AJ Bradman
Shuaib
Nawaz
Hitman
Shaf
Gasherbrum
Farid??

[Rudi hater]

Match will be in Peterborough (cambridgeshire) between Leicester and London.

It takes 45 mins from London by train and from Birmingham it takes 1hr 15 mins by car, I guess from Manchester it will take 2 hrs 30 mins at the most by car.

[Rudi hater]

huh!!!!!

[suhaib]

can it be in london instead

[Rudi hater]

I asked Farid but he could not organise one so I organised one here Im sure we will have matches all over UK, London, Manchester, Birmingham etc etc.

[Saqlain_doosra]

AJ and Bradman are same guys GR

[Rudi hater]

Oops, he is I releaised that now.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lol long trip for Amjad.
waquas_uk i think said he would come.
sad i cant be with u guys.

I was on the original but seemed to have been lost in the transfer! Anyway looking at my current fitness levels and current work and family commitments it may be wise not to don the whites again.

However I will come to spectate and play in the nets!

[MIG]

GR: I will combine the 2 threads, as they seem to be talking about the same thing? ( Friendly Match is the other thread )

[Officer Barbrady]

I will be the third (television) umpire.

[Gasherbrum]

Ghafoor bhai ... the only problem is i live in Toronto ...

[Schiller]

I was wondering too Gasher :-D

I am here guys, I have heard from Farid, unfortunately, his dad could not attend the meeting he suppose to have with the club. Amjid and myself will organise a match sometime in late April we might have two three games depending on how things plan out. Amjid's team is willing to host us and my team here too is happy to play PP. Hopefully, we will be getting together in two months time inshallah.

LOL. I hope I don't perform like that. But still I do need to lose some weight, I have put quite some on since last summer. I joined the gym before Xmas but couldn't go as often over the festive period cos I was working too much over-time. From now I will try to go very regularily and I'm still trying to get myself to go on a crash course diet. I LOVE food too much

SD,yes it is on Saturday but people perfered it to be on saturday as this will give them an extra day to relax for those who work etc. Also there is problem on Sundays travling by trains or any other public transport. Im sure people can skip one match for getting together, what do you think?

[Rudi hater]

Ok, it looks like we are left with only 6-7 players now, come on guys show some commitment to PP.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

14th may should be fine -

[Saqlain_doosra]

We need squad of 15 players. PLease put your name forward for the squad. It will be great day out for every one

[Abdul Qadir 236]

damn i wanted SD to play against bits and pieces amjid and amjad and get them first ball!

[suhaib]

sorry i cant come if its out of london.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Me bits and pieces? *** - am a technically correct batter - have perfected the front foot forwrd defensive push,
must attack the spinners though!!!!

[Rudi hater]

We are left with:

SD
Waqar
Ghafoor
AJ Bradman
Nawaz??
Hitman?
Shaf??

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Yes Amjad is the Azhar of PP and Amjid Hafeez lol
saqi d and i would be deadly.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Amjad, i will be at school from 6 to 7:30 tonight helping out on open night for economics!
will u be on after then?
would love to talk to u.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

yeah no probs


i would back myself and AJ to deal with the spin bowling!!! - aj to take the afridi approach!!!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

achah hai yaar

14th is a Saturday. That means I wouldn't be able toplay for my club. I'll have to think about it cos it is neccasary for me to make a good impression on my captain early on as I didn't have the best of seasons last year.

I will let you know when I'm done thinking about it.

P.S: Sunday would have been ideal.

[Amjid Javed]

:-^ seems hitman is lacking commitment and playing s akthar role in team

|-F |-F

[pakistani pride]

hahahaa lol !

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

AJ - sniping at his rivals!!!!! in the side

[Abdul Qadir 236]

AJ is the Shoaib I think.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

AJ - the aamir sohail of the bunch

[Rudi hater]

OK, if I don't get a side up by April 1, I'll have to cancell the match I'm afraid.

[pakistani pride]

Who are the fast ballers ???

[Rudi hater]

There AJ and a few others bowlers. At the moment it seems we are not getting a team together.

[pakistani pride]

thats ##### well i live in holland so its quite hard to come.....

[Rudi hater]

it takes an hour from holland. so come on.

[Amjid Javed]

am a swing bowler, not fast bowler.

[pakistani pride]

an hour wth the plane yes but then where will i stay ?

