Welcome to 2008.

It is that time of year when we all should be making our New Year resolutions, so I thought I would suggest a few for some of our squad members:

Marcus – I must stop having large bets on match days to enable me to focus on my own performance rather than worrying about events off the cricket field.

Pits – I must get the bat to hit the ball off the square.

GBell – I must appeal even more aggressively and louder against kids.

Slaps – I must get some runs for Rosaneri.

Bloater –I must stop going back for 3rds at tea.

Mark Cox – I must stop risking my life to save a run.

Jim – I must not get hit for 30+ in one over.

Tilley – I must get my eye in before hitting my first 4 of an innings.

Sean – I must stop going to the gym and treating my body like a temple.

Kiwi Graham – I must sort out my Visa and become legally allowed to stay in the UK.

GMul – I must step out of my brothers shadow.

On a more serious note though, we should all start thinking about the coming season and setting ourselves goals in order to better the standard of the team.
