Heavyweight XI - the original post Heavyweight X1 What about a heavyweight X1 from the county league any offers? 1. Neil Glover Matlock 12th Man Andy Houghton Riddings Scorer Clive Abbott Selston Re: Heavyweight X1 Having read this, Does anyone know what the combined weight of Tibby's Team is? It sounds like they would make a great set of forwards!!!! Re: Heavyweight X1 Come to Tibby on Sat and seef for yourself Danny, all but Maloney will be playing, he's with the 2nds and he is the biggest as he weighs in at approx 25 stone. OMF ps get to the tea table first Re: Heavyweight X1 MANY THANKS !!!!!!! Re: Heavyweight X1 yes i stand proud in my spot at number 4, obviously being a genuine ALL ROUNDER in every sense of the world, i feel i should be made captain! OMF how about our wicket keeper? you remember him who kept at Tibby? i reckon he is bigger than a few lads you have named!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Martin Wood of Matlock must waddle into any heavyweight team. Over the border, Newstead Abbey had an opening bat with the biggest gut I have ever seen on any sportsman (and that includes darts players)
Re: Heavyweight X1 At least with Mitch in the side you will get good kit
Re: Heavyweight X1 Must take a team photo of the Heavyweight XI. I can take panoramic pictures with my new camera.
Re: Heavyweight X1 OMF... Pete Maloney - 25 stones ??? Are your eyes painted on ? The beer swilling clubber is nearer 30 !!! (PS - Mitch could you get us some tops with "HEAVYWEIGHT X1 - Who ate all the pies ?" on ?
Re: Heavyweight X1 Adam...
Re: Heavyweight X1 Surly Mark Pykett has got to be in there!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Mark Gillott @ Riddings has got to be a candidate ?
Re: Heavyweight X1 I cannot believe John Parkinson and Simon Bartles of Stabbo haven't made the final 11!
Re: Heavyweight X1 I think Adam Harchuck is in the wrong side.He should be in the Superheavyweight 11!!
Re: Heavyweight X1 what about big trev sparham and rimmo
Re: Heavyweight X1 S**T....We've almost got enough for a 2nd XI now...!!! Chiggy...Can you get us any Rep Matches against any other Fat B******d XI's...!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Steve Schofield at Elvaston has got to be in with a shout. There are more x's on his shirt label than your average spot the ball coupon!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Bob Evans and Arwyn Morgan, From Clay Cross Jon Branson wont be far of rate he's Goin!!! GREABO! Re: Heavyweight X1 We have got to set up a game of F@t B******s cricket!!! We could do it for charity? We could have Hot Dog and burger stalls, chips on the go all day, as many packets of crisps that you can eat, chocolate, cakes, lager, Brown Ale, Guiness, pies, lager, peanuts, lager and more lager!? What does everyone reckon?
Re: Heavyweight X1 Or, we could have Fatty's against Thinnies?! Any other idea's??
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny...
Re: Heavyweight X1 Must have the game on a ground with a bar, how about it Mitch? However with all the big hitters about will need extra supply of balls, but at least players won't have to run far. Seriously though could make a good fund raiser for charity. Heart foundation perhaps? OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 too right! im likeing that! and you can have as much tea as you want without everyone letting you have it! Tibshelf this year was worst for me! i normally get it at the tea table but the Tibshelf game was a joke, even talks of a sponsered diet, i mean forget that!! Un Silent majority, John Parkinson our keeper is a big lad, he surely should be in there!
Re: Heavyweight X1 YEP...Adam, he should now you mention it...
Re: Heavyweight X1 off spinner, used to play for Hatton before he took up umpiring .... Mick Cooper is it ... hes a cracking bloke as well.
Re: Heavyweight X1 umpires Graham Marriott and the ex Brian "Charlie" Kiddy ...now he could wolf down a sandwich or two.!!! or Pete ???? who used to play at Dema. I believe SLIMMING WORLD may be interested in sponsoring the game.The teas are to be delivered by TESCO HOME SERVICE on a Eddie Stobart artic.
Re: Heavyweight X1 I've got two umpires.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Harchuckle, Firstly, I think you'd better find a tea lady who's prepared to spend the entire week prior to the fixture producing enough tucker for this band of arbuckles. Personally I don't think its possible looking at the calorie consuming potential of the side, so you may have to get the entire Gulf War catering corps in!
