Einstein said to Chaplin: “What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!”. "It’s true”, replied Chaplin. “But your fame is even greater: the world admires you, when nobody understands what you say." - Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin, 1931

27 all out

Shambolic scenes vs Worcester. Chasing 104 seagulls find themselves 16-3 after 4 overs courtesy of some keggy singles.

Worcs 60-1 after 6 overs. Swanson doffing the gloves to ply his tweak.

Loss vs Sheffield. Now underway against Worcester. 🌊

Bottling taking place vs Sheffield. A strong first half bowling performance in danger of being wasted.

Matty Garrod with 2 straight boundaries. Benyan at the other end.

A first indoor nationals since 2022. T Wylie just dismissed vs Sheffield. "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right" - motivational words from alumnus Joe Pattenden

Jonny Brock was awarded the Cold Town Beer Player of the match for Grange today at Portgower Place (2nd XI v Linlithgow). First time this season, unbelievably. Unfortunately his average dips below 100, as Jonny only scored 65 out.

Old Seags in action against the Nightwatchmen today. Some wacky old gen new gen combinations at the crease.

Old Seagullians on 157-1 at lunch against Charterhouse Friars. Jean van der Spuy and Pri Agarwal engaged in a nibbly debate on the BCCI's proportion of income from the ICC.

The Boys defeat Irish Universities. Arjun 💯 and Gugs half-pint the highlights. #wEwDwSwP

Arjun 4-bag on dayboo, and 3 for Liam ‘TP’ Plunkett. Plenty of good catching from The Lads.

Today’s fixture against Irish Universities… having batted first, ☘️ made 235 ao. A good moment as Aneesh refused to celebrate his wicket against his Irish brethren. #respect #utterwokenonsense

We lost.

138-4 after 20. String of wickets just fallen - some poor shots and Jean adjudged leg-before in unfortunate circumstances.

The Boys are on an end-of-season tour in Cambridge, taking on @Cambridge_Uni and Irish Universities. Cambridge made 265-6… the chase starts now. #stagsontour #wherelukehope

Two seagulls in action today for the MCC against George Watson's. Simpson (2024) and Muralitharan (2025) both out early for not many.

Tough defeat against Manchester for the men yesterday. Stalwarts Smyth and Muralitharan playing their final BUCS fixture #imnotcryingyouare.
