What do you say to your team as a captain after a loss like that!

It's a joke, I called our first team game off on Saturday and told the second team captain to go with his original 11. Didn't want him asking any first teamers and knocking young guys out of their place.

I felt stupid when I made up the numbers for the seconds in a pre season friendly and hit 75 so I retired at drinks

Good stuff mate, really winds me up when people play at too low a level and I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't drop all your 1st team down to the 2's if they don't have a game.

Nothing wrong with a good competitive game but if someone talented plays at a low level surely it doesnt do anyone any good - can't be good practice playing at a standard that isn't challenging.
Title: Re: Ridiculous scorecard
Post by: petehosk on June 13, 2012, 11:40:15 AM
I thought that the 1st and 2nd XI had to register 8 players who are only allowed to play for their team?
For example, the captain was required to registered 8 players for the 1st XI who can only play for the 1st XI!!
Or am I wrong?

Yep - obviously someone with talent but why play at that level if you've played at County level and 1st XI is minimum your level! I guess he has issues and wants to big himself up!
In my view he doesn't care about the game and how his actions will affect the opposing team and how they view the game!! Playing in the right spirit of the glorious game? Not that idiot obviously!!

I'm pretty sure someone pulled out from the 2nd XI on the morning of the game and being the coach, he was around anyway.  And its not like he's dropped to Local Division 7 to play, Southern League Bronze isn't exactly a piss-take league.  Danny Briggs has regularly played silver over the last few years and he played for England this year.

I very much agree with players dropping down to lower level not giving them a chance but personally if I was a young player and I saw that performance, I would be impressed and would certainly be motivated to work harder on my game.  And how are we to know if the other scorecards posted were of players dropping down?

I have no ties to either him or the club, I'm just saying I find it surprising it got such a universally negative response.
Title: Re: Ridiculous scorecard
Post by: cricketbadger on June 13, 2012, 01:29:28 PM
330 is ridiculous though, fairplay him dropping down to help the side out ad field 11 players, but there is no need for him to continue that far past 100. like someone previously said in this post, they helped out their seconds and found it easy, so retired at drinks on 75 or so to give others a chance
why hasnt this bloke done something similar?
Title: Re: Ridiculous scorecard
Post by: spl on June 13, 2012, 01:45:13 PM
I agree that when he got to certain score (100 probably), should have just given it away.

I thought someone might bring this one up, I opened the bowling in this game as we were without 3 of our main bowlers and was shocking. He's a first class player in south Africa and batted really well, nice bloke too but really shouldn't have been playing in a midweek works league at this level.

Who do you play for Kieron?

He didn't have to give it away!
He could have (and should have) retired his innings and kept his dignity! That would prove he's a bigger man than if he bullies a lower standard team to destruction, which is what he did.
It's fine that he wanted batting practice, but 100 retired would have surely given him enough.

Its a tough one, isn't it - I mean, on the one hand there is an argument that a game is your best XI versus the other sides best XI and if one of yours happens to be a bit good then what the hell.  On the other...

I guess I see both sides of this one - I played for a very week work side for years and made regular hundreds.  It was in no way fulfilling but I got a half day off in the sunshine and a beer with some guys I got on well with, so I played.  But I rarely batted higher than five or six (I'm superglued to the top four anywhere else) and would like to think that I knew when to call it a day.  And when asked my high score, none of that is ever mentioned!

Hi GBD19, I was actually playing for Davy Mckee's last year for a bit.

I moved to MWCC this year and now play for them midweek as well.

Vinit looks to be playing for our 3rd team, although i've seen his name etc i've never actually played a game with him.

Always heard he was a good bloke but yeah, think he was a bit below his level this time!

Hmm I disagree having never seen anyone retire in Saturday league cricket.  Plus, giving it away would have given someone from the oppo the prize of his wicket.

Looks like you got me out last year mate, I was the tall bloke who basically hits everything across line to leg. I got 36 and 46 against you before you denied me a 50.

Post by: trypewriter on June 13, 2012, 03:03:55 PM
I played in a few 'beer' games over the years and sensibly they usually had a 25 and out rule (or 30 if you got to 24 and struck a lordly blow. But obviously that is very different to league cricket, these were purely social games and the rules were there to keep them sociable.

What prize would that be exactly? The batsmen GIVING his wicket to a poor helpless bowler?

