The closest team to me? That's Gloucestershire. The team that actually play in the City & County of Bristol? That's Gloucestershire. The team that play in a city I've actually been to? That's Gloucestershire. So yep, they're my local team Glos beat Midzex in the hit and giggle cup. Got no interest in this form, but apparently, we always beat them at this game .........so if you like ,they are like City's Fulham !

Yes a good win, although they made slightly harder work of it by losing wickets near the end. Watched it on the live stream, as this one sold out weeks ago. Love all forms of the game, but I know The Blast/Big Bash isn't everyone's cup of tea. Agree about the Fulham thing but, it seems for as long as I can remember (which is a bloody long time!) we seem to have a disproportionate amount of success in any form of the game during the Cheltenham Festival. This festival we have won both our 4 dayers, today's T/20, and we would surely have beaten Glamorgan in last weeks Blast if not for a downpour, which washed out what was left of Glam's innings, and we couldn't start ours. But I remember regularly going up there back in the days of the John Player Sunday League and, however good or bad our season was going we always seemed to win at Cheltenham!

The main reason is ........if I want a football atmos, I go to football. Edited July 25, 2019 by slartibartfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Barely worth it for the amount of games he'll play. He might be free for the Roses T20 in a couple of weeks but that'll be it unless we make Finals Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azhar Ali will drop out. Too much bother un registering Babar and re registering Azhar and then reversing it again apparently.

Whilst he is only contracted for 20/20, Taylor is registered, meaning only one of Ali or Babar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is their local cricket team. Those who live in Bristol outright, it's the team with their HQ in the city (and county) of Bristol. So on your logic, anyone north of the river should support rovers and not city? As that is their local football team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
