haha what a coincidence! Must have been gutted not to reach the 50 - how did you get out?!

caught at mid-on and caught behind. the first one, everyone is sure the scorers made a mess - seemed more like 60 something.

the second one didn't feel anything like - thought I might have scraped into the 30's. Unfortunately the scorers weren't updating the batmen's score on the scoreboard so had no idea until I got back in.

A solid 3. Played against a team that were all older than us and were alltogether better than us. I got a half volley and hit it straight back to the bowler it was going to take the umpires head off but he just managed to stick his hand out and catch it. Even he said he wouldn't be able to do it agin.

Post by: BlarneyArmy on June 09, 2008, 04:53:27 PM
21* off about 15 balls batting at the end of the innings!
Hit 17 off the last over.
As a team we hit 165 off 30 overs, and our opponents hit 158 off 30, so it turned out to be a match winning innings  ;D

Title: Re: 2008 Batting
Post by: Sameer on June 10, 2008, 11:01:35 AM
I opened bowling, got 4 overs in, 1 doublewicket-maiden, 9 runs leaked and 2 wickets!  8) felt good! i was on a hatrick too but failed to get it.  :P

I opened  :o and got 9 runs. i hit a six which i pulled.. then out next ball by edging a wide full length ball onto my damn wickets!!
I was batting for about 8 overs, so dealt with the new ball well, and supported the other opener too for his 26 odd.

ps. we won the game by about 50 runs

I would say it was 75% Norb's cracking piece of willow and 23% my unique technique and 2% the macaroon I had at tea.

The macaroon deserve's more credit especially if it was a coconut macaroon with a cherry on top

The gloves are awesome! Really comfortable - the soft fill feels nicer then my SS Super Test and the palms feel softer too - they have been promoted to my no.1 pair. The thigh pads give great protection, though I'm having trouble with the front one staying in place - might make a few modifications to it to make it fit better.

Title: Re: 2008 Batting
Post by: stevie on June 22, 2008, 05:42:38 PM
9 against some pretty quick bowler's i think i got one ball pitched up my whole innings. Played two cracking pulls though one all along the ground and the other i really got hold off and dropped just inside the boundary. I middled another pull and the squarwe leg dived and just managed to catch it one handed right down low. It was an unbelievable catch even he said after the game he wouldn't back himself to do it again.

Title: Re: 2008 Batting
Post by: MD14 on June 28, 2008, 09:42:56 PM
Notched up a top score of 80 from 99 balls today. It was a huge pitch so I only hit 6 fours but at least 10 3s. Ended up getting caught at deep mid-off which led to a collapse, from which we recovered to scrape home by one wicket

Not really, there are just a few better batsmen and keepers around than me (bearing in mind that I'm an U16 trying to get into the U17 side. In fact, the keeper of the County U17 team hit a ton in their last game!

Grr i got 1 today... we needed 14 off last over. I went for a risky two and got "run out" whilst doing a full length dive! I was given out even though the bowler broke the stumps with his hand before he had the ball!
To add insult to injury it was my own team that gave me out!!!
Title: Re: 2008 Batting
Post by: stevie on August 03, 2008, 02:23:24 PM
28 not out today, my highest score. we were chasing 117 to win in a 20 over game and the game got called off with us needing 50 odd off 6 overs. I was going to get retired anyway so wasn't to dissapointed wouldv'e been nice to see the end of the game though.
MD you should get in next year though with the season your having.

dissapointing end to the season. Last two games were dampners. One was washed out and in the other we bowled out the opposition for 98.

Had 480 runs from 17 games/ 13 innings. Was looking at another 100-130 runs in the last two games.
