May it be bowling, batting, a blinder of a catch, anything !!
I'll start with mine, scoring 104 on a bowling pitch, and nearly leading the team to victory.
-
Scoring 187 not out to beat the previous club record of 165.
Had only been at the club since the start of the season.

Yohh, well done mate !

cheers bud

one and only 50 even though we lost and my bowling figures were an abomination, i managed to top score and carry my bat:

And my playing for my schools 1XI i was given a rare opportunity to bowl and too 7-3-9-5 the week later we played the local village in a friendly although it was rain affected i proved to the coach that i should have batted where i felt i should have (top 3) not at 10/11 by hitting 20 odd on a mud bath and rugby pitch for an out field
-
Being greedy I have a few that I can't decide between, none of which are amazing but are good for me.
5 wickets and 5 catches on my uni debut, opening the bowling with my dad years ago in a 2nd XI game, scoring my first 50 in my first game back after 10 years of not playing or last one is a 90 run partnership with my brother with my parents watching us.
-
A couple come to mind that go close - captaining my team to a premiership in about under 16s and also making the seniors second XI at 15, but it'd probably be my first five-for in senior cricket. I was also really proud of a teammate who scored his first hundred in the season just gone; mainly because he's a mate but also because he and I (and a couple of others) did a lot of net work in the offseason and it was unbelievable to see it pay off for him.
-
Three for me if I may.
First was scoring my first ton in a T20 over game chasing down 154 to win in 19.3 overs. It was especially sweet as the opposition had sledged us mercilessness when they batted! And then shown us no respect when they bowled by smoking in the field and bringing on various drinks etc.
2nd was watching my son score his first hindered. I was out injured with a broken finger and scored his whole innings = very proud Dad.
Finally last season scoring my 10,000 run for my midweek / Sunday friendly team - my Dad who started my love of the game and is still my hero at 76 was there to watch it happen and i must admit some dust or grit found it's way into my eye.
Great memories & good thread.

Well after being naff over the last couple of years with will have to be yesterdays game.
After failing to set a score over the last few games, we was chasing 204. I came in at 3 with 10overs gone and about 80 on the board, I played the supporting role to the openers 109, of which I then stuck out with the next couple of batsmen, hitting the remaining runs with a 6, 1, 4, 4 to finish off the win in good style. The only issue being what I ended up on. Some people believe i was left on 49* being 1 run off my first 50, some believe 43*. Being someone who doesn't count as they go on, I would think it was the latter 43* and supporting the opener on a well deserved ton.

Getting to the National Village Cup final and seeing my brother and my name on the scoreboard at Lords.
-
Think mine would probably be taking the final wicket in our annual game against a touring side to win the match and complete my 1st Michelle.
Do have fond memories of playing in our 4th XI back in 2007, me and my best mate walked off together after we put on an unbeaten 25 for the last wicket to get maximum batting points and win the game, the whole team gave us a standing ovation for it. We were 2 very happy 13 year olds after that haha
-
Tricky one - won 5 League/Division trophies with various teams and a few cup comps, all proud moments. Individually, taking 8-12 and winning the Crawley Observer Bowling Award in 2000 or scoring 1000 runs in a season in 1996. Though skippering a t20 final win when you are 24-7 off 8 overs was an achievement:-

mine is a game i was playing for cheshire last year vs nottingham
we were playing at my now home pitch(hawk green cc) and the track wasn't great, we got put into bat first and within the first 10 or so overs their opening bowler (quickest and best bowler ive faced to date and i play 4 games a week at all levels inc senior) had ripped through our top order, i had been put down to 6 but was in after a few overs at 30 odd for 4. Me and one of my best mates who also plays at hawk green (number 4 in the order) had a partnership of 150 odd and me hitting 72 of 70 balls and him getting 77 i think of around 90 balls and we went on to thrash probably the best county at our age, great day.
-
Opening the bowling at Lord's and taking a couple of wickets. Who cares what we scored, whether we won or what the figures were!
-
Come on to bowl with the opposition scoring an easy 60 odd in the first few overs, end up taking 6 for 8 off 5 overs. Virtually unplayable then took a catch in the covers. Finally opened the batting and scored 27 before holing out in the deep. Although we lost the run chase I top scored, took the most catches and took the most wickets!
-
Playing a game where it was absolutely chucking it down, batting in the 2nd innings we lost a few early wickets. Rather than come off for rain the opponents wanted to get us all out for more points, and we were trying to push for more batting points. Hit 40no and we won.
Not my highest score, but first match winning knock for my team from me.
-
I have 3 that stand out for me
Scoring my first run in adult cricket, a flick of the pad for 4 with my uncle who got me into cricket at the other end. I hardly play for that club anymore but I have 44 50's and 8 tons and 8500 runs for them which puts me 2nd on there all time list behind my uncle and they have been going for almost 100 yrs.
My first hundred when I was 17 against Dartford C.C , 108 on a lovely day on a rock hard slightly green track.
Playing for Kent combined league side against Surrey combined league side and scoring 93* and keeping very very well.
-
Following yesterday I would say it has
To be my first 50!

Proudest moment for me would have to be my bowling figures of 5-15 (5 overs). I bowled some of my best in that game, swinging inwards and outwards with a few variations.
Batting wise, my best/proudest moment would be getting my first 100 (I eventually got out at 114 off 190 deliveries.)
-
Proudest moment - Hat-trick on senior debut aged 10. I bet I'll never do it again!
-
Going into bat at no6 with 13.2 overs to go and the score on 176 for 4.
We finished on 292 for 6/7 off 40 overs and I scored 85 no from 42 balls.
Even sweeter that we went on to win. That was the last season that I played (16 years ago).
On par though, Id say watching my son score his first half ton, opening the batting for our under 13's and scoring 55 not out out of a score of 96.
(55 happened to be the same score that I scored when I got my first half ton, although I was out!)
-
It has to be my getting in the full Army and the Under 25's squad as a young pup. I didn't keep the stash so sadly have a few holes in my wardrobe. I didn't play, but as a squad member you feel part of the team.
Second is my Army Cup Major Unit's winners medal. We where huge underdogs and beat all comers that year. I've got the score card and report in 'Soldier' Magazine hanging in my loo.
Thirdly, my first season at Hampstead CC I finished third in the entire club averages, scoring 40% of my teams runs. I was beaten by Paul Weekes and the overseas Pro. No disgrace there. I did beat all the other 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and other Sunday team players.
-
first ton at 15, batting first on a tough wicket, ended up being a reduced overs match got 105*
my debut in senior cricket got 3 wickets and bowled a barbados pro through the gate bowling my offies
lastly got to be opening the batting against the MCC for my school 1st XI and making 40 odd
-
My five-for first time I bowled for the 1st XI aged 14 or my innings Sunday
-
Playing for my club in a cup final at the County Ground, Taunton twice. Despite being underdogs on both occasions we won both finals and were watched by over 100 of our own supporters on each occasion

Where did you used to play mate? I was at Dartford up until this season, playing at Cobham CC now.

For me it has to my be playing with my old club and going through seven divisions and the last 3 promotions on the bounce including 1 loss in 2 seasons in Division 3 and Division 2 to get into the top league of our evening league locally with a team that started "as something to do in the summer" and then ruffled quite a few established feathers.
Sadly now the club is no longer but some great memories!