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more! Better to retire! It's a little derogatory to 'gift' your wicket away on purpose - like something you'd do to a 5 year old! Retire on 100 and you have had your batting practice and the game is still not a complete lost cause for the opposition!
It's very different if the player was a normal 2nd XI player and was just having a superb day and had been dropped 15 times! But it looks pretty obvious what the situation was here!

we had a similar situation last season in a friendly. The oppo batted first on a good deck and the aussie overseas batted/crawled his way to 100 in about 32/33 overs. We stuck on our worst 3 non-cricketers to bowl and thought he would take a hint...he didn't and racked up 170 something not out. Made my blood boil as when he got a 100 they were only 2 down with 7/8 overs to go and they never once considered giving the other guys a bat. Mood wasn't helped when chasing 320 in 40 overs, they put 4 guys on the boundary after 3 overs. Simmy still scored 50 in 6 overs lol, but we were bowled out for 220 in 30 overs.

They've promised no overseas this season and it's a nice spot so all good in the end.

How would the bowler know if he played around a straight one on purpose?  Like I said, I've never heard of anyone retiring in a competitive southern league match.  I also quite clearly said earlier he should have stopped after 100.  Don't turn this on me, I was posting a relevant ridiculous scorecard, and similarly saying the guy was clearly "bullied at school" is a bit off if you've never met him and don't know the full story.  Neither do I but there seems to be no personal attack and schoolboy name-calling on any other of the scores.

Have tried to find a scorecard from a few years back in the Leicestershire league, when one of my best mates was playing for a team that had the swapped the first team for the second team in a ruse to keep the second team in their division. Unfortunately my pal and his 2nd XI colleagues playing four divisons higher than they normally would came up against former West Indies A team player Andy Jackman who lost a total of 21 balls on his way to 305* I think!!!

Apparently my mate dropped him as well.......when he was on 291 haha!

Title: Re: Ridiculous scorecard
Post by: petehosk on July 10, 2012, 10:09:26 AM
I reckon they would have done that a couple of wickets earlier if they would have wanted that! Plus they only knocked the runs off when their number 7 and 8 bat put on a bit of a partnership, so they must of still needed 50+ with 5 or 6 wickets down! That would have worried most teams with their top 6 batsmen out and just the tail to chase them down!  :(

defended 71 at ICI Paints in 2001 - I was the only person to make double figures in the match from what I recall.  A few years ago for the CS side we had a wierd one - we lost three wickets in the first over and two in the second then totalled 229, our opening bowler was on a hat trick the fourth ball of their reply...

...and they knocked them off two down...  >:(

Actually we were on tour in essex in 2009 and had a bit of a strange game!
We batted first and were 3 for 3 off 3 overs!!
We then recovered with both bats hitting a ton, one of which was arounf 140!
So we went from 3-3 to 230-3 (or more!) and won that game.

peteH - reminds me of a story told by Bill Tallon, bro of legendary wicketkeeper Don - Bill was a leggie.
it went something like: 'We decided to start with my spin and and I flighted a good 'un down to their number one, our Don pouched it and they were 1 for 3 which brought in Bradman. I drew their number 2 forward in my next over, our Don stumped him and they were 2 for 6. The prize was when I did Bradman with a wrong un and our Don caught him - 3 for 335!' :D

Early in June East Oxford 2nds beat Clifton Hampden 1st by one run
East Oxford 340-7, Clifton Hampden 339-2 in 45 overs
Clifton Hampden needed 5 off the last over with 10 wickets in hand, but there captain got out on the second ball of the over for 202 and the incoming batsmen could not get the runs.

Also in my division Ducklington seconds were bowled out for 10 a few weeks ago.

Looks like there might be one on the way at Guildford, Surrey 10-5 off 6 overs.. The loss of Maynard(and RHB's time off due to this) plus Pietersen not always being available is hitting them really hard. Makes you wonder why they felt Ramprakash was no longer part of their plans considering how weak the batting line-up is..

Theres a very fine line between being a very good cricketer at a particular level and being someone who is taking the proverbial at the level.  For the most part, clubs are pretty decent about this sort of thing, usually guided by the principle that noone drops a player who could be scoring hundreds for the ones into their threes etc, but there are some obvious "mistakes" such as the Dave Taylor incident...

Come to think of it, I dropped this lad from the week before...

