After reading kit lists and seeing PB's in some people sigs, I was just wondering to what standard do people play at on here. I get the distinct impression everyone plays substantially better cricket than I do?
I currently play in the Cambs Cricket Assoc Jnr 1, but have played to Snr 1 standard with my previous team which sadly folded after a 60 consecutive year presence in the CCA leagues! (In my area there is the East Anglian prem, Tucker Leagues 1/2, Snr 1,2,3, Jnr 1,2,3,4,5)
Be interested to know where people ply their trade?

South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League - Division 1

I think it is hard to judge on standards as all leagues will vary in quality.
I play for Chobham 1's in the Surrey Fullers 2nd Division.

Who do you play for? I play for St Ives and played a few 2nd team games in Junior 1 (i think) last season.
-
I play for Cambourne, universally hated due to a few choice trappy numpties, not really my 1st choice but I live there so its convinient, I minced between 1s and 2s last year but don't think I played St Ives, I did play St Ives when I played at Stapleford, funnily enough we had a pony team out that day many years ago and go stuffed, lovely ground though!!
-
Yorkshire and Derbyshire league div 1.
I've also been selected for there league representative side for 3 of the last 4 games.

South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League - Division 1
Seeing as you was at our level in the ydcl, before moving, what do you rate the syscl divisions like in comparison?
Be interesting to meet in the midweek league next year too. See if you've moved up a level in play.
-
Have played at WEPL prem 2 level (very briefly), and have steadily dropped down the leagues as the hunger is diminishing slightly and I can't be bothered with the travelling. Still playing what I believe to be a fairly useful standard, with some very good players, if not full teams, in Somerset Shrubbery 1 for Ilton! Not sure how much longer I will be playing though as I'm enjoying time with the other half, and being outdoors walking and riding more fun.
-
Played everywhere from the Worcs Div 7 as a youth up to Birmingham League Div 1, Will be playing this Summer down in Essex in the Two Counties League, Div 1/5 (Depending on the amount I play whether it'll be 1s/2s)
-
Glamorgan & Monmouthshire Cricket League Division 2 - 2nd XI. Looking to force my way into next years 1st XI with this years performances with a bit of luck.

west somerset league division 1 for timberscombe. i like to think of it as proper village cricket :)

We are in the north league and you are in the south so are not technically in the same league. If you fancy a change of scenery, we cater for all abilities and we are only 15 minutes up the road.

the Jnr leagues are like that in Cambs, I once played in a cow field with an electric fence to keep out the cows, i think someone had got on their ride on mower to cut out the pitch/outfield!!
@Wayward, I maybe tempted depending on whether the club pulls its fingers out of its you know what, so will see how things are at the end of the year, I've looked at Histon, Hardwick and Milton all of which have decent clubs.

I have played a variety of both Norfolk Alliance and some Cambs Tucker 1 stuff.

I have played in Tucker 1 for a while Dunc.
We are back in Tucker 2 this year after forming a new club and starting again as it were.
The East Anglian Prem is a very good standard by all reports. If we were to ever win Tucker 1 and by some miracle negotiate the playoffs i would almost certainly get myself a nice comfortable gig in the 2's as i know i would be little more than a bit part player at that level.
I've played against Cambourne, can't say i remember any helmets to be honest. I'll be calling by to drop off your goodies at your workplace in Somersham tomorrow on my way to Hunts mate. :)

Our league doesn't really require helmets apart from the odd (read regular) unintended beamer, if someone bowls short and it gets near head height its more to do with worms than ability or track!!
(if you park in the customer car park and go to the goods in entrance which is in the main carpark and ask for me, I'll come and meet you!!)

Be interesting to meet in the midweek league next year too. See if you've moved up a level in play.
Division 2 was just a league full of teams from like the top of Division 1 in the YDCL, basically like playing yourself/Holmesfield/Parkhead etc every week so very, very competetive and managed to win it last year with the addition of a couple of very good players.
Division 1 will be a massive step up with every team fielding a pro or overseas player.
We found in division 2 that the batting was very simlar to YDCL (top teams) but the bowling to be much, much better. You just don't get any bad balls to put away like you do in the YDCL.
Midweek is a bit funny really, last year it was mostly made up of 2nd teamers so doesn't really give a reflection of our Saturday team. Probably only 3-4 maybe 5 1st teamers play.

