REX vs EASTERN's charity cricket match

[porn star]

Apparently Easterns have challenged REX to a cricket match to be held in Sydney at COMO on TUES FEB 8.

It will be a 30 overs per side match, with each member of each team required to bowl at least two overs.

Rex management have apparently come to the party saying that they will donate 5$ per run that rex scores, to go to a tsunami benefit fund.

There will be BBQ and beers during the course of the afternoon, and more beers and a presentation at the COMO HOTEL after the game.

Sounds like a bit of a laugh!

Fifty bucks?

[Pimp Daddy]

Challenged Eastern's what?

It's Eastern Australia Airlines or Eastern

Get your finger off the "s" key.

Now that's out of the way - how much is Eastern kicking in?

[Near Miss]

Knowing E'sAA (sorry PD), probably just the 12 players. :ugh:
Seriously though it should be a great game to watch. With any luck I will be there.
So when does the betting start? I reckon Rex by 25 runs.

[Howard Hughes]

Come on who you trying to kid?

Rex will be late!!;)

Eastern will arrive with their equipment unservicable!!;)

Cheers, HH.

:ok:

[blueblah]

good Idea to make everyone wear their uniform. Thats if the uniforms at Rex still have those shocking ties!!

[hoss]

I'm going to try and make it there:) . Look forward to seeing some old faces and a great day out.

See you there:ok:

ps. I'm rooting for Eastern.................Australia Airlines;)

[Pinky the pilot]

Hoss; You're WHAT??????:confused:
Don'tcha mean 'barracking?'
Unless.......no....I don't think I'll go there....!

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

[chief wiggum]

well good luck to both. Hopefully EAA/QF management will match rex's generous offer and it will be an enjoyable day for all , with some much needed $$$$ to charity.

Apart from the fact that EAA already have an "established" cricket club, my money is on REX. They have given to QF for the last couple of years in the regional market, solely thru their employees, and methinks that if they apply that same sort of enthusiasm on this day, then EAA are in for a buttkicking!

[TWOTBAGS]

Betting comp is on.

Easterns Boys contact big Ev @ the sim, he is real quick (well he was once).

I will put up $5 per person that HE (Ev) Bowls out DD to GPL.

Its shame this did not happen back in the Hardware House & Kmart days..... now that would have been fun:E

Wished i still lived in oz to see this one:{ :ok: :E :E

[hoss]

Pinky the pilot:ok: ,

'rootin' 'barracking' 'going for' etc.

Slowly becoming Americanised:) .

[splatman]

Twottbags,

Thanks for dobbing me in - now I have a cricket game to play on a Rostered Day Off.

Seriously - quick 8 years ago (maybe) - the only thing thats quick now is the rate at which my hair is falling out.

Should be a good day - Bring on the BEERS.

Oh - yeah - I believe the nice shiney kookaburra will be thrown my way, hope I can keep it on the pitch.

Oh - and we will be in contact for any donations to the Tsunami fund.:ok:

[Hugh Jarse]

Pinky, if you know Hoss' current situation, he is indeed rooting:}

Dirty bastard:{

[hoss]

and she's a femme fatale PPRuNer as well;) .

I am aware of some REX crew already in training for this day, your secret is out:) .

[Transition Layer]

Como - What a great venue for a social game of cricket. When I played there 'twas not uncommon for the the twelfth man to be seen standing on the balcony of the pub with a beer in his hand. And after the match, nothing like walking into the pub with the whites on and grass stains on your pants. Gold...

A tip guys - if the tide is up, have a bowl first, rumour has it that the ball swings around a bit more.

Sick em Rex!!!

[Pinky the pilot]

Hugh Jarse;" I don't wish to know that!!!"
Would'st thou perchance be somewhat jealous??:D
Some people have all the luck!!:E :E

Oh yes; Sic 'em Rex

[whogivesa????]

How much does beer cost, and will there be "cheer sqauds" there?

Anyone know the exazct ground name/location so I can come and whatch ?

[Swear Engine Twenty3]

If Porn Star is who I think he is, god help em' on the end of a bat at Eastern.

This mans mans rep for bowling at indoor cricket preceeds him, go gently with the Dash lads Porno boy :)

A word of advise, don't take ya eye off the ball.......

[porn star]

23 ....

I know who you are talking about, but it is not me :p

Should be a good game tho.

Format is :

22 overs per team, with EVERY team member to bowl two overs -

NO Ducks -

BAtsman (and women) must retire at 35, but may comer back in at the end of the innings if there are overs remaining -

Drinks breaks to be taken at the request of the umpires ..... or bowlers.... or fielders.... or batsmen ....... or seagulls -

Drinks and presentations after the game at the COMO HOTEL-

'Kick off" at 1300 SHARP!!!!!!

:ok:

[cloud nine]

Oh BEE-HAVE!



Lets keep our minds on the game.....;) :p

[Swear Engine Twenty3]

Sorry Porn star thought your alias was something to do with a chopper.......

[Swear Engine Twenty3]

Hey porn star,

I think the Eastern pilot interview panel should be the first ones up...

[Hugh Jarse]

BAD girl, C9.:}
I think the Eastern pilot interview panel should be the first ones up...
They'll all be working SW23:E With the exception of Senior Fleet:}

[porn star]

SOOOOO ..... Tueday it is.

Anyone got the inside info as to who will win? From what I hear, Easterns have the upper hand, and are the hot favourites, but Rex will not go quietly. It should be an interesting match.

Hope the weather is alright!

Good luck guys and gals

Transition Layer

Rumour has it that you spent plenty of times with severe grass stains on the knees in your whites? Was that at Como Pub or the Kareela church as an alter boy- not sure!



Hope there is plenty of sledging like all good cricket games!

[porn star]

hmmm ... interesting thought.

A group of intelligent, highly trained professionals competing against each other both in the game, and on the commercial field in close proximity with alcohol fuelled emotions ?

Methinks they might need a "Stump Mike"! .... maybe a CVR would be the go if an engineer could rig one up to the stumps ?

[chief wiggum]

So, who is the sentimental favourite ?

Personally I would like to see Eastern get up. They have been the unspoken heroses" for so long!

[Boomerang]

For all of those who couldn't make it, who actually won??

[Swear Engine Twenty3]

Heard Eastern got a tad of a flogging...