I don't mind that as the 2 guys who scored the runs didn't have a great average and the guy who hit the double ton had a highest score of 58 before that knock. The other guy who hit a ton looks as though that was his first ton as well.
What must the bowling have been like!  :o

The losing team only had 8 players, the guy that went for well over 100 runs hadn't bowled for that team since 2007 so was clearly part-time at best and with 6 fielders they were always going to get smashed around.

Playing cricket with 8 players is never fun. having spent last season with most games having 8, it always bugged me how the opposition captain wanted to bat first. it was clear they was going to win and smash us around with the gaps in the field. but this form of posting a massive score which a team of 8 players is not going to get just destroys the game. this often puts the younger players into a bad mindset about the game and may not want to play games. At many of our levels cricket is played for enjoyment as for many of us our county days are far behind us.

Had a look today at the 2012 starts for Play Cricket as a whole to see who achieved the most wickets as a wicket keeper last year.

A junior seemed to come in at number 3 who also plays for York 1st XI in the ECB Yorkshire League which is pretty impressive all round.

Had a look at a couple of scorecards and came across this.

http://www.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=11386048 (http://www.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=11386048)

On the flip side, if you are against 8 players and you bowl first, and they only post a small ish total (say 150-170) then with the gaps in the field it's less of a game for them. I'd imagine that and the fact people can see 50/100's being easier than normal means they bat first. I have to admit I'd bat first and be aiming for a 50/100 just for personal stats. LIke you say, the win is obvious (assuming it's a similar level of players!).

I know that's probably the most fun for the team with 8 but I'd imagine most would do this as they would enjoy it more.

Well this is a while ago now. But the league didn't have bonus points for batting. Being that we was the whipping boys the year before winning zero and getting bowled out for under 100 will a full squad they knew what they was doing.

Safe to say fortunes went up after this ending up mid table.

Not quite a scorecard, as I cannot find it currently, but I thought I'd add this as it is one of mine and is my club's record stand for each wicket partnership.

It is for the 9th wicket, I doubt it will ever get broken as you have to be in a position to have the number 10 in early enough to have the time to get the runs, yet the player be good enough not to get out.  It was a friendly 40-over match and we had a lot of young up and coming cricketers against a raggety bunch of older blokes.  I said I was happy to bat down the order to give the others a chance and took my position as umpire for the first 10 overs.

After about 8 overs I had to rush off to pad up and came into bat in the 11th(?) over when the score was 22-8.  Me and another then put an unbroken 171.  The only person below us was an 11 year old who didn't want to bat.

Our 2nds had yet to win a game this season after getting relegated and then gave the team who went down with them an absolute mauling making 279-6 dec off 24. Amazing to think that at one point they were backs to the wall against the 9 men(who won the toss and fielded first) at 14-2 and that the centurion is a guy who has been batting at 10/11 for the 1sts.

Whilst winning after declaring on 10 overs to crush a team takes some doing it must be noted that Brincliffe are the local cricket equivalent of San Marino   with only one cricketer playing in that match and yes they had two postman, two doctors and a teacher in the line up..... I know this because they are my wed night team.. two weeks ago we finally won a game after waiting 699 days since the last one. Kieron BT will be interested to know that Eddie Raper is a former player ( and welcome back anytime) It is truly cricket played for crickets sake with no expectation of winning or egos. Just 11 ( or sometimes 10,9) wanting to playing knowing they will get a hiding but smiling through it.

Don't have the scorecard, but I was involved in a game where my whole team got bowled out for 7 (We had 9 or 10 players -can't remember, but wasn't a full team)

Was in U-16's and we had a lot of players pull out, so had to get some U-14's and even an U-12's player to fill in. I came in at 3.

I got 4 n.o with the rest of the score being wides. Bowlers weren't doing a lot, the deck was good and it was a sunny day. It just seemed like no one understood that you didn't need to swing at everything.

Worst day of cricket I've been involved in. Haven't had anything close to it since though, so that's good.

Even worse Bilton got themselves to 70-6 before collapsing for a 2nd time. Then Otley are 59-9 and 9/11 knock off the 15 runs required. That said it is Yorkshire and I've won a game defending 44 before. Hardly surprising when the track was dry/cracked with wet green patches, add in some typical knee deep grass on a sodden outfield and you have a low scoring game.

Bilton is normally a decent wicket and nice ground, and the weather was decent if I remember rightly
Davies has played Bradford league, so a decent player, and then a bilton bowler takes 8for as well
On the same day, one of our lads hit the first 5 balls of an over for 6 before missing the final ball

That was in my league, we played them a few games back and their whole side especially the keeper were very vocal but Brent's was a class act, by far and away the best player with bat and ball. Luckily I caught him on 65 before he couldve gone bananas. Was very humble after the game as well. Top Bloke!

