[IM Jack Rudd]

My name appears to be missing from the "titled players" section.

Never mind Jack. When you open the batting this year, we'll inform the fast bowler that you are an International Master.

[Simon Brown]

Andrew - I played once as well! Don't recall where or when, except that we bowled first and I didn't bat. Didn't bowl much either....... But must have been pre 1994.

Pretty sure i played in 1998 as an IM. And before as not one.

Guys,we are compiling the stats from the official scorebook, so if you can be more specific we can obviously change things. Scorebooks have a tendency to be wrong occasionally. Sorry.

[Phil Makepeace]

There was definitely a match in 2008. We lost by quite a few runs. I remember getting decent bowling stats of 0/6 off 5 overs but then falling lbw for 2. Charlie Fry got a half-century (53 as I recall) in a mid-innings recovery partnership with Steve Barrett.

[andrew martin]

I too remember that encounter. It was at Liverpool College and it rained for almost the entire length of the match. Malcolm Pein and his son played as honoured guests. Charlie did get a half-century but that didnt stop us from getting soundly beaten.....

Never mind, it was good in the bar afterwards!