Not quite the type of helmet i was referring to ;) - you said you were hated but i don't call any aggro when i played.
No problem mate.

LMFAO, talk about wrong end of stick!! You must've had a good day then, who were you playing for at the time? I don't have much time for 75% of the 1st team to be honest, alot of 'we're not as good as we think' attitude going on!!

It's be cool to play weekly competitive cricket. I've found in the ydcl, that if you play hundall and cents. You tend to drop your standard, so you then come across holmesfielld(who previously played parkhead and unistaff) you struggle as there at there best, and your not,
But then later on in the seasons, it happens the opposite way.
Be much better playing high quality cricket every week,
Midweek A division is similar to ydcl league 1. The prem is a step up and a half! We struggled and had 11 1st teamers most week in the prem. was an eye opener.
-
Fullers Surrey Championship - 3X1 league - we are entering our 4XI this year.
I don't think there can physically be a lower level!

Yeah, I recon we may struggle in Midweek A next year with the team we are able to turn out.

I play for Cowley in the OCA (oxford).
last year I made the numbers up in the 1st (when they were short), that was in div 2. As well as playing a few games for the seconds in Div. 8. only batted 7 time all year!!!! :(

Was a few years back, would have been for march or doddington. Couldn't tell you in what competition.
There is a lot of that in local cricket mate, it is the case at most clubs.

Bruce, Chertsey dropped to the fullers for the 3XI?

I really miss playing for Stapleford, was a total delight playing there, some genuine ability and played there for 13 years since I was 16. Can only think of one guy who had that I think I'm better than I am, but then he was an estate agent ;)!!
-
South Northants League, mostly for the seconds in Div 3 (Div 4 this year), but have played and opened for the firsts in the Prem - without a great deal of success!
I'm torn between wanting to do well and getting selected for the firsts on merit, or enjoying opening and keeping in the 2nds. Usually a couple of decent innings gets you called up to the firsts, which is great, but I tend to find I lose rhythm and form as a batsman with the chopping and changing. Plus I'm 38, so hardly likely to be attempting to climb the performance ladder!
Great club though - great lads, great banter and (Jake) great teas!

Do you play at the old rover sports ground (next to mini) ground mate?
-
Played in the Home Counties Prem, Surrey Championship, Southern Electric Premier and West of England Prem (All in 10 years!).
Now back in TVCL (where I started) - absolutely love it! Home is where the heart is and cricket is so much enjoyable when it is somewhere you want to be. Not always about the level.
-
I think it is hard to judge on standards as all leagues will vary in quality.
I play for Chobham 1's in the Surrey Fullers 2nd Division.
RoCo I think two of my mates from SA play for the same club might be in the 2nds or 3rds.
I have played for Portchester 1s in Hampshire county division 1 and the 2nds in regional 2. This season I guess it will be in the 2nds as we have a couple good youngsters coming through. But you never know.
-
Played at my (short lived) peak in TVL Western Feeder/TVL Div1. Had the novelty of playing as a specialist batsman one season and a specialist bowler the next! Good 15 years ago now. For the most part been slumming it in Marlow 2s in TVL 3/4, Sussex Invitation 2nd XI Div1, Wetherby 2-6 in various guises and now Cotswold Hills League Div3.

