Wickman's Week - Tuesday late

What a day for cricket. Nets were lively. 25 people there? A promising debut from Jimmy C's flatmate. Very correct. Reminds Wickman of Matthew Elliott. Let's hope he doesn't come on tour, tell his wife/girlfriend about a top twin batsman's indiscretions and spend years in the wilderness - ALLEDGEDLY. Actually there aren't any twins down the Wick apart from the Nicholls twins and they don't play cricket. Plus Wickman can't see Keith letting them tour. Plus they wouldn't come. They are far too sophisticated. Some top quality work tonight. Fielding practice was excellent under Kam's eager eye. Wickman saw a number of subs cheques pass into Dom the Treasurer's sweaty palms. The cheques were even signed and dated 2007! Cor. Il Presidente de la Republica de la Wick was in the bar afterwards. Annnnndy Mooray was also there, wearing what looked like a luminescent lime on his head to protect himself against the short ball. He needn't have worried. There is less bounce in those nets than you would find in your great grandmother's brassiere.

not technically true wickman. Ive been hit on the head a plenty in those bad boys. swart cleaned me out once. and i think charlie has hit me once. jimmy c is my nemesis also, his natural length is the bit where the grass ends and turf begins, and it flies over my head every time.

Fair play.

Wickman was not just cleaned up, but folded, packaged and despatched by courier by Shaun who managed to embarrass him with a scuttler.

It was so low the leader of a troupe of travelling limbo dancers claimed it would have knocked his head off.
