Slovenia XI vs. Rest of the World XI - 1st October 2005

Osmani starts his run up...

and bowls at the opposition batsman...

who defends it gently in the direction of Steffen

This shot proved a little more fruitful. Run!

Steve Fish lets go of his notorious "slower ball," while Ian Donchi (arms folded in the field) looks distinctly unimpressed. Anyone who has seen said delivery will understand his position.

Brad takes the rare opportunity to try out some leg-spin in the hope of learning something new to bowl when he gets "too old for this fast stuff." Batsman Uroš also looks distinctly unimpressed. The cameraman may have had a beer or two too many?

 Uroš hangs around and shows the older players how it's done

Steffen Conn does his best Tony Greig impression with this ludicrous headgear.

Osmani takes strike, while Dan relaxes at the non-strikers end.

Not a bad view, is it?

Evening falls on another glorious Slovenian day, as the game reaches its climax.

Triangular 2020 Tournament LJCC vs Washington CC vs Folly's Farm Gallery

On the 24th and 25th September we had a very enjoyable 3 team 20/20 tournament with Washington CC and Follies Farm CC, both from the Uk. Almost all the pictures taken here are from the Ljubljana vs Follies Farm match as Washington CC went straight on to Zagreb to play against them after the first game.

Click on them for larger versions of the pictures. The two visiting teams pose for a photo.

We present Washington CC and Follies Farm Old Spots CC (Pink and Black caps).

A stray leg side delivery gets what it deserves from a Follies Farm batsman.

Showing no respect for local players at all. Brad is carted in the air through legside.

Brad and Tom both charge in the direction of the ball. Such dedication.

Brad, looking rather stupid in this photo as clearly no-one else thought this was out.

Another rank leg-side lolly, another effortless sweep to the boundary.

Tom spies the photographer and does his amusing impression of erm... something

Rob Crawford stays standing with a little help from the keeper.

Dan's turn to get dispatched. Be gone, ball!

Lalantha lets one rip from the Zbiljska Jezera end

Spot the ball competition. No seriously, where is it?

We wanted to say "Same pies, different chef." But Tom delivers a ball that confuses everyone by hitting the stumps, hence the flying bails.

A fine leg's view of Tom Furness bowling a few more...

... with the inevitable consequences.

We interrupt this coverage to bring you a nice view of the hill.

Lalantha takes guard in the Ljubljana innings.

4 pictures of Brad taking guard and shaping up..

..before taking a wild, needless and unsuccessful swing to leg on a ball pitching 10 inches outside off.

Egon faces the attack

Lalantha photographed from square leg

As is Dan. Look, is anyone still actually reading these comments. If you are send an email saying "yes" here

"C'mon, get on with it." Dan waits impatiently while they move the field around.

Comedy fielding picture time. Bends down to stop ball....

.. only to fail miserably.

A shot of Follies Farm bowling with an unfazed Egon at the non striker's end.

Same story, different batsman. Dan watches the crease carefully

Steve Fish joins in.

LJCC vs Allen and Overy CC - 5th August 2005

Bradley Eve about to play a full, straight one.

Al Green dancing down the wicket

No sign of a gate there then...

Using the full face of the bat... err

Bouncer?

Al Green dispatches a cover-drive Caribbean style...

Same gate, different player

Chris Tavare shows how it should be done

Mark Oman demonstrates the virtues of a straight backlift

And somehow still ends up in a textbook position

Then they brought their 3rd string bowler on...

...J. GillesPie was his name.

Lalantha in full flow