Re: Heavyweight X1 cant believe ive got slimline Messey letting me have it .. i think you need to bulk up a bit Trev so you can hit some fours ... is that Spital calling ??
Re: Heavyweight X1 what about J.C SMITH as umpire-first,second and third in the tea queue.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Right then, I'm off to Pizza Hut for the 'all you can eat buffet' to get in some training. See you there Adam - don't get there first, you know i hate it when there's nothing left!
Re: Heavyweight X1 ok Trev, ill bring a signing on form as well !
Re: Heavyweight X1 Only two umpires worth considering.....Steve Alford and Pete Tromans!!! Click here for the Official Clay Cross CC Website
Re: Heavyweight X1 OK, so there is a lot of interest in this, I'm kinda hoping it's genuine interest cos I'm going to look in to hosting it at Marehay. Still interested?
Re: Heavyweight X1 DANNY,are you paying £ for pound appearace money ?cos its a well known fact that you Marehay boys are known for your wealth and generosity i remember the pint "kirky" BOUGHT me very well in Blackpool 1994.!!!!Anyway , what about Brian Kerry and Mick Hoolley as M.C.C reps ?
Re: Heavyweight X1 Surprised no-ones mentioned Martin Green,Matt Hardwick and Gary HickinBOTTOM.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny sounds great, but you cant expect us big lads to cover them big boundaries! pavillion side the boundary has to be brought in!
Re: Heavyweight X1 What about making it a North v South fixture, Marehay sounds a good venue to me with a kind donation from bar takings going to the chosen charity. OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 good idea omf, so if its going to be N vs S, what would the teams be?
Re: Heavyweight X1 OMF...
Re: Heavyweight X1 anyone considered the size of changing rooms required....!!! i remember playing riddings a couple of seasons ago and quite a hefty unit opened the batting for them.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Hey, I like the idea of a heavyweights charity match, and getting Slimming World, or someone similar, to sponsor it isn't as daft as it sounds. Could raise quite a bit of money here. Shall we go ahead? Any ideas on charities? How about Bank Holiday Monday, or any Sunday in July. Any blank dates Chris? Ideas, ideas! Let's have your views.
Re: Heavyweight X1 July 20th wouldn't be bad; it's the week after the cup quarters, and is left blank in case of rain. By then there wouldn't be that many sides left in, so ground and player availability should be good, although holidays might be starting to get in the way. June 29th might also be worth a try; it's the slip date for the 2nd round, so perhaps more teams and players still involved, but less holidays?
Re: Heavyweight X1 July 20th is ideal for me. I was going to have a long weekend then anyway. A couple of days in the Lake District, take in Cartmel races, back on Saturday for some cricket and then a charity game on Sunday. A couple of days off Monday and Tuesday to recover. What a weekend!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Chaps, I will try to find out if we have a day free at Marehay, we have got very large changing rooms, which should be ideal for "hefty" people. However I think it would be funnier if we put them in a small changing room!!!! If you want me to look into it, I will ask tomorrow?
Re: Heavyweight X1 Yeah Danny - go ahead. Let us know what you can find out. Your ground is plenty large enough to perhaps combine the day with a car boot, stalls, whatever. And it's centrally located to attract Derbyshire and Notts visitors. I'm getting quite excited about this.
Re: Heavyweight X1 How about entrance music for the batsmen going out to the middle, id love to see some of these fatties waddling out to 'Oompa Lumpa' from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. "Oompa Lumpa dumpity doo, ive got a little puzzle for you.............." No quick singles! Eastwood Town Cricket Club - Believe
Re: Heavyweight X1 Play the fat game at Spondon. Would be hugely amusing trying to get all those heavyweights into the changing rooms, the bar, and, come to think of it, would you be able to fit them all on the tiny, tiny outfield?
Re: Heavyweight X1 there would be too many lost balls Gadge
Re: Heavyweight X1 Glad this has sparked so much interest, lets get it on guys, have a fun game of cricket eat and drink loads and make some money for charity in the process. July 20th seems a good date giving time to get thing sorted out. Need to decide which charity though Saw a real hevyweight contender last night Buster Bloodvessel in Mansfield a pitty he doesn't play our beloved game, he would have without doubt made the first X1. OMF Re: Heavyweight X1 Nice suggestion Jam - entrance music. Now then, what other fatty related music can we use? As regards a charity, how about something to do with cricket - especially the development of junior cricket. Now that would spur me on to putting some time into this. What do we say?
