Title: Your first Michelle...
Post by: Buzz on May 28, 2012, 04:31:58 PM
on the back of Blazers topic and Tim's comments - when was your first 5-fer.

mine was playing in a league third team game, not sure how old I was... I had to block out for a draw when I subsequently went out to bat lower down the order to give everyone a game and had a fun partnership too - it was a good day - draw achieve, but I was admonished by the skipper for not trying to win the match... !!

5 days before my 15th birthday, first time I had bowled for our 1st XI.  Quite a bit of fortune in some of them.

5/26 when I was 19.
3 LBW's, 1 caught and bowled and one bowled.
Last one was bowled and was an effort ball, pushed it thru a fair bit quicker and took off peg!

When I was 12 I think, 5-18 playing for my dads team. Clean bowled the first 3, next one was caught off a skyer and then the last was bowled off the batters pads.

Only had one more in the 6 years since then

took 7 for 9 of 4 overs in an under 14s game which included 4 wickets in 4 balls and 5 in the over, Not had another 5 wicket match since that and its been 5 years or so

Under 18's final, when the oppo rocked up, they said they would take away the cup. However I thought differently. I batted through the 16 for 56, slow I know. But then bowled my team to victory, took 5-8 and bowled the oppo out for 24. I was also fairly hungover from the previous night :|

5/36 from 9 overs two seasons ago was my first. I was swining it all over the place that day. Three were bowled, one LBW and one caught. My first wicket came about after one of their batsmen was dropped at point; they got a single and I bowled the other guy out with my next delivery. I still give the guy who dropped that catch a hard time, even though I got that batsman out eventually. I could've got seven, I had two overs left when I took my fifth, but their final couple of batsmen dug in, survived a couple of close shouts and played the swing better than the others had.

The week before my 16th birthday, got 4 wickets in my first spell to get rid of their top order. Captain brought me back on with them 9 down and got my 5th wicket on the final ball of that over(lucky I did because it would have almost certainly been taken by the other bowler if not). 7-1-5-18
