They added: "If you don't know us and fancy joining up, know that we're a bit old fashioned (in a good way). The old sheds maybe aren't the best, you might have to help to paint the boundary before the game and we might ask you to get the scoreboard ready, but, you'll be promised one of the best groups of mates to play cricket with."
