Title: Forum Top score for the season!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on August 25, 2010, 02:29:26 PM
With the season all but wrapped up now and rain coming around more often that a Pete Hosk bat review i thought id start a little topic to see who on the forum can claim this seasons "top score"....before we get into it if you feel you could be in with a good shout of winning it we may ask for some evidence to back up your claims in order to win the covetted the Custom Bat Forum Golden Bat award for the year.

Its just for a bit of fun so get your top score listed down for the year  :D

Ill kick us off with my personal top score in my long illustrious cricketing career which was 124* on a sunday league game. This has supass ed my season target of 52 runs which i managed last season in total :( lol

Any hundred in any form of cricket is one to be proud of - Whatever the bowling is like, you still have to get the runs and typically bat between 18 to 35 overs to get there. That takes concentration and effort.

ARP, I open the batting too.

Post by: kenbriooo on August 25, 2010, 03:37:59 PM
Not a winner but 105* batting at number 7! Was also involved in a 170 run stand, totally demoralised the opposition who thought the game was after 20 overs.

I got to 50 just after my partner and I said that I'd race him to 100 (baring in mind neither of us had ever scored 100), a few overs later I hit the returning opening bowler for 25 on one over. My partner didn't get his ton.

Perhaps this could be an entrant for a new comeptition about partnerships?

I did it on one of the hottest days of the year complete with helmet, then had to bowl 10 overs after it, thankfully I had scored a Ron as my bowling was awful.

Must have drank about 10 pints if water the next day n hardly pee'd - think I was a tad dehydrated!!

after averaging a tidy 34 last year with 5 fiftes this year i was looking for a ton to seal my number six spot with atop score of 37 so far this year ( match winning and the hottested day of the year ... cue the chundering ) my battting has slipped but then 54 wickets so :D

Title: Re: Forum Top score for the season!
Post by: Liam-SCCC on August 25, 2010, 07:14:25 PM
my highest is 76, against top of the league. went from hitting one 50 last year to four so far this year with a couple of 40's.

I hit it against top of the league, we fielded first and I opened the bowling and bowled 12 overs. Also dived ontothe ball and got a huge dead leg which kept with me through out.

chasing 260odd to win against a quality bowling attack i decided to just go for it. I did it in 23 scoring shots and hit 14 fours and 2 sixes. I loved that innings!
Title: Re: Forum Top score for the season!
Post by: charlie_bendall on August 25, 2010, 07:29:22 PM
My highest this season is 90* to go with my 82*,71*, 68* and 6 other scores of 50+ with 3 of them being not out also.

We were 199-0... definitely a day to be an opening batsman (all 4 openers made 50, two made 100's).  We (including me) dropped a fair few catches. There was also some classic panic.

if were going in to strike rate here i might aswell butt out - slow and steady wins the race :) striking at 80 is probably standard for me, never been able to smash it like some ive seen!

Due to school and work, I only got to play two matches. Got 7 off 5 in first match opening and then got a third ball duck to the worst lbw ever against a spinner who took 6-18 off 6.
Bowled 3 overs of leggies for 9 runs

I went at around 120-130.
Of course my average is less than 20 :D

My strike rate is probably about 60-70, had a few cheeky swipes with the willow, but have unfortunately had to play some boring rear-guards - 17 runs off 74 balls going in at 15-5 being a case in point...