[Rudi hater]

ok Rana.

[Saqlain_doosra]

We should convince Gary to come

[pakistani pride]

can you answer ghafoor cause i would love to play maybe you all shud come perhaps there is another tournament in holland !

[Saqlain_doosra]

If pakistan is playing. i'm sure will organise something. PP if can you organise match in Holland?

[pakistani pride]

so you mean if i can organise you guys would come ?

[Rudi hater]

I would come to Holland to play if you want. I actually did practice with some of the lads in nets two days before the match started. Can you organise one then?

[pakistani pride]

Well that would be a huge task ! i like your enthiusam but i would not be able to do it...

[pakistani pride]

its quite hard to arganise here in holland . Fooball is easy but cricket well.....

Where i live you have to travel for hours to find a cricket ground......

[Rudi hater]

Im having difficulty getting a team together now everyone was so keen before but now that I have managed to oroganise one we have only handful left.

[pakistani pride]

Will you guys play against an other team?

[Rudi hater]

Yeah against my own club, I will play for PP if it materialise and then AJ was saying he will organise one with his team but lets see what happens?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ghafoor - main prob is the date - most ppl have exams in may/early june - after that evryone should inshallah be free

[Saqlain_doosra]

PP my dad lived in Holland for few years. I now there are few grounds arounf Amsterdam. I seen few my slf while visiting my dad

[Rudi hater]

So shall I cancel the match??? SD Bahi after May/June every one is busy playing and I don't think any club would be willing to play friendly since there are not many weeks free after May.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ghafoor bhai could we get 22 ppers to play a game at a more suitable date and play a pp game!!!

I'll probably still come if it's on a Saturday, but ideally it would be on a Sunday.

I'm on a gap year at the moment hence I have no problem with regards to having exams.

[Rudi hater]

oh well my club asking me to confirm the fixture I need to know how many can make on that day???

GR is it at all possible to change this fixture to a Sunday?

[Rudi hater]

04 september but then I dont know what would be the weather like?

I would definitely come on that SUnday and I'm sure most people would as it doesn't intervene with exams or Satuday club cricket and most people who go for a holiday should be back by then.

But I might still be able to come IF you decide to arrange a fixture for the 14th of May

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

04 sept would be great - no exams inshallah

also what about idea of 22 ppers

[Gasherbrum]

its raining on the 14th of may ...

[Rudi hater]

:-^ I have given up on this now. |-F

GR bhai, give it a bit more time, maybe a week or two. See how many people respond

[Rudi hater]

ok

[Saqlain_doosra]

I think CT wanted to play as well. We need few more guys . COme on people don't be shy, no one will eat you

[Amjid Javed]

just make a list of peeps who are 100% available

[Saqlain_doosra]

Come on lads I have exams too. I'm still willing to play

[Rudi hater]

Club have been at my back they are preparing a pitch for the day but now i have to cancel, i asked them to pencil us down provisionally. So come on guys don't let PP down.

[HAFRIDI]

good luck guys hope u enjoy the day out, im disappointed i cant make it due to transport probs, would have been nice to face aj!

[Rudi hater]

Haroon you would have been playing with AJ not against him.

[Amjid Javed]

GR, i will spk 2 my skipper 2nite 2 see if i can organize a sunday game in manchester during the season.

[Rudi hater]

ok

[shikari]

I cant make it but can someone stream a live video fo the game

[Rudi hater]

Kya app Shikar par Ja rahe hain Shikari sahab. :-)

[Abdul Qadir 236]

why dont u all come here for the icc trophy!
and play while ur at it lol

[Rudi hater]

bump!!!

[Jedi Knight]

When have we got to let u know by???

Cos i'm the skipper of my team and if we have match that day I cant come, however, if we have no match then i'll definately come down to Peterborough and I can bring 2/3 other players as well.

I can also arrange for a match in East London if anyone is interested...

[Rudi hater]

Let me know asap please.

[Amjid Javed]

come on guys GR, has put alot off effort in here and peeps are letting him down! am sure every1 can miss 1 league game for a friend.

i can!

[Rudi hater]

Thanks AJ I am hoping we will get together and have a great day. Next match can be in Manchester (I hope).

Count me in anyday. I will come as a spectator with whites. Therefore like superman I can don them in a flash if required!
