Having just seen the 2015 prediction thread it made me think about my aims and goals for the 2015 season.
While it is a long way off and these goals will most likely have changed by the end of next year it interests me as to what you guys want/expect of yourselves for the upcoming season...
My personal goals are:
Score my first 100
Take my first 5-for (I've taken god knows how many 4 wicket hauls but never managed to hit the illustrious 5 wicket mark)
I Look forward to hearing your goals/aims for next year
Thanks

Hmmm.
Well after relinquishing my midweek league captaincy role(3league wins in 4 years), the Midweek team had a shocker last year, and I'm back in charge.
So first things first,
Win the midweek league!
After winning no the midweek batting averages 4 times out of the last 5 years. But nothing on a sat. I'll add
Win sat batting averages!
No ton at all last season, and 3 years since my last midweek ton. So
A sat and wed ton atleast.
And after 2 years of injuries, and fitness issues I'm back bowling, so 30 wickets will please me over all formats.
So to sum up.
Win midweek league
Win both batting avgs at club
Score a ton in both formats.
And take 30 wickets.
I reckon 3 of the 4 are achievable.

Good thread. It will be interesting to revisit at the end of the season.
Goal 1.- Not to get run out. I was run out (ran myself out) 7 times last season
Goal 2 - score 500+ league runs and average 50+
Goal 3 - To bowl at least 1 league over
Goal 4 - Not to be responsible for losing a game due to my 1 over
Goal 5 - To win 1 20/20 cup game
-
My targets for next season
Take 40 wickets in all forms over the summer
Score at least one 50 in league cricket
Prove to a few people that I can actually bat, I'm not just a low order slogger
Hold down a spot in one league side, not be up and down like a whores underwear
Get at least 3 post match chops with a randomer in town
Take a 5-fer in the league - only done it in friendlies before (and have been on the honours board for league 4-fers)
-
Targets for next season are
Take 35 wickets
Try and move up the batting order currently 11, vice capt thinks i should be at 7.
Improve my pace and fitness as the clock is ticking.

For our first team its to win our 3rd promotion on the bounce and go from division one to the premier division.
I personally would like to get a job on days as last season I missed games due to having a shift job for the first time.
If I can play all games I'd like a 150! :D
-
I'd like to lose a couple of stone too!
-
First season as player/coach for local club.
Goal 1 taken care of on Saturday. Win 60/50 comp and qualify for National Club champs, Tick. (In the play off for 3rd and 4th Trent Boult played and took 5/25 :o)
Goal 2 Win One day comp after Xmas
Goal 2 Win T20 comp after Xmas.

Our realistic team goals are to achieve promotion for the 2nd XI from Div 3 and top 2 for the firsts in the prem (our league has runaway winners each year in the prem, so everyone else is effectively fighting to 'win' 2nd place).
Personally, I've always found that setting numerical targets often leads to disappointment, as it can become too self-serving and can affect the way you play. It's a cliché, but I'm gong to focus on batting more consistently, work on the aspects of my batting that need improving and being more mentally prepared for each innings. If I do that, my scores - and the teams chances of winning - will improve.
I rarely bowl and wore the gauntlets on occasions last season so in terms of contributions in the field committing to every ball and backing up and encouraging team mates. If I bowl I'll focus on not going for too many maximums!
Fitness-wise, 2014 wasn't an issue after completing the London Marathon and a 100km walk in April and June. I've done a couple of half marathons since, so it will be maintaining a half marathon level of fitness and I've not ruled out running the 100km in June next year. That should keep the excellent club teas from affecting my 2s and 3s...!

Not a personal goal as such but try to attract players of any standard to our village club in the countryside just outside Worcester we have excellent modern facilities a proffessional groundsman low subs but only 7 players for 2015 the commitee has stated if the club does not attract players before the start ofthe 2015 season it will have no option but to fold.

Which club mate? I play for Kempsey when I'm back in Worcs - sorry to hear this!
-
Just to bat, and bat a bit longer and then bat on for a bit longer than that.
To stop this instinct of teeing off from the word go 'cos I'm batting down at 8 and 9, and to stay out there long enough to score some decent runs and persuade the skipper to bat me in the top six.
-
Solidify myself as a batsman worthy on it's own merit if need be, though I'm an all rounder. Make sure I'm consistent and taking early wickets with the new ball, claim a spot in the slips and keep it for the season. If I manage these three, then I'll be a happy cricketer. Oh, and also to make sure I'm enjoy my cricket whilst remaining competitive.

Score more hundreds!

Score more hundreds!
You will never quite score enough for your own liking, it's like being happy with enough gear.. you always want more! ;)
-
I started last season with no goals and had my best season ever with the bat and not a bad season with the ball. So no goals. :D
Al thou I would still love to hit my first ever Ton and take my first ever hatric.
-
As a team we are looking to get promoted and a cup run would be nice. Personally I'm looking to bounce back from a poor 2014 and would like to score 400+ runs and take 15+ wickets.
-
Frist aim is to sort out a team then enjoy it again

Sorry for not replying earlier but have been out all morning
Did you receive my message.?

For myself, it's:
(1) Lose some weight (I say some, I mean quite a bit!)
(2) Push on when batting and stop getting out in the 30's-40's. I'm guilty of making a decent start usually, and then giving it away when I should be set and looking to push on for a reasonable score.
(3) Help our new colt's section have some fun and maybe even see them get a game or two before the season's out.
-
As an opener
Not worry about inroads into our batting
And play more boundary shots.
-
Get at least 3 post match chops with a randomer in town
What's a chop?
-
Main goal is quite simple, enjoy cricket this year!
I'd like to get to a ton but would take a few solid 50's
-
What's a chop?
Before I answer that it's probably best I check how old you are... ;)

Looking to top Saturday league batting averages, min, 1000 runs
Will try and play more for my sons Sunday team
Saturday team, would be looking for league and cup double again, would be nice to be unbeaten
Gotta get a bit stronger and fitter too, bit embarrassing in the field these days
-
First thing first is to try and get through the season after being plagued by niggles early on and then suffering a season ender in June. Currently touch an go as to whether I'll be fit for the start of this season.
Second objective is the same a last years and the year before: Score most runs (at least 1000) and try and get player of the season and players player.
-
During our AGM, we talked about the season and I thought to myself that I could have don't a lot better, got out playing stupid balls, but did get my reach my wickets goal, so I thought this year I would go for 300-30.
Meaning
300 runs
30 wickets..
I felt that if I didn't miss the games I did, and played at the right temperament I could have done it, but this year is the year..
Should be fun...
-
I have more concerns about the club/team than myself!
Not sure where I will be playing yet but here are my goals
If with seconds
* Score 450 runs
* carry my bat at least once
* Achieve 24+ victims
* Win Promotion
If with firsts
* Score 180 + runs
* Achieve 20 + victims
* Avoid relegation!
All realistic, put the practice in and the results will follow!
