Hi Morgs,
Local teams in your area. They should have some contact details, perhaps you can wonder down to a couple of their winter nets and see whether you'd fit in. Tbh this guy sounds like a k-(No Swearing Please), so I'm not surprised about that...
Hope you find a new time to hopefully use your 2 Salii with ;)

Get onto your local sides whom you've played against before, see if they fancy taking you on. Get yourself down to a couple of their nets, introduce yourself, that sort of thing. If you've ever played really well against a side they're normally a good bet as they remember you demolishing their bowlers/pegging back their batsmen!

Or what Mike says... Although he's quite big, don't do what he says, he'd stand more of a chance than the rest of us!

Fully agree with Mike perhaps next time he walks down the wicket just nut him and you will have no further problems.

johan you are correct bout him! he has come back to us this season after a few years out thinking he is the best player we have! but last season i was there statistically best bowler and i dont think he likes this fact.
 
and talisman i would but i have just had enough of being put down by him it turning me against a sport i love

How about you get the club chairman to have a word with him about his behaviour. If that doesn't work I would suggest a move. Perhaps see if there are any forum members near you who's team you could join... :)

I think you should talk to the club you play for mate because if your held in any esteem they will listen to you.

Failing that i would stand your ground and always you should remember most aggressive behaviour is not a product of you but a product of another persons personal being.

Of he is taller than you either a quick nut to the nose or a swift one two to the ging gang goolies.

Job's a good un

And Morgan, if he isn't that great you guys can just send him away...don't understand why someone would bowl like that in a net unless I asked them...though once I annoyed a mate by pinging a throwdown into his ankle with my RB so he bounced me all net session...but that was banter. :)
Title: Re: finding a new cricket club!
Post by: imogzyboy on March 10, 2011, 09:02:38 PM
yeah theres a difference between friendly banter and then trying to hurt someone its like in a game you can expect bouncers sometimes cause thats competative but in a net your meant to be playing for the same side
Title: Re: finding a new cricket club!
Post by: johan95 on March 10, 2011, 09:04:58 PM
Exactly. If this is a club you really like, then go and speak to the chairman or your skipper, or an elder member of the club. That kind of behaviour in a net is like that of a hooligan, and it should not go unpunished just out of fear mate. If everyone doesn't like him he can't stay for long I should hope 8)

1, Speak to the committee, tell them everything.
2, If you get the same problem then do in all seriousness stand your ground, you will always find a kn@b in each team and you will gain nothing by moving away.
3, Never headbutt someone, it is the signature move of the coward, had it happen a few times to me on the rugby pitch and in bars and every exponent of this attack has been a snidey gutless coward. Make a fist and aim it at him....

some great advice there

however if you want send me the guys name and address and il pop round there and unleash the gunshow on him ;)

Post by: procricket on March 10, 2011, 10:02:17 PM
I nut people and can assure you iam no coward. (well in my younger days that is too old now)

I prefer to the side hand chop under the nose tend to stun them then it just wham bang...

But in truth it is a bloody game this guy needs to seriously get a grip.

And some of your team mates too if they saw this happen and he is new to the club you must question some of them

i could just put a bat round him :) maybe a tad harsh but meh!

i think as he is a good batsman and we need some they will do what they can to keep hold of him even if it means kssing his ass!
Title: Re: finding a new cricket club!
Post by: johan95 on March 10, 2011, 10:06:27 PM
Try and make peace and point out to him, along with other people, that he shouldn't be trying to injure people before the season, quite a hard situation you seem to be in here really... :(

Yeah I'm in the same position. Realised I am saying all this, but would never resort to a fight, though Dave would own in a fight so I am told :D - thing is is that if you move clubs, you have to start over and work your way up teams AGAIN. That's all I am saying mate... :|

Title: Re: finding a new cricket club!
Post by: Buzz on March 10, 2011, 10:22:32 PM
My advice is to talk to the skipper and tell him your issues. You shouldn't change clubs unless you are looking to further your career as a cricket player and can't do that where you are or you move too far away to play at the club.

If you are getting as much bowling as you are saying you are, your skipper rates you and will want you to play and not leave. The guy is clearly a loose cannon if he can't man up to a bouncer (long hop) from a spinner and laugh. He wont last long at your club, regardless if he is a quality player - which he wont be as he will be too easy to wind up

If you like the club and the majority of the people you play with and also get a fair run there in terms of bowling your full quota etc, it doesn't make sense to move because of one individual - I think you should stand up for yourself.

Just make sure you pick a time when he hasn't got a bat in his hand :)
Title: Re: finding a new cricket club!
Post by: Simmy on March 11, 2011, 08:05:36 AM
if he has got bat in his hand just go really close to him so he cant swing it at u and take it off him lol

on a seriouse note that is no reason to leave the club..

there have been a fair few falls outs at all club and heated moments. sometimes close to blows. but it all gets forgoton about after a while.

but defo speak to your skipper

We've been in a similar situation, not entirely the same, all this is different when that certain player has the backing of the chairman and president, and 10 or so players have had their club ruined by the original k-(No Swearing Please)!

Post by: Beachcricket on March 13, 2011, 04:43:21 PM
Stay and fight him.

I agree with the part of this that says "stay and fight your corner", I assume Talisman is not condoning violence. My advise would be to point out his hypocrisy, I am making a bold assumption admittedly, but I would guess he isn't aware his own behaviour is similar to that which he castigates.

I suspect this is similar to those individuals who enjoy sledging others and then can't take their own medicine.

Post by: tim2000s on March 13, 2011, 06:25:33 PM
Talk to the skipper and explain your issues, but don't get in to name calling. Just state exactly what happened. The likelihood is that this isn't the first time it has happened and I suspect he sees you as a threat to his ego so is "doing you over ". If the skipper is reasonable, he'll keep an eye at the nets sessions and take it offline with the guy without referring directly to you.

However you look at it, it is a form of bullying to try and prove he is top dog. You shouldn't ever let a bully win.

Hate this crap and your supposed team mate as well.

Agree in truth with Tim he has some perosnal malfunction and needs bringing back on line.

If your skipper does not back you you have 2 options i think

hey guys!
thought i would let you all know what the final out come was of the issue,
on monday evening i had nets the **** i had all the problems with came upto me and said he was extremely sorry for the abusive language and threats.
i only feel this happened cause i went to a chairman of the club and the skipper so i feel they must have had a word with guy, they also said i was a stongly valued memeber of the team! which was nice :)
thanks for all your advice guys it deffinetely helped :)
