done :)
Finally, a victory for those of us that bat 9,10,11 and don't bowl haha. With the collapse of the third XI, I'll be the joey/fielder for the 2nd XI if needed

Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: roco on January 11, 2013, 05:06:00 PM: Just put an all rounder bit
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: Gelds on January 11, 2013, 05:16:40 PM: Mainly a top order batsman although can bowl reasonable seamers and am a competent wicket keeper at the level I play.
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: 19reading87 on January 11, 2013, 05:19:06 PM: Allrounder :D
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: Rew162 on January 11, 2013, 05:36:37 PM: I went for allrounder for two reasons:

1 - I'm equally good/bad at batting, bowling and fielding
2 - I'm round in shape :D
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: Vitas Cricket on January 11, 2013, 05:40:34 PM: What about the 'No-Rounder' option?

Ooops, i guess Joey covers it.

I opted for keeper by the way. I bat in the top 5 too, but thought i better shore up the votes to keep the keepers union strong.

Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: joeylough on January 11, 2013, 06:37:57 PM: Well im a joey. I'm classed as a.batsman and bat 4/5 but my posts on the other thread show I am clearly a.joey.

Also im joeylough for a reason.

Trying my hand at keeping next season....
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: forester123 on January 12, 2013, 09:26:08 AM: Wicket keeping batsman.
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: LeonieKelly18 on January 22, 2013, 03:03:33 PM: Defo a bowler and fielder..
with the ball all i can do it hit it hard and go out, dont know how to stop!
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: joeylough on January 22, 2013, 03:19:23 PM: Am I seriously 1 of 2 joeys/fielders out of the current votes cast? I think I will have to have a long hard look into my game.....
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: 97notout on January 22, 2013, 03:45:18 PM: Keeper who likes to think he can bat a bit
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: johnnyw on January 22, 2013, 03:49:16 PM: Keeper batsman but can also bowl legspin
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: jamielsn15 on January 22, 2013, 03:55:03 PM: Opening bat, thogh not sure how I've managed to keep that façade going...

Can also bowl trundlers. Think Paul Collingwood, only with less pace, without the swing and without the knack of taking wickets (although I did take a hat trick last year)...

Post by: golden duck on January 22, 2013, 03:58:35 PM: I went for Joey/fielder.

I bat about as well as I bowl, in that most of the time it's duff, but occasionally I'll have a good game and score a few runs/get a couple of wickets.

My 2012 stats

10 Matches,
9 Innings, 59 runs (high score of 29!!)
2 overs, 2 wickets for 10 runs (both skied to mid wicket!) Why only 2 overs in 10 matches, because it was the last game and everyone had to bowl and I exhibited absolutely no form in nets/practices, and still don't this year!!
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: farnham_quins_2 on January 22, 2013, 05:29:11 PM: Definitely a batsman, never really got the hang of this bowling lark.

Opening batsman, hoping to continue improving this year, last year was difficult with games getting cancelled every other week (go weather!), but did score a few runs.
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: Byo on January 22, 2013, 05:59:37 PM: All rounder - off spin bowler and middle order strokemaker (some may say slogger!!!) :)

All round faliure :(

Haha. Thats me!

In my younger days I fancied myself as an all rounder.
Had my first go against the bowling machine a couple of weeks ago, set the speed at 60mph and couldn't get my feet moving! Gave up after a bucket and half, I then watched my 11 year old son spank the ball about the same speed.
I didn't know weather to laugh or cry.
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: 03jaworf on January 22, 2013, 06:31:57 PM: All rounder for me, Off spin(ish) darts and middle order bat at no. 3/4/5!
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: SOULMAN1012 on January 22, 2013, 09:58:17 PM: Batsman/wicket keeper myself. Opening bat. Used to bowl some medium pace swing bowling that kissed the surface but have had some ankle problems last couple of years. Do still bowl occassionaly but standard military medium or off spin these days but only in the odd Sunday game if one of the colt keepers is playing
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: safcdeans23 on January 22, 2013, 10:47:18 PM: claimed all rounder.

batted from last to opening and have bowled a few overs when needed (nearly a maiden once if it wasnt for my 2 wides)

but with my batting progressing my current strength would be my fielding. anywhere and everywhere i think im a safe pair of hands. more catches than drops.
Title: Re: Bowler Batsman or Wicketkeeper ?
Post by: tommy on January 23, 2013, 02:39:15 PM: All-rounder

Slow Left Arm and 5/6 Bat
