Great sub-pro signing for Lowerhouse for tomorrow

An excellent signing, Durham's loss was Lancashire's gain, will be a bit sharp for Lancs League batters.

Two sub pros against Burnley this weekend. Qaisar Abbas in for Tod.

House have Ashar Zaidi for the WC Semi on Sunday vs Crompton also.

Good bowler but has sadly been unfortunate with injuries.

Seems to be having a good season for a struggling Lancs team. I wonder if he's back on England's radar.

Edit: just seen that he's 35 so probably not. Didn't realise he was that old.

In June 2013, Scotland played Durham in the old 40 over Tournament, leading to the following scorebook entry...

Coleman Ct. Mustard B. Onions 0 !

Don’t think he’s that quick. He’ll certainly nibble it around though.

Have lowerhouse got him as a bowling pro or a batting pro for this Saturday I bet he is not cheap

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Fri Jul 06, 2018 3:29 pm

I don’t think the fee will be a problem for Lowerhouse with the amount of people they’ve encouraged to attend various events over the last few years.

If we can attract the likes of this bloke as sub pro all is well.

Its called paying over the odds not attracting him !!!
So how many pros will the house be playing at Turf Moor.

As it is Graham had to pull out following a late call up to play his first T20 game in 4 years.

In respect of paying over the odds, he was no more expensive than the standard sub pro “I just want to bowl plenty of overs mate, keep me ticking over”.

Who have you got this afternoon to replace Onions?

From the LHCC FB page:

Morning all, you may have noticed that last night Graham Onions played for Lancs in their win at Derbyshire. That means he’s unavailable today but we are delighted to say we have Walkden’s Akbar ur Rahman in our game against Burnley! #UTH

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 11:27 am

Lowerhouse hoping to spring a surprise on Burnley with the Onions signing, but with the latest news I fear that's shallot.
Come on Burnley!

Oh I don't doubt it for a second Ziz, but if we are going to lose any game of the 3 we play this weekend, this would be my choice, even though I hate losing to Lowerhouse.
Much rather win tomorrow in the Worsley Cup semi at Tod, to follow last nights 20/20 quarter final win.

4-45 with the ball too! What a grand day out it was at Turf Moor today with the footy as well.

You must be getting used to the feeling of defeat at the hands of the House by now BRR.Nothing beats a win against Burnley on their own ground.

UTH

Worsley Cuo Semi Final at Home to Crompton today for the House. Another bumper crowd expected. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, get yourselves down 1pm start

Sadly you are right LR, but I can console my self with the DECADES of Poorhouse CC being in our shadow. Hopefully we'll get chance for revenge in the Worsley Cup final.

Oh yes you mean those decades when you had to qualify to play for a club by being born or live or work within a certain distance of the ground.The crucial one was work.This meant Burnley could play all the university educated solicitors,accountants and other professional people who worked in the centre of Burnley.Superhouse could call only on the foundry labourers at Butts & Dicks good lads but only had 2 bats and2 boxes between them.

"Only One Team in Burnley" UTH

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Jul 08, 2018 12:26 pm

So,lowerhouse CC could only call upon the honest yeoman of foundry workers at Butts & Dicks up until 2004, when you eventually won a trophy worth winning? The thought of poor Stan Heaton (or even my own brother to my eternal shame) shoveling coal into a blazing furnace has reduced me to tears!

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Sun Jul 08, 2018 12:49 pm

There was a factory in Burnley called Butts and Dicks. Please, please, please let there be photographic proof of this. (Yes, I am a child).

Apparently so, and all employees played cricket for Lowerhouse!

Butterworth and Dickinsons I think

Well, that is a disappointment.

Anyway - how's the Worsley Cup going? Are we on for a Lowerhouse-Burnley final? Where is the final this year?

I understand that Lowerhouse have already won, and will host the final, according to their twitter feed ...... don't know the result of the other semi - final as yet !!

Not as many as Bumley CC.Would have preferred to play Tod as they would have brought more support.

One, the same as Burnley, unless you are counting former full time Lancs League pros as pros in which case we will be playing two.........the same number as Burnley.