We should call you 'Martini'....
Who did you play for in the Middlesex league? I was at Hampstead for a few seasons.
-
Following from procricket.
Middlesex league, mainly the 3's and Sunday 1sts. Getting on a bit and didn't like all the cut throat attitude of a lot of the teams.
Now, The Honorable Artillery Company, HAC, in the City. We play a varied level from jazz teams through to a gun MCC and Royal Artillery side. It's a privilege playing there.
Getting on a bit, 43 this year and creaking so keep it light but competitive.
-
played for seconds in the derbyshire and cheshire leauge for hawk green last season, looking for playing for hyde seconds this year though in the cheshire county leauge prem as i play for their juniors. Also play for Cheshire county for my age and tameside district for the year above

Play for Kilve 1st XI in Div 2 of the Shrubbery Somerset League. We've been promoted 4 years on the trot, winning the league twice out those, so we're looking forward to seeing what this year brings :-)
Kilve used to have a great side back in the mid 90's so it good to see you climbing back up the divisions. I remember playing against Dave Cobb and Neil Cobbon and they always had a good overseas player. Ryan Fury was one. Can be a bit bleak down there on a bad day but lovely on a sunny day. Do you know I can remember being there in 1979 (watching my Dad) and they had the Arsenal Man U cup final on in the pavilion on a little black and white TV.
Say hello to Dave next time you see him if he is still involved with the Club. An absolute Legend of the old Somerset league.

Thanks Kieron. I will pass on your wishes to Dave, he came to watch quite a few games last year and if his knee's weren't so knackered from bowling 23 overs a week and batting 3 I'm sure he'd still be playing and scoring runs for fun. Played with him a bit and you can tell he's different gravy - so much time to play shots and the most accurate bowler I've seen.
We've had a few good overseas. Do you remember Ian Wheatley?
You're right about the weather, on a good day it's stunning, but on a cold/overcast it can be a bit chilly ;-)

After reading kit lists and seeing PB's in some people sigs, I was just wondering to what standard do people play at on here. I get the distinct impression everyone plays substantially better cricket than I do?
I currently play in the Cambs Cricket Assoc Jnr 1, but have played to Snr 1 standard with my previous team which sadly folded after a 60 consecutive year presence in the CCA leagues! (In my area there is the East Anglian prem, Tucker Leagues 1/2, Snr 1,2,3, Jnr 1,2,3,4,5)
Be interested to know where people ply their trade?
I'd say I probably play at a similar standard to you. I play Norfolk Cricket League div 1 and in Norfolk it goes EAPL followed by the Norfolk Cricket Alliance which has a premier division and then 6 further divisions and then the Norfolk Cricket league with a another 8 divisions. Although we(along with most of the teams in NCL div 1) are probably strong enough to play NCA 4/5 level but we lack the facilities to enter the NCA.
-
Played for Bronze CC pretty much my whole cricketing life in the WARCL (Warwickshire Cricket League) playing in the first team the last 5/6 seasons or so but while I was at Uni I played for Cheltenham for a couple is seasons in the WEPL in the 2's. I probably could push myself and play at a higher standard but would find it quite difficult to leave Bronze as I've been going down there ever since I was born.
-
Sunday afternoon friendlies for me at a medium weak level. Can't be bothered with league nonsense.

Yes James that was the other guy I was trying to remember. Ian was a great player. He left Kilve and went to play for Taunton when the wepl started. So good to see clubs fighting back up through the leagues.
Dave was just a run machine. He must be up there as the highest run scorer ever in the Somerset league. Great bloke as well. And yes he bowled 23 overs from one end for 20 years !!!
-
Used to play Kent Premier League but now I live in Worcestershire I play Birmingham League Division 2
-
We've just joined the Yorkshire and Derbyshire league, division 3 - same league as Smiley but a couple of divisions lower. I think it'll be ok but not a great standard as I've played against some of the teams in midweek leagues so have a rough idea what to expect. To be honest thats fine with me as I'm a bit rubbish these days.
Used to be quite a lot better when I was younger (but looking back not as good as I thought I was), I played for Darwen in the Northern League from age 10 to 20. Played one first team game and didn't disgrace myself but mainly 2nd XI and league U18/Lancs League U15. I reckon I'd have been a fringe to decentish premier league player if I'd kept going and not given up cricket for 10 years. Someone on here commented that they didn't want to leave their club as they'd played there for a long time, to me thats one of the biggest differences now (aside from the lower standard) - I used to love playing for my home town team and even though I always try my best games these days don't mean quite as much so I mainly play for fun these days rather than being too competitive.
-
Bruce, Chertsey dropped to the fullers for the 3XI?
Noooooooo. We've got our 4th XI into the Fullers 3XI league this year, to give the kids more meaningful cricket. I believe we are playing your 3's.
The 3XI are still in the Surrey Champ.
-
I play for Horton Kirby in the championship of the kent league so fairly decent level next step up is kent league proper which is by and large a very good standard.
-
Used to play Kent Premier League but now I live in Worcestershire I play Birmingham League Division 2
Who do you play for pal ?. I am just a struggling 2nd team/3rd team/ 4th team opening batsman and part time off spinner in a Worcestershire first division, sixth division and ninth division respectively team. I don't find much difference in gathering runs because of the fact that at lower divisions the poor quality of pitches and the occasional brilliant catching or a young one coming through really make up for the absence of quality bowling.

