Competitive yes, but always friendly.
We're a friendly, mid-level side and a welcoming bunch. Whether you're a regular or dusting off the whites after a long break, you'll find a place here.
ABOUT SALIX CC
No favourites. Not even the Captain.
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!
The Annual Tour
Passport Required
One of the standout features of Salix is our annual overseas tour. We take particular pride in playing in some unusual places, mostly to lose graciously but nevertheless having a wonderful experience.
In 2025 we went to Ibiza and this autumn we’re visiting Poland for the first time hosted by Krakow CC.
Our recent trips have included visits to Germany, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, Cyprus, Italy, France, Hungary and Bulgaria. We really are the perfect guests – bolstering the local economy and losing games of cricket!
Fancy a Game?
Good cricket, good people, good times.
Whether you've played your whole life or haven't picked up a bat in years, you'll find a place here. We love the game and enjoy good company. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
Recent Matches
You can get a flavour of the cricket we play by looking at our match reports – competitive yes, but always friendly. If you enjoy a good sledge we are not the team for you.
SEASON 2026:
Salix CC
v Gentlemen of West London CC
A thriller of a match ends in a tight defeat
Salix fell just four runs short in a thrilling contest against the Gents at Barnes, despite an excellent unbeaten 99 from the opposition and a valiant chase of 181. Vijay's maiden Salix fifty and CK's classy 49 kept the hosts in contention throughout, with the game going down to the final over. Although the result didn't go Salix's way, seven debutants helped make the fixture possible and contributed to an enjoyable match played in great spirit.
SEASON 2026:
Salix CC
v Whalers CC
Not just back-to-back wins, but BIG back-to-back wins!
Savour these Salix days, for a week after comfortably defeating one traditional opponent, the Demijohns, we went one better in despatching another, the Whalers, by eight wickets and plenty of overs to spare. This when chasing what appeared to be a daunting 241 in 35 overs, against a team we hadn’t beaten in some years, in Sai’s first game as skipper.
