Re: Flintoff’s cricket team
And @Arise - f you should happen to talk to Reg again, let him know that not only did I play for 30 odd years across 3 different continents, I also sat my ECB coaching badges in the UK in my early twenties and coached the under 15s at my local club as I recognised the importance of coaching at youth level. Very proud to say that despite never making it myself, one player I had in my U15s team went on to play for Warwickshire.
All down to the impact of my time at Lowerhouse.

We watched episodes 2&3 tonight. Really enjoyed them. Thought Freddie did a brilliant job and well done to him for putting a substantial amount of his own money in. Hopefully it will have benefitted those young lads as they progress through life.

That says Vernon Carus 1st XI. I doubt any of Flintoff's lads were involved.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:44 amNot going so well for the team.

Yeah, just checked and they have 4 teams playing.TheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:58 amThat says Vernon Carus 1st XI. I doubt any of Flintoff's lads were involved.
Hardly fits in with notion of nobody playing cricket around there.
Neither does there seem justification in the council spending 150k on the club.
I thought they were restarting the club from scratch.

Re: Flintoff’s cricket team
Excellent news, a moving first series in which Flintoff more than answered his many critics. A tough task making a cricket team out of urban ruffians but Freddy did it (nearly?)

Re: Flintoff’s cricket team
Quite a successful club Vernon’s. Dominated the Palace Shield for decades. Also had some very good players, I think Tom Bailey was registered as an amateur this year. Still do relatively well now.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:09 amYeah, just checked and they have 4 teams playing.
