A brief summary of records, facts and trivia from The Plastics XI's second full season Now that the weather has firmly taken a turn for the worse, your author feels like it's an appropriate time to cast his thoughts back to the second full season of extremely amateur social cricket. It was very much a successful season, with more matches, more members, more wins, more tweets and more injuries than the season before. If the Plastics XI continue to improve at this pace year on year, it might not be too long before they reach the hallowed status of "weak-medium social cricket team". All opinions herein are the author's own and the rest of the Plastics XI can shut their filthy mouths if they object. Team Records

Miscellany, trivia and other assorted nonsense
Thus ends the Plastics 2018 season. Thanks to everyone who played for us as ringers, and our gracious opponents.
Next season, with a new captain, social secretary, digital secretary and maybe even a tour on the horizon, promises to be even more of a step into the unknown than previously. Does new captain Matt Webb even know what the word "diplomacy" means? Is it worth travelling hundreds of miles to be beaten in a series of cricket matches when The Plastics can get enough of that within the confines of the m25? What did we do to hurt Leo and Niall so much that they left us forever? Will Joey ever learn to play a shot to the offside? Will Jerry ever take a wicket again? I guess we'll find out in 2019.

THE TEAMFormed from a collection of players who met on the internet via social cricket at Archbishop's Park, Plastics XI represents the foolhardy members of that group who decided they wanted a bash at proper cricket instead of playing with plastic balls. The team's ability is best described as "weak-weak". Luckily, our social media game is much stronger. Find us on: Archives