Not as ridiculous a scorecard as some on here, but the surprising thing is that 2 ex Scotland Internationals are playing in the 9th tier of Scottish club cricket. McLaren has had injuries I believe but it's still crazy that 2 guys of that age and ability are playing at a level where usually mainly juniors and old men.

Hits to the long boundary, down the slope, had to be all-run, but the three short boundaries only counted for two runs.[6] so most of the two's were boundaries.

A team in one of the lower leagues we play in hit over 400 in a league game (46 overs) we came close a few weeks back in the cup (40 overs) hitting 397. We then bowled the oppo for 95 hahaha bad day at the office for them.

Point taken, I was thinking of just Saturday's as that's all I get to play these days. May get the odd mid week 20/20 but that's not classed as a league.

Our (Marlow Vets) overseas helped himself to a cheeky ton on Sunday - batting 8. Included 32 off one over, he hit the first 4 balls for 6 but couldn't finish it off. His bat was a plank, so we swapped for the last few overs.

Being a Vets team we are a bit rubbish (to be playing Cherwell Div2 teams) so it's probably not a surprise he dominated the averages:-

Nothing special really but bowls decent wheels, full and swings it in.

When I played Lashings James Marshall (not even a count player anymore) and Ian Buttler (lower order batsman) smashed it to every part of the ground and put something like 220 on in 20 overs without even breaking a sweat. Just unreal talent that you don't realise when just watching.

The guy that got 198* for the opposition is an old head who had previously played Dunnington 1st team in every other game of the season.  That is 12-13 divisions higher than this standard's league.

We don't get bowling points but we do get winning and losing draws.  I doubt the last wcket would have held out for another 30 overs or however long left they had to get a losing draw, but given there was a big black cloud starting to come over and we had an hour and a half drive to get back home, I told him politely to do one.  I only changed the bowlers because my opening pair are both under 18

I missed the game as did pretty much all of our other bowlers and against a good team our mixture of 2nd teamers and part timers didn't stand a chance.. They made 406/6 off 45 and we ended up 149 all out..

Lewes - Thats my old club from about 10 years ago when i was at Uni - what happened to them how comes they are now so low down the divisions. They used to be a good Div 1 club. John Moore was in the 2s as a wiley old bowler back then, 10 years on and hes now in the 1st XI???

because the relied heavily on a gun overseas for years and the rest of the team never got a game and just left. Unfortunately they shouldn't have been allowed in the league this year as they gift 30 points each week and their twos are even worse. Shame, they used to be a popular club.

Martham have been flying up the leagues for a few years. Surprised they are still climbing! What league is that?

That is division 1 of the Norfolk cricket league where they have won all of their 12 completed games this year! Yeah last year was the first time in many years that they haven't achieved promotion, and the only reason that happened was because of a massive points deduction after a 14 man brawl during a match.. Think it's going to take them several more years to finally find their standard..

In our game against them this year, some of the batters looked like they had never held a bat.  They truly were woeful apart from their current overseas.  It's always a shame to see a club deteriate as they have over the last few years.

When i was there Kyron Lynch was their overseas player. Michael Murray was the skipper, i belive he used his contacts (his dad is Deryck Murray) to get gun West Indians. Is he still about?
They had a few decent home grown players i thought. Used to pick up a couple of the Uni lads too. I know they spent a few years playing at Falmer because the STG outfield wasnt up to scratch. Really sad to hear they arnt doing too good.

Unfortunately Murray left for another local team and took with him his West Indian contacts which gutted the club. Combine that with the ground sinking and general neglect of the pav and it became an unattractive place to play. They were a top top team and one a Sussex Prem title in the 90s. The following year they had Bevan as their assigned Sussex player!

When the subject of getting an overseas comes up at our club I always use them of an example of the worst that can happen if you get someone "too good". Obviously it's not as simple as that but I do feel they spent too much money on getting one player each year rather than looking after the rest of the team.

Well it was described to me as a 14 man brawl however it was all 11 of Martham's first team and one of their 2nd teamers (who was watching as their game was off) fighting against one of their opposition and his dad(who again was just there to watch) with various weapons being used including glass bottles and stumps! And the cause of it all was a no ball call!

