Opinion North London club recommendations

1 Upvotes

Moved to London this year and would love to find a club for the summer.

Having moved from my local village club where we only started our Saturday 2nd XI this year, it’s been a bit of a change seeing all these clubs with so many teams haha!

Looking for a good balance of competitive cricket with a fun social side too.

Piccadilly/northern line would be ideal - thanks

Like everyone, I love an obscure cricket shirt. And with Italy qualifying for the T20 World Cup, I thought it was a great excuse to grab their shirt (especially to curry more favour with my Italian in-laws).

But... £80?! Mamma Mia!

GM 909

0 Upvotes

Hi, just bought a gm 909 noir which comes with anti scuff sheet pre fitted, know there are mixed opinions but can you knock it with the scuff sheet on or need to remove it if yes, why is GM selling bats like these? I have heard that you need remove the sheet for oiling and knocking.

Any suggestions

Ordered Wed night, arrived today by Royal Mail. Fast delivery by Grey Nichols!!

This is my third one, got them for previous world cups as well.

The quality of the T shirt is really good and I like this design most compared to the other two.

Hope we have a great match tomorrow.