Re: Heavyweight X1 And the 50 is up already. Must be the fastest 50 ever on this site. Thanks for starting the ball rolling OMF. Batted lads.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Entrance Music Lip Up Fatty - Bad Manners Some to be going on with. I'll be back with more later.
Re: Heavyweight X1 What about the following classis!! Sheriff Fat Man - Carter and the unstopable Sex Machines
Re: Heavyweight X1 Some more
Re: Heavyweight X1 Soz Hungry eyes - Eric Carmen
Re: Heavyweight X1 Alternatively, Eight pints of lager and a large doner please - Adam Harchuk
Re: Heavyweight X1 yea im liking that Al, but large doner shish!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Fattie Bum Bum - Carl Malcolm. Hungry like the wolf- Duran Duran. Food for thought-UB40. The Twist- Fat Boys. OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 With the original line up the Tibshelf lads will come out to the theme tune of that well known kids program.....
Re: Heavyweight X1 How about organising a Heavyweights XI v a Crackers XI? That could be fun.
Re: Heavyweight X1 I'll definitely get the ground now!! July 20th. Alan, do you know any charities that would like to be a part of this? And Guys, can we start selcting two teams? Try to keep it North V South!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Before I go to the chippy for my Friday intake of grease Mr Blobby by Mr Blobby OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 i am doing a charity golf day on 15th July for a little boy at Ripley who:s family need to raise £20000 to send him to the U.S.A for treatment,we at MITCHELL SPORTS (OWZAT) have pledged £1000 to them but any contributions would be agreat help....I;m sure we can help with some XXXXXL shirts from one of our suppliers (collectors items) im sure this could be a goer...C:mon u B.B.CC (BIG BOYS CRICKET CLUBS)
Re: Heavyweight X1 Andy, sounds like a deserving charity to me. I just want people to confirm that they would be willing to take part in something like this! I can't work out if you're all serious or not! It will take a lot of organising! Any volunteers with anything for a day like would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Mitch...
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny, put me down as a definate mate. this seems a top idea and the charity that Andy Mitchell suggested is a great cause.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny, Seeing as this has escalated and interest is being shown lets see what we can do. I suggest we try to stick to the North v South theme to add a bit of interest. I'll sort out some definites from Tibby Adam, what about you and your keeper at Stabbo, Mitch, are you going to play We could do with some help from the South section sorting out their team, any volunteers. I like the idea of helping the lad from Ripley Alan, what do you think?
Re: Heavyweight X1 THIS IS WHAT "LOCAL" CRICKET IS ALL ABOUT!!!!!!! THIS IS WHY I PLAY THE GAME!!!!! IF WE CAN ALL PULL THIS OFF WE SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF OURSELVES. JUST IMAGINE.........A SUNNY DAY (HOPEFULLY), PLENTY OF BEER, FOOD AND FUN AND A GAME OF COMEDY CRICKET, I CAN THINK OF NO BETTER WAY TO SPEND A SUNDAY AFTERNOON! The unsilent majority, I think if we can spread the word we could raise quite a bit more than just "some" cash, what does everyon else think?
Re: Heavyweight X1 OMF, ill deffo play mate, ill ask Parko tomorrow and see what he says. do we have a definate date for all of this?
Re: Heavyweight X1 As the 'Monsters of Rock' is no longer with us at Donington (it's now called 'Download'), could this game be titled 'Monsters of Cricket'? (Or 'Upload' as an alternative, given the amount of food and beer that's likely to be consumed)
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny, let us know asap if July 20th is ok for the ground then we can get to work sorting it out. Off to the ground to finalise tomorrows wkt. Will you be there Danny OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 Danny...
Re: Heavyweight X1 HOW ABOUT MAKING TOTAL T**TS OF OURSELVES AND DO THE WHOLE SODDING THING IN FANCY DRESS....
Re: Heavyweight X1 That's a very good idea! Any others anyone?
Re: Heavyweight X1 The field will have 11 large chocolate cakes spread around which the fielding side have to protect and get to eat after the game/innings. If the ball hits their cake they lose a slice meaning the less they stop the less they get to eat. Could also award bonus runs for the batting side if they hit one. Could lead to some fantastic desperate diving stops as the fielders try to protect their post match snack!!