Bloody hell! We have one guy in my team who bowls loads of no balls. He's a big 6ft7 bouncer and refuses to accept he ever bowls a no ball, the toys seriously come out of the pram whenever he gets called it. I make a point of moving myself to mid on/off to keep an eye on him and try calm him down when it happens to avoid such a scenario!

Hook and Southborough are a really weak team. We played them last year and they didn't put up much of a fight and I think both of their adult teams are struggling in their leagues. However he has a decent knock holding that innings together or did he just tee off from the start?

We had a really stong side out that day, but they were very poor.

He was dropped very early on (single figures), but at leas he made a game of it, played fairly sensibly and put the crap stuff away.

They blokes stood at the other end, not really knowing how to play some of the balls. But at the end of the day it was a game of cricket...just shorter than most!!

Don't you just hate it when there's a ringer on the oppo's team >:(

We played against a team with two overseas Sri Lankan's once, the skipper had decided to use our Sunday friendly game as a warm up for their upcoming league championship match. They opened the batting and eventually the rest of their squad started shouting that there's 9 others that came here to play cricket.

Turned up to play Guildford City once, on a Sunday, they had all three of their overseas players (All 1st class/international players) in their top three...

Ashish Bagai (Canada Captain) scored 150* as they put on 400-2.

Glad I was injured and only there to watch... Fun day... ???

Gouldy has played Sussex 2s and premier league cricket, at a number of clubs.  Used to play At Brighton and Hove, would still be in the firsts I would expect if he was still there.  The league he his playing in now is between Brighton's 3rds and 4ths so way below the level he should be at.

Not Brook Walton or Liams fault but why do leagues put new teams right at the bottom when clearly they are capable of playing a division or two higher? What I gathered on facebook is he was dropped from the 1st XI as he was struggling for runs but didn't the league ever think that would happen to somebody?  Liam in Div 8 is asking for trouble, knowing the nice lad he is I bet he was a little bit embarrassed about it! Still great to have a league double hundred to your name.

What I gathered on facebook is he was dropped from the 1st XI as he was struggling for runs but didn't the league ever think that would happen to somebody?  Liam in Div 8 is asking for trouble, knowing the nice lad he is I bet he was a little bit embarrassed about it! Still great to have a league double hundred to your name.

like i said to liam other night 200 is 200 we have all played games against terrible teams. how many sunday games did i play againts  shocking oppo and not score 200 takes some doing.

but the league have really made mistakes. as even if you put liam aside being  dropped there second team is very strong.

There are a lot of players in there second team that played div1 over the last 2 seasons.

Totally ridiculous! They have had a number of teams concede against them, would you want to turn up and play against superior opponents?

They have players who have played in a bottom league who could easily play in the top division.

Sounds like they are embarrassing the league for not putting them in high enough. In my opinion they should have gone in 5, they would probably have won that but had a few more games. I heard that they made their opinion known at meetings and that the case was not helped by the first team going against word in attracting players from same league. Personally what should this matter, surely its about participation and enjoyment more than anyone's moral standing.

We played them in a cup game on Sunday, we lost by 6 wickets (But with only 17 balls remaining) it was acknowledged that we had given them a game.

I'd imagine it's mainly the bowlers who complain about Oppo's playing below themselves. As a batsman I enjoy playing decent bowling, even if I don't get many runs. Far more rewarding than biffing some 15 year old leggy around.

Our division is a complete mismatch of teams it was designed for single teams but what has happen is that strong teams from top divisions have dropped there 2Nd's and thirds and come into the division which is padded out with 3rd teams you can more or less  predict before the season starts who will finish where.

Sadly(on my behalf) I looked at his stats.

Played for the same side for a while.

Last ton came in 2011 for them off which he scored 3 that year.
Not really had a lean spell but wasn't phenomenal at that level either(averaging between 20 and 30 over 20 odd games each year)


Then bam!! Have some 350! He came off well.


Not like he's a pro playing well below his level. Well played dude.

That is tiny!

Having said that, I've played on a ground that small and thought - how hard is it to just knock them over that straight boundary? I can hit every other ball for six! I got tied up by the spinner and stumped for 4, so I know from experience that a small ground doesn't make batting easy.

Having been out a few times to him myself I can confirm he's a really good bowler and to my mind as good as some of the young lads on the county circuit at the moment.

I'd imagine @Vitas Cricket is a little annoyed about the shirt/picture as most of the Peterborough lads have Vitas clapped on their shirts.

