Oh dear. Made a good start but then fell back. We were probably at least one bowler short. Local pub seems to be a venue for dog fighting.

Our game against Heartaches on 20th June is to be played at Ascott Park in Buckinghamshire: a ground which has its own page on cricinfo. It’s perhaps not as detailed as the page for Lords, but surely it will be given a major overhaul once it has become an Allstars venue.

Will this be the first time the Allstars have played at a ground featured on cricinfo?

The venue is Great Haseley CC in Oxfordshire. From London, take the M40 and leave at J7. Turn left onto the A329 and take the first left towards Great Haseley on Thame Road. As you enter the village, turn left just before the first house on the same side and go 1/3 mile along track into the ground.

The postcode is OX44 7JF.

Meet 1pm for a 1.30pm start. If we’re there early, or it rains, we’ll be in the Plough pub in the village.
