The Edict has been handed down....all teams must have a vice captain. For the Socials this causes an obvious dilema - who on earth would want the job? It is well known that the Socials are ... well, an independant lot. Being skip is more like being an on-field agony aunt:
'My foot really hurts, but don't take me off now'
'I will field anywhere skip, but not by the hut'
'I am not late, I thought it was a 2 o'clock start'
'I am available on Sunday, but not as a bowler'
'I would prefer not to open, I want to have a big tea'
'I am a bowler who bats but my back hurts at the moment'
'I am happy to umpire but I am not very good'
'I have collected the money. It's all there but it doesn't add up'
So get your applications in now - in fact go for the top job - you will have my support.
Update: Ray Ferris was voted in as Socials vice skip - which is poetic justice as many of the quotes above are his.
