2021 fixtures
Captain: David Proctor
This proved to be a very successful season in which we played 22 games, winning 14 and losing 6, and 2 being abandoned to snow (true fact) and rain. Within this we also managed to squeeze in two tours of the west country.
Our batting was strong throughout, with plentiful runs provided by Gwyn, Vinay, Fenil, Gower J, Arif, Kishore and Ben. In particular, Gwyn filled his boots like no Strongroomer has filled their boots before, with four centuries in the final five games of the season. Indeed, so strong was our batting that our resident no.11 (Mario) only made it to the crease on three occasions in 15 games. Our bowling was also good throughout, with Mario bagging 20 wickets, leg spinner Riaz 15, and Nisar, Ankit and Arif grabbing buckets of wickets at a very low cost. A mention should also be made for Vinay, who sacrificed his bowling for keeping wicket, as and when required.
Notable victories included wins against longtime opponents Jesmond Jaguars and Pacific. We lost two nail biters against Bloomsbury Royals and Palm Tree, but came out on top in an equally tight one against Millfields. We also played a number of new opposition in 2021, and toured North Devon and Somerset for the first time, in a late September, autumnal tour.
Aside from five successive games being cancelled in August due to rain and unavailability of players (on both sides), overall we did well at raising teams, thanks to our pool of dogged veterans, occasionals, newbies and, in particular, new recruit Amith and his cohort of willing associates.