We won with 9 players bowling first in a 2020 game last year.

Made sense to us, best chance of winning was chasing as second innings no score would ever have been enough due to the gaps in the field on offer!

I's love to know what happens after these games a side is bowled out for 12 or 15 or sommat. Here's a suggestion for those not able to go home early to the misses/dog/mistress/ps2.

the wibbly wobbly game. You need a/11 halves of lager.a club cap/a stump/a tray to hold the lager
place the stump 22 yards away,put the club cap on the stump, line up 22 yards away.

down the lager in one, run to the stump,put your head on the cap and turn round 10 times, grab the cap and run back relay style to your next team mate who does the same thing.
You won't finish the game and there's no winners but try running back in a straight line..

We knocked over a team for 40-50 odd once, knocked it off for 1 or 2 down and then played a t20. It depends who the team is and how willing they are after getting smashed. We reversed our batting order and won the t20 by 70 odd runs. At least all players got to bat and bowl.

Poor lad, at least he didn't go for a ton.

Always nice to see an overseas get pleasure in destroying 13 year olds bowling. Where does that rank alongside his first class cricket achievements?

We had a kiwi who was a gun player and if realised he was far too good, he'd simply remove himself from the game. Bat 11 not bowl and just field. He loved playing any game of cricket and loved seeing everyone else do well. But refused to ruin other people weekends if the teams were mismatched. He took no personal enjoyment from smashing kids or old men about. Shame there aren't more about like him.

Pathetic. You can bat properly vs 'lesser' bowling and score quick enough without at any point taking the Nick. Just keep it on the deck and practice placing it. For some reason as we see on here sometimes, people love scoring loads or taking loads of wickets bs crap teams and aren't interested in making a game of it.

Hopefully these teams will struggle to find fixtures in the coming years

truly pointless cricket, those that get satisfaction smashing around teams way below them really do a dis- service to the game.

I think the increasing amount of players being paid in the amateur game is making the situation worse

it goes on a lot in amateur cricket, not only paid per game but wickets and runs bonus....

this must make the situation worse surely?

And they blame peoples changing lifestyles for the decline of Sunday cricket. It's not, it's people not wanting to give up a day to feed the ego of a failed professional cricketer

So I brought up the fact that the focus has shifted in sunday cricket from simply putting a fun game on for 22 blokes to one side taking it seriously and taking apart the other side. This leads to people simply not wanting to play etc.  Of course, I got shouted down as its because of time issues..

We as a club played strong Sunday sides in 2013-15 and racked up 300's week in week out. Sure enough, we lost shed loads of fixtures and teams are pulling out the Sunday league left right and centre as they are fed up of getting smashed. One side in our league got hit for 365 runs off 40 overs and simply went home (not saying it's right or wrong, just that they obviously felt it was a bit OTT ). Sadly they've already said they will leave the league (we are also leaving it), so in 4 years it's gone from about 8 divisions to about 3/4.

A side last year took it seriously, smashed everyone and moaned teams weren't putting good teams out.. It's Sunday, it might be a good team but the bowlers are batting and batters are bowling :) they moved leagues and have found another is just the same.

Poorly managed by the league then. Hard to have a go so much at the batsmen then, makes a mockery if you don't play your hardest in league cricket.But the league should have managed that better, whether its a temporary thing or not people will not want to carry on playing cricket every saturday if they are going to conceed 450 runs then get rolled for 50 runs.

I stand by what I said about that Sunday friendly though.

My Sunday league team newly formed in 2011 have progressed through the mansfield district league's with a few promotions whilst picking up a few players, yep we win most weeks and hopefully the league will place us at a suitable level next year. But we tend to give everyone a go. On several occasions this year our opening bowlers have been clearly too good and have been removed from the attack within the spirit of the game. the only teams we've occasionally bullied are the 'big clubs' in the league that play the odd 1st teamer with several county/district youths cos just because. But never those nice little village teams. :)

This in my opinion is just wrong. But some may not agree

http://yorksderby.play-cricket.com/website/results/2966536 (http://yorksderby.play-cricket.com/website/results/2966536)


So the away side post 219 from there 46 overs.
Rules in our league are if you don't make 50% of the first innings score, you forfeit all bonus points, and oppo receive full points regardless of if you manage to bat out or not.

So it baffles me why they slow marched to 34 runs from 29 overs, of which 14(the top scorer) were extras.
So that's only 20 runs off the bat in 29 overs.

