We've made it to the grand old age of fifty seasons!!

Fifty Summers Long

The 2008 season is the Badgers fiftieth season of existence – I wonder how many of the founders imagined that it would last as long as it has? – and we will be celebrating this event in style at Tadworth Cricket Club on the 20th July. For more details check out the fiftieth anniversary celebrations item on the news page and watch this space for more information and further fiftieth-themed tidbits as the first half of the season progresses.

Fiftieth Facts

The club's on-the-field workhorse over the years is fairly easy to spot when you look at the Lifetime Averages – Alan Tickner has bowled more overs (4323) and played more innings (505) than any other Badger and nobody else is all that close in either category. This holds true even when you average out those numbers, with Alan leading both categories with over 13 innings and 113 overs per season played. Interestingly, two players with considerably fewer seasons played are close behind – Graham Ward has averaged exactly 13 innings over his six seasons with the club whilst Ian Gregg has sent down an average of 109 overs in his ten seasons.

A warm and friendly welcome from Badgers Cricket Club – a wandering cricket side who play only friendly cricket matches, mostly in the villages of Surrey – and who also enjoy a yearly three day tour (previously to the Cotswolds, but for the past couple of years to Dorset). For more information about the club and this web site, take a peek at the about page.

The site has continued to grow since it first appeared in March 2000, and in addition to up-to-the-minute news, results, match reports, scorecards and fixtures, you will also find more statistical information than you could shake a stick at, a list of the current club officers, a growing photo gallery and links to general cricket sites and some of the clubs that we play. Believe it or not there is still more historical information to come, and the current focus is on expanding the entries in the hall of fame.

What's New

4 Jul 2008

Please accept my apologies for being so remiss, but I've had an update to the fixtures page ready to go since last Saturday – when I noticed that the details for tomorrow's game with Morden Parish were missing or incorrect – but completely forgot to put it up. My only excuse is that I've been so wrapped up in preparations for the rapidly looming Fiftieth Celebration that I've not had any spare time to devote to the site, but that is fairly pathetic. Those of you playing in the game should have received an email from Paul Little announcing the correct start time and I hope that no one turns up an hour early because of my tardiness.

The older What's New entries are now held on separate pages, to keep this main page cleaner and smaller, and you can also navigate to them using the Javascript menu (under Home).

This site is very much a work in progress and if you have any comments, suggestions or would simply like more information then please feel free to send an email to the webmaster using this link:
