The Sunday game, taken seriously — but not too seriously.
ABOUT SALIX CC
Competitive enough to care. Relaxed enough to enjoy it.
It all became real in July 1991 when the newly formed Salix Cricket Club played their first game. Memories are a bit fuzzy on who the oppo was or the final result, but the club founded by Tony Fletcher and colleagues from Deloitte’s was up and running. The ethos was and remains to play social cricket, encouraging players of all abilities to join and just have some fun.
Thirty-five years is a long time, and I’m pleased to report that Salix is still going strong playing 35 over games most Sundays in or round West London with Barnes being our home for the last few seasons.
We’re always looking for new players, rusty or otherwise and if you fancy a game or two, please get in touch.

Last Time Out:
Salix CC
v Whalers CC
The safe had a new combination
Three weeks after chasing 241 against the Whalers with remarkable ease, Salix returned to Barn Elms hoping to repeat the trick. Instead, with a makeshift XI featuring two debutants, an emergency wicketkeeper, and several players still finding their feet, they found a Whalers side that had learned from the first encounter. Despite a spirited century stand from Adam Darling and debutant Iftkhar Jalil that briefly revived hopes of another famous chase, Salix ultimately fell 30 runs short in a contest that proved, much like a finely tuned piano, that every part has to work in harmony.