Anyone else able to explain what they were going for? Surely they can't enjoy cricket like that? (either side)

Like to point out for anyone claiming a mismatch, the team who got 34 were our entire league champions as recent as 4 seasons ago........

Whilst we are talking about players being 'too good' - what are peoples views on a player playing for team - lets say in a kent league - then next week play for a club in the sussex league. without a transfer between clubs.

My view is that this should not happen.....but interested in others views.

We've got a player who does this, played for Abberton in Essex on Saturdays then us on a Sunday, he does it because of work meaning he'd never be able to get back for a Saturday game after having to work early hours Saturday in Essex but lives 15 minutes away from our ground in Kent so makes sense for him to play for us.

We have another as well who's currently at Uni so for the first part of the season on Saturdays up until June he plays for a club local to uni, and then when he comes back will play for us; I think it's a good thing as for examples like this it means people can play the most cricket without worrying about transfers and deadlines etc

Ok, so think about a player rocking up - scoring the most runs, taking wickets, playing his first game for them - probably never again....#Ringer #NotFair!

Agree wouldn't be fair, but how often that actually happens is another matter. Youve got to think you only ever find out someone plays different leagues on different days or different places etc when they do something ridiculous and the score card gets flagged up, how much cricket is played that, apart from by  the players involved, never has the scorecard looked at.

Agree the system leaves a loop hole but telling loads and loads of 18-22 year olds that they either have to miss the first half of their season, last half or try and get a transfer half way through which could be rejected or missed by the cut off date if the rules were changed could be an awful lot more damaging to cricket as a whole

If I didn't turn out when they are short, the team would struggle and probably have to forfeit matches
Plus on the odd occasions when I do make the 400 mile round trip, I get to play cricket with my son

Is that ok churchy?

On a similar note, would be interested in people's views on age etc, when talking about playing below levels etc
I'm being told this year,(playing in the bottom div) that I need to play regularly in the ones in the higher divs
Thing is, I really can't be ar@d anymore, I'm not in good enough shape to chase a ball around for 45 overs in the field
And some of the tools! That seem to proliferate the higher divs, really bore me with the stupid banter etc

I will add, that my batting av is higher for the ones, so I'm not really taking the pee too much in the twos

Tbh, I'm not that fussed about playing anymore, but agreed to help out a new second team in their first season
A lovely club,with a cracking bunch of lads,
Something I've really enjoyed, and something I benefited from when playing as a youngster

I am with you about age @Northern monkey as I am older than you.
As this is the first season that we have had a 2nd XI for a while, I actually find it harder to bat against that slower standard of bowling!!
But hopefully slowly adapting to it.

Even though I have a reasonable level of fitness endurance, I still end up feeling very stiff and slow when fielding sometimes! For the last year or two, I have certainly yearned for the slower and less frenetic pace of a 2nd XI team!! 100% with you there mate!!

Questions

1) why would anyone want to play in that game ?
2) why would the team who just got hit for 300+ on a Sunday ever want to play a fixture against that club again ?
3) is nobody embarrassed that a player , captain and club feel the need to actually hit that many runs on a Sunday ?

People really don’t get that that sort of crap is what can put people right off playing.. let alone playing on a Sunday !

Just for context (not that I agree with it) the beds league on a Sunday is a pretty competitive affair, full of pros and overseas players playing for different clubs on a Saturday in neighbouring areas. I know some guys from peterborough who travel there on a Sunday for some cash. I know this is a second team game being discussed. I have no idea how much the standard drops down the divisions

For those whinging about the Ampthill ton probably right to understand a couple of things first

1) It was competitive league cricket not a Sunday friendly.
2) The guy was playing at his level not a first teamer playing down
3) Declarations are banned in the league and clubs get a points deduction and fine if you declare so you have no choice but to bat your innings.
4) Just appreciate a decent knock?

Look, I don't like calling someone I've never met an absolute pr1ck. 

But...having made 343 not out, did he really need to bowl 8 overs when noone else got to?  It is perhaps telling that two of the oppo "retired out"...

Respect your right to an opinion but at the very least point 2 is wrong - the Nidderdale is one of a number of smaller leagues in that part of the world that play 1st and 2nd XI games on different days to allow some cross pollination.  He played for their ones the day after in their scheduled fixture.

