We could actually have a TEF XI
25% football, 80% bollocks, 0.1% cricket
Here's an old skool posting of mine about a TEF cricket XI .....more or less holds true, but might need a bit of tinkering 2 years down ther line apologies to Ralphy.

A forum cricket team has to be a better idea.....Boeta can be captain, Johno can chuck pies, DMR is a useful all rounder and R4E can do the fielding.
Has the advantage of being a long game given ample opportunity for consumption of substances in interesting forgotten corners of Wiltshire.
Bird can do the teas Wink
SY could umpire although standing for a couple of hours at a time may be problematic.
Dazzza I'd see as the fella who turns up at the pub post match with a couple of fitties, just to show a bit of willing and would turn out if completely necessary.
OF has to be useful as an ex public schoolboy.....can purvey leg break and Chinaman being left handed but doesn't go on about it.
Yeovil I see as scorer......
Asher certainly wont be involved and can't see Dex on a cricket pitch....Marie I suspect is very good, and could if persuaded keep wicket and bat at 8.
Whits.....would act as fixture secretary and treasurer turning out reluctantly......Magic Roundabout will sign up for the tour to Amsterdam, as its a favourite destination for club sides.
Ralphy and Sadie will find a quiet corner to watch and roll about in the grass.
Simon Pieman wont be around as its in the hols.
Jan Aage.....may be a player but wont admit to it as cricket is an English game.
Blinkpip will bat three, and shock everyone with his mature cover drive.
Piemonte....will expect to bowl first change but throw a wobbler when Boeta decides the pitch is taking spin and brings on OF.
Ben Wah Balls will just wonder why Kingy hasn't been picked, but take a fifer and score 50.
OJ will be unavailable due to a near death experience brought on by septicemia through an infected toe.
OST will be OST.
Spacey having turned out for Ciren will prove to be a hostile pace bowler, if a little erratic....Mrs Spacey will have to do teas as Bird will be behind the pavilion with Blackcurrant neglecting her responsibilities.