Another Middlsex leaguer here (ex anyway, now residing in sunny Sydney), captained the 3's in the merit but made the odd apearrance for our 2's (Kensignton ?& Chelsea) - cut throat is an understatment! Someone called it the mMiddlesex Cheationship on here a couple of years back and it's a very accurate descriptive.

Pleased you agree.
There where a couple of teams who would literally swarm around an umpire when the ball went near the pad or edge.
It can get very boring, hence my move to the HAC.
-
Play in the West of England Premier League - Bristol & North Somerset division. Its a pretty good standard with some decent grounds - gonna be my final season I think as age is catching up on me (44 this season)....
-
Noooooooo. We've got our 4th XI into the Fullers 3XI league this year, to give the kids more meaningful cricket. I believe we are playing your 3's.
The 3XI are still in the Surrey Champ.
When you play our 3's you'll play a couple of seniors and the rest 14/15 year olds. Should be a good match for both sides.
-
Ryman Surrey Championship 4th XI East divison. Skipper the Old Rutlishian's 4s. Have played for the 3's on occasion (when 4s games get called off!)
-
When you play our 3's you'll play a couple of seniors and the rest 14/15 year olds. Should be a good match for both sides.
Where do your 3's play?
-
Play in Two Counties Division 1. Pretty good standard and some good players and nice grounds. Can’t wait to get started again!
-
Where do your 3's play?
Normally a rec ground called Waterers park. They played one game at our main ground last year when there was a free weekend. However all their games are at Waterers park this year.
Waterers Park, Barley Mow Lane, Knaphill
-
Played 20 years in the Surrey Championship anything from the old 1st Division (approx 18 teams in the league - 1st through to 3rd Division) to 3rd Division (new set up with 10 teams in each league - Prem to Div 5) . Past three years in the Sussex County League Division 3 (10 teams per league). All at 1XI.
Div 3 Sussex is comparable to the Div 3 of the Surrey Championship but without so many journeymen / ex-pros playing. Haven't played any higher up in Sussex as I am old and past it so can't comment on standard in the higher leagues.
The Sussex County setup is changing this year to 4 divisions of ten (County wide). Previous to this it was Prem / Div 2 (2 up, 2 down) and 3rd division split East / West (1 up and 1 relegated to the invitational leagues from each division). Looking forward to the new set up as its 2 up and 2 down from each so there's something to play for chasing 2nd or fighting 9th place. Not looking forward to travelling though as Sussex is massive, and our longest journey is over an hour to get to the ground and is a 12pm start ! We're in the middle of the county, so god knows if your travelling from one end to the other how long journies are going to be. I think the family man may be requesting 'home only' please !!!!!

