Who's the best player you've ever got out in a game? Also describe the dismissals!
Mine are...
Will Vanderspar:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/400643.html
Vanderspar was on 49 off about 25 balls, smashing us all over the place... I trundle in for what would have been the last ball of my spell having gone for 20 off the over so far. Bowl a rank full toss, VDS tries to smash it out the ground which results in his middle and leg stump being removed from the ground. He stands there for a good 30 seconds trying to work out what happened!

http://www.espncricinfo.com/netherlands/content/player/219885.html (http://www.espncricinfo.com/netherlands/content/player/219885.html) had no idea who he was and he snicked a cut to the keeper off one that bounced a little when he was on 2-3, mashed us everywhere in the return game though.
and
http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/player/37250.html (http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/player/37250.html) probably the best ball I've ever bowled, he came down the track and didn't quite get there, turned between bat and bad before taking middle and leg. Love reminding my old clubmates opf that story :D
-
probably Imran Hassan - a Wales U19 / Glamorgan 2nds player who plays for Newport CC.
Stumped him off the 1st XI skipper's bowling in a pre season friendly.
-
Gregor Macmillan - ex Gloucs/Leic

Middle stump cartwheeling.
Pasky :-), Bucks opener for a long time:-
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/18665.html
Nicked a little leg cutter to keeper

Myself...every time I bat

I've had him a few times as well mate ;)
-
Alastair Cook, caught behind prodding outside off stump. It was quite frankly Glenn Mcgrath-esque. Just about 20mph slower.
-
Ryan Watkins former Glamorgan all-rounder, i had him caught on the long on boundary.

I spent a year bowling at him when he was 12 and at school and don't remember getting him out... although that says a lot about my bowling!!
-
think it was in my last year of actually bowling regularly. september 2006 before the 5-0 ashes drubbing.

Been lucky to have a couple of scalps in my time;
Devang Gandhi - Ex India test player
Ravi Bopara - about 4-5 years back in a league cup comp
Scott Newman - in a Evening Standard cricket cup comp
Did have charl Willoughby caught behind, but never given, maybe not the best batsman, but a decent bowler.
-
Albie Morkel in the nets, not a game but I'm still claiming it!
Had Lou Vincent dropped in a T20 game a few years back
-
Ian bell, LBW, all over the littel (No Swearing Please) :)!
Used to get hayden lbw quite a bit in nets, then rollins would smash me!
-
Luke List Oxon batsman
Smashed 150 off about 30 overs had him ct + bowled smashed one back head height and umpire thanked me as was gonna hit him straight between the eyes.

Which Rollins would you be talking about?
-
My best scalp was last season, a guy called Reuben Reid who made his Gloucestershire 2nd XI debut when he was 14 as an all-rounder. He probably would have made a career out of cricket if he didn't play professional football! I had him caught at mid-off from my part time leggies, then hit 50 odd when we batted, I'd say 99% of the balls he bowled to me were bouncers....
-

The big lad Adrian.
-
Got Chris Woakes out back at school back when he just bowled hit a few then got him stumped off a wide :D
-
The big lad Adrian.
Lol, you got high tower out. Top lad he is, played with him for 2-3 years, he was probably one of the best bats i have had the pleasure to bat with. Very technical and can make hitting a long ball look easy. His brother Rob used to be a machine and was sooo unlucky not to keep for england years ago.
-
I dismissed Terry Duffin (ex Zimbabwe test opener & captain) a couple of years ago, when he was playing for Winsley!! A beauty of an arm ball that went through the gate :)
-
winsley have had a fair few zimmers havent they?
-
Not sure mate - they had an Indian before him and they have a Kiwi this year.