I think the note at the top is spot on. It would have not been a lot of fun to watch a side rack up over 300 runs then attempt to chase it with 10 men made up juniors and volunteers. They all got a bat and fair play to them they stuck around for 15 overs

people are always gonna look for the downsides in everything.



Khan are a premier league club, that have been in that division for a while.

The opposite fixture, collegiate only chased down the oppos score with 3 balls left of there innings, a closely fought  contest.

The division has many pros play in it, billy root has played  a few this year, a few fringe ipl players, a sri lankan t20 champion, and every sides overseas plays week in week out.

Micheal Simpson is not colleagiates pro or anywhere near, he’s a builder and turned up at the game straight from work.

I'll try and dig out the scorecard but it's about 10 years ago so not sure if it's around...played away at Stokenchurch, we batted first and got 220 I think. They were 218-4 And collapsed to 219 all out!

We had one at Uni - away to Keele.  We were 201-2, Finished up 208 all out.  Though to be fair, that was the last five overs or so of the game (I got a brilliant red ink 4, if you're interested?)

Oddly, Keele nearly did the same - they were 190-2 and got the total 9 down with their number 11 hitting back to back fours.

It was our third team which played n the D&D league as our ones and twos were in the Durham county cricket league.  I had a poke around the D&D league website and was surprised to see Etherly 1’s in division C they were always a decent side in the DCCL and I got my first 50 against their 2’s. Aldbrough St John was always a wonderful place to play cricket followed by chips and a drink in the pub over the road (if I remember correctly). Middleton st. George was a decent place to play. Barton was always a fun game with a father and son who played and always ended up falling out with each other

One of the things that really annoys me about cricket in this game.  For context Dales Council Division B is an average to below average standard of cricket certainly nowhere close to pushing the premier league standards and the visiting team is a third team.
Hundreds for both opening batsman as the home team racks up 414 in 40 overs, fair play lads well batted.  Nice bit of hitting for number 4 with a quickfire 66 as well, no issues with what they've done there.  Not content with hitting 168 has to open the bowling and send down 12 overs.  108 opening the batting, give me 11 overs first change please skip.  66 at number 4, let me open as well. 
336 runs between the three of them and then they bowl 30 of the available 40 overs in the second innings!  No wonder there is a struggle in retaining players when you see things like that, can't be much fun for the majority of players in that game.
Maybe they had literally nobody else who could bowl but personally I would be embarrassed to even be asked to open the bowling in those circumstances.

This is my Saturday team, but unfortunately I wasn't playing, so missed an amazing performance.

To put this game into context, we'd played the same team in the league the week before. We had them 51-4, before one of their guys came in and smashed 155 off 79 balls. They finished 293-4 and skittled us for 93. Well, we certainly got our revenge on Saturday. Our guy, Will, who starred is still at school and has hardly played this year due to school match commitments. He's a fine player, but even for him 146 and 5-5 are quite extraordinary.

The league informed us that it's the second highest winning margin in the leagues history.  :D

More often than not it’s not the bowling which is so drastic although it can be

It’s the fielding and the drops etc

However the scores are ridiculous

Since majority of recreational cricket is not paid 99% plus I assume why not enjoy your Saturday and play lower and score big

I guess if its a League fixture and no rules have been broken the club cant really be blamed.

Picking your strongest available 11 for a League fixture is fairly common procedure. If it was a friendly I would say different.

Maybe the Rules and Regs need looking at if you can manufacture this much of a standard gap?

To be honest, it could have been stronger; Joe Byrnes is our registered overseas player from Australia and plays in our Saturday 1st XI and Harry Houldsworth is our leading run scorer (uses TLC) and has been playing in our 1st and 2nd XI; the rest of the team was a mixture of 2nd and 3rd XI players.

Ayaz Shah used to play a high level of cricket and he is suffering from tennis elbow; it was our last league game in the Chess Valley League and with our nearest competitor having a game in hand and if they win they would finish on the same points as us, but with our now superior runs per wicket calculation (not net run rate), we should have guaranteed winning the league; our Saturday 1st XI were relegated from the Essex 1st XI Premier on Saturday, our Saturday 2nd XI will finish mid table in the 2nd XI Premier and our Saturday 3rd XI are 1 point behind 2nd place and if our 3rd XI win and 2nd place lose, we should be promote into the 3rd XI Premier for the first time in the club's history. Our club has grown in strengthen this season (from the 2nd XI below) due to our impressive colt system which had previously brought through Dan Lawrence.