Old Elizabethans mate what about yourself?
Same here, Ex-OE's (left at the end of 2011), played for Kempsey since (great bunch of lads - will have a suprisingly strong team this year) and now playing for Witham in Essex
-
Played weekly Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening cricket from the mid 80's till 2006.
Then 40 some thing year old mid life crisis / change to a highly stressed job meant I wanted to test my cricketing ability at a higher level. So I played 3 seasons with Bishops Waltham 1's and 2's in the Hampshire leagues. Excellent times and managed to score runs, take wickets, catches and score a league hundred but 90 overs on a Saturday and 80 overs on a Sunday left me in rags until Tuesday.
Now 50 so body permitting just 20 odd games of very socialble cricket in 2014 :)
-
My aim is to break into the Havant CC 2nd XI who play in southern electric premier league div 2.
The last two seasons i was playing County league 1 in sussex
-
Bristol and District senior division on Saturdays and Malmesbury Village League division 1 on Sundays, of which I'm captain this year. Bugger.
-
My CV probably makes me look a better player than I am. Grew up in Lincolnshire playing for Cleethorpes. 1st XI play Yorkshire Premier League, and a played a significant amount of 1st team cricket whilst I was there, but to be honest was never quite good enough (though my 2nd XI record was certainly good enough to justify the promotion)
Moved to Lancashire aged 19 and played 8 seasons with Preston, who play in the Northern League. Same story really - played lots of 1st XI cricket in the Northern Prem but was never quite good enough despite a very good 2nd XI record.
Played my last 3 years for Fulwood & Broughton in the Palace Shield. I was definitely good enough to play 1st XI there, though after a good first year I got dropped to the 2's by the end of my second year after a shocking run of form, and by the end of 2012 I was playing 3rd team after a horrid season.
Haven't played since then, instead playing baseball for Bolton in the AA North league
-
Baseball!!!
Always fancied a go at that
I was shi# hot at rounders at school!ha
Didn't realise there were leagues about in this country?

Play West Scotland Premiership... 1st XI...
Feeder league to the Scottish Championship..
-
Who do you play for?
Baldock yourself ?
-
I play for kempton 2's in the surrey champ div 5.
Have dropped down from the 1's to captain the 2's and make way for an overseas. I'm sticking to that story in my head, not because I couldn't score a run all season.

Ha! I play for Chertsey - just around the corner from you. Are you based in the Sunbury area?
-
The clubs opposite kempton park racecourse. Nice private ground and a decent deck to bat on.
Chertsey's a nice ground, bit of a spinners paradise
-
I know it - played there many times.
Your 3rd team ground is a bit of a lark!
-
Yeah, it's a bit of a joke really. I think I've played twice on it ever and never enjoyed it. It's a football pitch all winter so the groundsman does a great job just to get a pitch out but anything can happen when the ball pitches.
3's are a good bunch, they could easily moan about having to play on it while we're all on the main pitch but never say a word, unless they got out to a grubber

Hunts div 5, started playing after 17 years out middle of last season, think league got voted worst in England not that long ago which suits me :D lots of re jigging gone on in hunts league this year, we came second last year but didn't want to play Saturdays, we had 7 teams last year and I think 2nd bottom went up to play Saturday, think we have about 10-12 teams this year as a few higher league teams wanted to stay Sunday and dropped down so could be a hard old year. Team has gained over 6 real cricketers in last year though so we are going in right direction.

North East Premier League, pretty good league however there is a few teams that dominate the league such as South North, Chester-Le-Street etc when they're having a good day!
-
West of England Premier League- Premier 2. Just about avoided relegation last season, so looking to have a good year this season!

Hopefully Ellis can take a few more wickets this year for Minehead, and you guys can win a few more.
Good luck for the season and I hope to come down and watch a few

Have played at various standards around the place, due to moving heaps for work. Play country cricket in Queensland at the moment, crap standard which doesn't help your game any. You would think you should dominate but its actually harder - no pace on the ball when batting and blokes not good enough to get an edge. Go and play A grade which is a 3 hour one way drive to keep the skills up a bit. Have also played A grade on the sunshine coast, Queensland as a junior, various levels of rep cricket right up to Queensland development squads. Did a stint in the UK firstly playing village cricket in Kent but moved on to play in the Kent Premier League. Would love to come back over to play but not sure it will happen :( getting old!

Definitely! Ellis is a good lad and turning into a top bowler! We'll do our best

Does anyone play for/against Newtown Linford 1stXI? A young guy who went to school with my son here in Aus is playing for them and I wondered how the standard was and how he has been performing over there. He was in the Targeted sports program for cricket with my son and seemed quite talented.
His name is Ben Sunshine
