussie...and seems most enthusiastic too....

My number is 13226005567.

Sumit

Mine is 136 7609 8458