Re: Heavyweight X1 Is China on tidal wave warning for all these diving stops?
Re: Heavyweight X1 Fellas As someone who will, fortunately, not meet the necessary criteria to play in this game, I just some clarifiaction as to what any spectators will be seeing when they turn up to watch. A load of immensely fat blokes, in fancy dress, desparately trying to protect a load of chocolate cakes that have placed around the perimeter of the field!!!!!! I think a lot of people may be making frantic phone calls, checking the precise content of whatever they were drinking or smoking the night before, as this sounds like something out of a David Lynch film.
Re: Heavyweight X1 The Tibby Tubbies do like their food but 50% of the weight definetly comes from alchohol intake...
Re: Heavyweight X1 Alex, With that game description there can only be one person qualified to commentate on this fixture - Stuart Hall
Re: Heavyweight X1 Trev Great Idea. In a Jeux Sans Frontieres stylee of course. Anyone though of trying to get Fat Gatt up as guest of honour? He could do the presentations etc.
Re: Heavyweight X1 LETS GIVE HIM A RING - HE CAN ONLY SAY NO !!!!!
Re: Heavyweight X1 What about everyone in thongs as sumos, and Mitch i'll play for you buddy
Re: Heavyweight X1 Grizzly If this is a charity match then you could really do with a lot of children there. I'm not convinced that this lot dressed in nothing but thongs is the sort of thing that children ought to be seeing!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Heavyweight X1 I wasn't thinking of the type the wife would wear but that would be quite funny though
Re: Heavyweight X1 Either way, it would be fairly traumatising for a young child to see 22 grown men dressed in that manner.
Re: Heavyweight X1 grizz, i take it u have;nt checked out fatmeninthongs.com (joke!!!)Put me down i would love to play (not quite sure about fancy dress)but i think there would be plenty of laughs anywayand it doesnt matter how much we make in cash it all helps,anyway its going down in my autobiography as my one rep. CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now off to Denby for kwik cricket...
Re: Heavyweight X1 one player that should be considered, is malc donaldson, who plays for stonebroom. He is the fattest cricketer i have ever seen.
Re: Heavyweight X1 I'm all for the cash going to the kid from Ripley. Let's raise the cash for him. We need to get working if we're going to pull this off. We need help from the media - Telegraph, Radio Derby, Radio Nottingham etc. We will need some sponsors - can everyone ask their employers, club sponsors etc. if they can help? We also need posters, leaflets, flyers etc - anyone have any contacts? Over the weekend, tell all your club colleagues and let's get the word around about what we are trying to achieve. All being well its "The Monsters of Cricket" at Marehay on Sunday July 20th. All in favour say 'aye'. I will be in the chatroom on Monday lunchtime from 12:00 until 14:00 if anyone wants to join in and discuss this - a sort of online committee meeting.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Should we do some of those sponsor forms that people take round workplaces. You know the ones I mean where you write down how much you want to donate. We could do it on something like one penny for every run scored, although most people will probably chuck in a couple of quid. If everyone of us filled in just one sheet, the money would soon be rolling in.
Re: Heavyweight X1 For once in my life im gutted in not FAT! I want to be FAT! have we got a cut off limit for weight? at least 18 stones? Although im from the dark side of the Derbyshire border (Notts) id really like to see this game and get involved in some way, it sounds like its gonna be fun and the charity is a very good one, if Outlawed was pulling the page view in id try something to help too, but sadly its not, ill put the word around our league and push for some more support, ill keep in touch with it all through me dad (Alan 'From that Derbyshire Website' Rowley). I think it would be great to have a pre-match weigh-in! get some scales and have to lads facing off boxing style? Or even wrestling style ring anouncer, "making his way to the wicket, Weighing in at 23.6 stones, from tibshelf.............." anyway ill keep on here and keep in touch Fat Boys Cricket Match I cant wait.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Had confirmation of all the 4 Tibby boys in original line up will play with 1 other possibiity. However if we get enough players interested then we may have to have a qualifying weight. OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 Hello everyone, I am very confident now that Our ground will be available on that day. Alan has touched on what we need to do to get this off the ground, so, when you are sat around waiting to bat today and tomorrow would you all try to spend a little bit of time coming up with ideas for event's during the day. Please post your Idea's as and when you can please! I love the Idea of Jambrose, introducing the Batsmen to the crease and the bowlers when they start new spells, new overs etc. I also love the idea of a weigh-in. Does anybody have a relative who is involved with weightwatchers? If so, would they like to have a stall there so people could join on the day? By the sounds of it there should be enough people there who could do with joining!!!!! Also, does anyone have a PA system?
