    I haven't played since I left England back in 2004 and I don't have any 'whites' or kit any more but I'd give it a go if you need an old, fat medium-pace 'trundler'. :) PM me if you get something going!

    Funny you mentioned that... I just saw a group of guys playing cricket behind my House near Mill Run Elementary. That was just this past weekend... or was that you and some friends OHMH?

    I would play trundler too! I would recommend taking a look over there this weekend, late in the day if that was not you. Maybe too hot but what the heck.

    If you guys play, post the times and location, I would love to watch, I've seen one match before and I thought it was interesting.

    Wow - this is "out there" enough to be interesting. I have no idea how to play or what a "trundler" is, but I have a goalie mask and a lacross stick - does that help?

    Are you going to play those weekend-long contests (or whatever they are called)? I spent 2 1/2 years in London, right down the road from the Queen's cricket grounds in the West End and I still never figured that game out.

    does anyone have a bat/wickets? We could use a tennis ball given that we have mainly "trundlers".

    Potential time slot: Sat or Sun between 9 & noon
    Location: Hillside Baseball field

    If this actually happens, please post the location and time in this thread. I'm sure some folks, including myself, wouldn't mind dropping by just to watch. I worked with quite a few cricket fanatics and would love to actually see in person what they keep bragging about at work!
