[10/08/2026, 23:01:32] James Robinson: 1745 start at Fitz. Sujay Iyer please confirm on Pitchero
[11/08/2026, 14:43:35] Trishant Simlai: Do we have enough players for today? James: My thumb is still quite blue from an injury, I’d prefer to sit out if we have substitutes.
[11/08/2026, 14:44:23] James Robinson: Yes mate no worries we have enough
[11/08/2026, 14:44:36] Trishant Simlai: Thank you!
[11/08/2026, 14:45:33] James Robinson: We have 11 but Faruk Kara and Qaiser Ahmed and Naveen Chouksey if any of you want to play tonight we could do with a bowler
[11/08/2026, 15:38:15] Lahiru Wijedasa: Thumbs are over rated. Think you can get along with 9 digits!
[11/08/2026, 15:57:19] Naveen Chouksey: I could play But Qaiser and Faruk are better bowlers, they would have more priority If they can't make it, I would step in
[11/08/2026, 15:57:21] David Norman: I’m not around at the ground today, so stumps are not out, pitch is obviously the one marked out. Just letting the players know for tonight . Cheers
[11/08/2026, 16:20:49] Lahiru Wijedasa: You're a solid bowler Naveen!
[11/08/2026, 16:21:37] Faruk Kara: You responded first so you should play. I'm playing tomorrow anyway.
[11/08/2026, 16:29:46] James Robinson: Would be very happy to have you Naveen
[11/08/2026, 16:33:26] Qaiser Ahmed: Naveen Chouksey I am playing tomorrow as well, happy for you to pick the spot for today
[11/08/2026, 16:33:45] Qaiser Ahmed: And every bowler has bad days, don't sweat.
[11/08/2026, 16:52:04] Daniel Mortlock: This is turning into an episode of 'Ted Lasso' . . .
[11/08/2026, 17:10:05] Naveen Chouksey: Nowadays I have more bad days than good Thanks, I would play today as well. I am also playing tomorrow But go by Faruk formula and take the spot
[11/08/2026, 17:11:29] Naveen Chouksey: Thanks
[11/08/2026, 20:25:21] Stephen Doel: Naveen bowling with 4 slips. A Remnants record?
[11/08/2026, 20:26:30] Qaiser Ahmed: Oh wow
[11/08/2026, 20:31:21] PGB: Keeper standing up!!
[11/08/2026, 21:03:03] Stephen Doel: And a Robinson hat-trick to wrap things up. Quite the evening
[11/08/2026, 21:09:10] Faruk Kara: Not quite. Against St Barnabas in one game we had 10 players from keeper to point if memory serves me right
[11/08/2026, 21:13:59] Lahiru Wijedasa: Isn't that a no-ball?
[11/08/2026, 21:19:30] Neil Grover: Why would it be?
[11/08/2026, 21:21:07] Lahiru Wijedasa: Sorry misinterpreted but should read 10 players including the keeper. Great thing about captaincy, bringing yourself on once tail is in !
[11/08/2026, 21:49:29] James Robinson: Couldn't see them I'm afraid
[11/08/2026, 21:50:51] James Robinson: Notes for Daniel Mortlock catches were by Martin, myself and Sujay . Their opening bat declined to come back out though retirement was 35
[11/08/2026, 23:01:48] Daniel Mortlock: Some previous examples of big Remnants slips cordons:
[11/08/2026, 23:03:37] Daniel Mortlock: Thanks - and of course well done on the hat-trick!
[11/08/2026, 23:11:43] Naveen Chouksey: Lucky to be part of this group, something to show to my grandchildren
[11/08/2026, 23:13:39] Naveen Chouksey: Well done James Robinson
[11/08/2026, 23:17:37] James Robinson: You bowled really well today, hence the 4 slips! Just unlucky the edges kept going in the gaps
[11/08/2026, 23:21:52] Naveen Chouksey: Thanks
[11/08/2026, 23:56:11] Daniel Mortlock: James Robinson now on the very exclusive list of Remnants hat-tricks: www.remnantscc.net/records/bowling.html#hat-tricks .
[12/08/2026, 00:09:37] Daniel Mortlock: This evening's result also means we've won more matches than we've lost for the first time all season.
[12/08/2026, 08:55:25] Daniel Mortlock: Just had a proper look at the scoresheets from yesterday - the last half hour of the game looks like complete anarchy, with Fen Ditton scoring at the required rate of 10 an over despite losing at least one wicket every over.
[12/08/2026, 09:20:35] Simon Godsill: Thanks anyway - probably means they are in the car somewhere
[12/08/2026, 09:21:04] Simon Godsill: What gaps?
[12/08/2026, 09:35:27] Cam Petrie: Well there were ONLY four slips
[12/08/2026, 10:22:55] Daniel Mortlock: Yesterday seems like another game worth recording for posterity . . . although can probably do that from the WhatsApp chat