Re: Heavyweight X1 I'm also from the other side of the border but I think this is a brilliant idea and if you're in need of a scorer I'd like to help.
Re: Heavyweight X1 DANNY, as a normal sized guy i feel you are quite enjoying this you sadistic b*****d.I have known you for a long time and feel you are quite enjoying this , but i do take my hat off to you in doing what you can to get this on the road ..I played at Riddings today where i was greeted by Nige Ashmore who said he had seen the postings .Does OMF know what he has started here ?This match MUST go ahead now cos everybody is talking about it (there is talk of people going on massive food binges to qualify)ANYWAY get it goin DAN the youngster needs the cash ...I have just got home after a rigorous training session of 8 pints of tetleys in our bar after taking 27 points at Riddings ...P.S Andy Houghton is gutted he was only 12th man but if its N v S surely he must make the team (batted well today )mind you i did drop him on 4 ...How sad am i looking at players for a potential FAT X1..........C:mon you B.B.C.C (i can see the shirts now..everyone will want one ) We may become the new Bunberrys and appear in dodgy nitespots in DERBY (SORRY!!! just thinking about a normal South Wingfield C.C jolly into the "big city")on a Friday night.....
Re: Heavyweight X1 I'm off work for a week now, so I should have some time to get things going. Andy, could you email me with the details about the lad? I would like to get up to Ripley to see him and do a report. Once that's done, we can't back out and the game MUST get sorted. Danny, is the ground confirmed? Can they do food? We will need chips, burgers and stuff all day. Does anyone know anybody who has a burger van who would come to the ground for the day? Preferably someone who would donate some of the massive profits they are bound to make. Also, an ice-cream van would be useful. I had another idea yesterday, why don't we contact John Smiths and ask them to donate some beer? Then we could mimmick there 'avit' advert and bring out 15 cans of John Smiths at each drinks interval. That would make good press coverage. In return, they might donate a barrel. Also, it would be nice if we could get some celebrities involved. Anyone have any contacts? ExtremeScorer - are you fat? Seriously, email me on alan@derbyshirecricket.info and we can sort something out.
Re: Heavyweight X1 If Andy Houghton wants to play I'm sure we can fit him in, I suggest we get as many volunteers as we can can then sort the teams from there. OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 Don't forget to log into the site chat room between 12:00 and 2:00pm tomorrow (Monday). I would like us, at least, to decide on a title for the event, venue, start times etc so that I can start publicising it. If you want to help, or are just curious, or want to put forward some suggestions, click here to join the discussions.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Willie Salt at Swanwick must be close to qualification- but not if Alfords the ump. Rich Jowett is also rather large but i dont think he'd play as his arse seems to welded to his settee. We got dicked at Clay Cross today so i watched our 2nds at home to Butterley. Malc Green actually ran to field a ball.- Its your turn next week Mitch. Ps- Andy - i bought some fantastic kit from that place near Ikea
Re: Heavyweight X1 Richard,...I didnt know there was an OXFAM near Ikea !!!!! but i do agree that WILL would enhance the team...more the teams more the interest...
Re: Heavyweight X1 This is the original message that started the 'Monsters of Cricket' idea. As there is now a lot of interest throughout the whole network, I thought it was appropriate to bring the message back on to the front page of the forum - and reach a century into the bargain.
Re: Heavyweight X1 Played at Heanor today and GORDON SHAW would love to play ,he thought it was by invitation SO i invited him ......
Re: Heavyweight X1 In case anyone else is wondering, this match is NOT by invitation only. If you want to play, or be involved in this momentous occasion, please get in touch, or reply to this thread.
Re: Heavyweight X1 We Still need some heavies to make up the teams so if your big and want to play please let us know. The more we get the more money we can make for a good cause. OMF
Re: Heavyweight X1 u call urselves overweight?
Re: Heavyweight X1 The Obese 1, get your arse into gear and get playing then, if you are genuine that is, if not..............go away!
