    Happenings
  • Following his self-destructive golden duck, Rog Moore became the first MBCC player to captain, bowl, sledge, take a catch and win a match as skipper (dancer?) wearing the XXXX Golden Bikini.

  • A good all-round social match for Chris Kettlewell
  • Agressive, efficient bowling from the first four MBCC bowlers: Doug Alley, Dave Budd, Oli Thomas and Matt Fisher
  • Adam Gilchrist, TLG, TLF, Unit and Legend, announced his retirement from all cricket (this is nothing to do with MBCC, simply to acknowledge a Legend Of The Baggy Green, although we may be able to make a 2008/09 place available if Gilly wants it).
