Dear all,

Just to clarify some points raised by the Staff Cricket email I send recently. I'm just trying to get an idea of interest for next year because we'll probably have to contact the fixtures secretary at the end of this season if we want to enter a team. So, I'm not asking whether you'll be able to play all 10 games, I just asking whether you are keen to be involved in a joint Neuroimaging and Psychology team? Also, the standard of cricket caters for all abilities; from the novice to the pro (most teams have a mixture of the two). It's about giving staff and postgrads regular cricket throughout the summer. Enthusiasm is the only prerequisite.

So, don't feel that if you haven't had a trial at County level you'll not get selected for the team. Anyone is welcome. However, that's not to say if you have had a trial at County level you won't be welcome ... absolutely not! Basically, if you can identify at least two pieces of cricket equipment from the following list you'll be more than qualified to play:

BAT, BALL, racket, boomerang, wet-suit, stumps, puck, clay-pigeon, bails, jet-ski, oar, javelin, shuttlecock, cucumber sandwiches.

I look forward to hearing from you, Michael
