Sav Team - New team or an oldie with a new name?

Tonights match against Sav Team whoever they may be is sure to test the Haggis on their quest to the D grade trophy for the Summer 06/07 season. New skipper Allan is undefeated in the hot captaincy seat. How long can this last? All I know is that the Haggis are pumped for a big start to the new season.

Rocket makes a long awaited return after sitting out last weeks game, he substitutes Justin of Sick Bickies and Castle Greyskull fame. This change puts Canned Haggis as favorites by the Sportstab paying $1.65 for the win.

Should be an absolute craker tonight. My tip Canned Haggis 3 skins to 1 skin to win by 28 runs.

New Uniform - Option 1

Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I feel that there comes a time when you need to cast aside your Lowe's polo top. Mine, for one, has lost the ability to stay buttoned up, treating spectators to an awesome display of chest hair every time I stride in for a delivery.

It is with this in mind that I propose we adopt a new uniform for the new season. The Wild Turkey t-shirts, as you would all agree, were awesome. It would confuse too many people, though, if the Haggis rocked up in those shirts again. Centre staff might think, "Hang on, don't those bastards owe us money from a couple of years ago." At which point we would run for the hills, screaming "SUCKERS!" all the way.

I digress.

Here is suggestion one for the Haggis' new uniform. Those who have not seen Clerks 2 might miss the subtle humour of the shirt. In fact, to some it might seem plain offensive. But it's OK, 'cause I'm takin' it back.

Game Day News

Stirling "Beast of a Beard" Haggis (sorry, mate, I forgot your real nickname) has had to withdraw from tonight's season-opening game with a corked left brain. Too much study, Stirlo.

The late injury has opened the door for Torb "Little Dabber" Haggis to make his impression on the side. Will he live up to the pressure? Surely only time will tell.

Shock Resignation Rocks the Haggis

*BREAKING NEWS* (of two weeks ago)

The social indoor cricketing world was shocked to hear that perennial captain, Andy "Cap'n" Haggis, has stepped down from lead-duties for the upcoming season. Alan "Dabber" Haggis will step in as caretaker-captain until the squad can decide on a permanent replacement.

Andy will continue to play for the team in a hit-more-sixes-than-anyone capacity, but for now his main goal is to decide on a new nickname. Andy "Former Cap'n" Haggis, anyone?

Tragedy and Redemption

Dear all,
It is with great regret that I inform you all that the Haggis were valiant losers in the D grade grand final the Wednesday before last. Where's Terry?, two players down, were just too strong for us. Once again, we were left to ponder what might have been, wearing ugly loser t-shirts and drowning our sorrows.

But, in the immortal words of Semisonic's Dan Wilson, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end." That being the case, the end of last season signals the start of the new one. This Wednesday, at 9:30pm, the boys will dust off the beer-drinking and cricket-playing boots (OK, they're the same boots), and step out for their season opening game. Up against newbies Run Out, only time will tell what lessons last season taught the Haggis.

Be there or be soundly square.

Introductions - Rotten Haggis

It's time for you to meet some of those handsome chaps that make up Canned Haggis. First up, we have Rotten Haggis. Seen here outside of a court house, he swears that he was only there to visit, and was not up on public indecency charges.

In spite of his deficiencies with the bat, he tries very hard, and on a good day can swing with the best of them. Unbelievably, he holds the current season's top score, with a lucky 45 from the grading matches.

With the ball, to say that he has raw pace is only somewhat of an overstatement. He will proudly tell you about the time he broke a keeper's nose. Whatever you do, don't make him angry. Having been hit for the most number of runs of all team members this year ranks with his most shameful acheivements, especially given that he holds the Haggis record for best bowling figures, with 7/-28.

There is no doubt that Rotten is an integral part of the Haggis. He may not be the sheep's intestine, holding it all together, but he is at least the onion - it just wouldn't be the same without him.

Haggis in the Final

After a great victory in last weeks semi final against Hit and Miss, Canned Haggis have proved the Indoor Cricket world wrong by winning their 4th straight game. After a shaky start to the season winning only 3 of their first 7 games, Canned Haggis have turned their early season slump into some great form leading up to the finals series.

The game tonight against Where's Terry? shall provide great entertainment. Sharing the honours in their last 2 appearances. Both sides have proven that they are the real deal coming into finals. With free beer on the line who knows what can happen?

The Haggis is Online!

Hey y'all,
If you have come here looking for deep philosophical ponderings, you're a long way from home Hippie Boy. If, however, you're seeking information on the exploits on the greatest social indoor cricket team since the Wild Turkeys, or possibly Teds, then by crikey you've come to the right place.

Tonight, the boys of the Haggis face their greatest test, when they face Where's Terry in the D Grade grand final. With several players carrying injuries, can they win, thereby retaining the precious champion's jug and procuring a trendy shirt? Only time will tell.

Fire up lads!
