In the best traditions of Test Match Special - please mention and continue to add your champagne moments of the 2007 season.

My entry so far is;

Botany Bay v HWCC - Sunday 15th July

Wilkes bowls a head high full bunger which batman tries to leather - only to pop up to extra cover stood about 10 yards away. Thankfully the cricketing knowledge of our esteemed umpire (one of the few on the pitch who knew the laws) prevented both batsman and bowler from further embarassment!

A nice bottle of Moet (which has been in my fridge for nearly 2 years) will be presented to the best entry at the end of the season!

The Champagne Moment is a good idea and in my "watching" position in most matches, I will mentally note anything that is worthy of mention. There's been a few already this season - such as Sam's "negative bowling down the leg side" against Shepperton, Aman being let off the catch money as it was deemed "too hard", Praveen's monster 6 against Paddington, Laney speaking fluent Martian after the same game, and so on - the list will be extensive come the season's end.

Also to be posted on this forum will be the announcement of "International Cake Day" probably at the NPL match - this will be announced in advance so as to hopefully forestall any attempted stitch ups by Johnny W this year!!

I'm sorry - did I read that correctly.

'being let off catch money because it is too hard'..

Never heard anything so ridiculous.

Get your hands up...

I know - when I used to play, U.S. was very strict about anything that even touched a fingernail being deemed to be a "drop" and therefore worth 50 pence. And of all people to let Aman off, it was J.P., the original "Get yer hands up" man.

I'm think of demanding a refund even after all these years! Evil or Very Mad

When we have international cake day - can we run a side book as to how much will be over JP's face at the conclusion of tea!
