LMS Cricket this weekend - Who's in?!?!

[Adam L]

Great performance Sunday, fellas. Good batting, great fielding and solid bowling all around. We really took it to Marin but came up a bit short in the second half of a long 40 overs. 

With all the people who were missing this week, I am really happy with our performance and to go 1-1 on the day. Lets keep it going this Saturday again in Napa. Our first game is at 9:10, so please try to get there at 8:30 / 8:45 to get started. 

GOOD NEWS: We will be playing on the new, lush green turf pitch this weekend. 

Action for you: Let me know if you can make it or not. 

DUES: $20 per game, so $40 for the day. Ill try to coordinate lunch remotely or bring stuff up in the morning and head out. Ive already paid for the whole season, so if you pay your dues in one lump sum, you get lunch included. Otherwise, $20 per game and a few dollars extra for beer / lunch each day. 

Additional reading… 

Enjoy this write up from the league for the last weekends matches. 

We had a great start to the season last week; thanks for everyone for turning up and playing some great cricket. Four games in a day is quite a marathon so thanks for contributing to a smooth day.

Please read last week's email for general logistics and so on (especially teams playing their first game this week) with the following updates:

Location

We are still at the Napa Expo (see below) but at this stage it looks like we will be playing on the Silverado Field; this is a much smoother & greener surface. When you enter through the gates, it is to the immediate south east of the parking lot.

Time Limits

We struggled a bit with time limits on Sunday; if not for one game finishing very quickly we would have been in trouble. Kumar and I will be stricter on times this week. We will be giving regular updates and asking teams to speed up if falling behind.

Local Rules

We had some issues last week with the ball hitting the raised edge of the pitch; effective from this week, these will be the local rules:

1. A bowled ball hitting the edge of the pitch and "ricocheting" off will be called a wide, but no byes will be allowed.

2. A throw return that hits the edge of the pitch and ricochets off will be dead at that point (any runs completed or in progress will be counted but no further runs).

Uniforms

The Halal Bros are a new team and are still waiting on their uniforms, so they will be granted exception to LMS tops for the next three weeks until their uniforms arrive. They still need to wear the 'same' tops and the 'same' trousers/shorts. All other teams are expected to be in LMS tops.

This week's schedule

As always, any questions or comments let me know.

[Adam L]

Alright, Fellas. We are 1 month away from our first match. Seals take on Napa Valley Cricket Club in the Vino Cup this year on Sunday, June 10 in Napa, at the fairgrounds. 

Just at this point, I wanted to put it out there to see who is available that weekend. There is no GGAFL that week so hopefully we get a good turnout. 

What I need from you: 

At this point, let me know if you are available and interested in playing. 

Thats all. Ill work with the captain to set a line up and handle the rest of the logistics in the coming month. 

Thanks for your prompt or eventual response.

Alright, Fellas 

The most important day of the year is nearly upon us! We get to go stand around in a field in Napa for about 3 hours, and then sit on the boundary and watch our teammates hit for another three hours and get shitfaced. Its the Annual Vino Cup and we are ready to bring the cup back to San Francisco! 

Right now, we have 10 confirmed in and would like to get a couple extra. 

- Jack Tse 

- Gwynn Hoskins 

- Craig McGree 

- Brad Busch 

- Adam Linke 

- Josh Dawson 

- Jackson Burnie 

- Chris Miceli 

- Tejas Potdar 

- Benny Kappler 

WHAT: SF Seals v. NVCC (35 Overs)

WHEN: Sunday, June 10 @ 9:30am 

WHERE: Napa Valley Fairgrounds 

HOW MUCH: Match Day fees around $25-30 per person

Ill be driving up and should have an extra two or three seats. Anyone else thinking about carpooling? Wine tasting? Spa day after? 

Please confirm your availability and we will see you Saturday! 

Thanks
