Regarding skill, we are classed as weak-medium, so it’s best if you have a moderate level of skill (e.g. played for the School, College or Uni) but it doesn’t at all matter if you haven’t played for years or are coming back to the game. Several of our players have come to us from League cricket as they like the style of the Sunday friendly game.
It’s true that many of our players join as they know someone in the team already, but that isn’t always the case – several of our current regulars (and a current Captain) have come via the Internet – we are really equal opportunities and will make you feel welcome.
A key feature of our team is the concept of forward planning and rotation – players are asked for their availability 4-6 weeks ahead and if we have too many players then we select teams by dropping random players, even the Captains. So everyone gets an even chance and you don’t have to commit to play every week to get regular games.
That all said, if you say you’ll play we expect you to!

SEASON 2025:
Flamstead CC
v Salix CC
Patabadige's Heroics Not Enough as Salix Hold Their Nerve
In a game of remarkable swings, Salix posted 258 before reducing Flamstead to 0 for 2 in the very first over, only for the Flamstead captain to single-handedly drag his side back into contention with a stunning century. It took the calm, clinical brilliance of CK — with the ball, in the field, and in the mind — to finally put the game to bed. A victory that will live long in the memory.
SEASON 2025:
Salix CC
v Not The MCC
A pretty dire cricket pitch on a pleasant and warm, sunny day
£70. Seventy British pounds. Seventy Pounds Sterling. It can buy you numerous things. For example; a few rounds on a boozy night out with your mates, lunch for 1 at many of London’s acclaimed Michelin Star Restaurants or as Salix CC found out for the second week in a row; a day’s hire of a council cricket pitch at Wandsworth Common.
SEASON 2025:
Gents
v Salix CC
Despite our best efforts in the field, Salix struggled to break the partnerships
Salix CC, after winning the toss, opted to bat first, but the decision proved challenging as they were restricted to a modest total of 139. Early breakthroughs from Gents CC’s bowlers set the tone for the innings, as the Salix batsmen struggled to build partnerships.
