Title: Forum Best bowling of the Season
Post by: Buzz on August 26, 2010, 08:18:39 AM
Tom has started a best batting, so given that I hardly bowl (but I do run in and try and bowl as fast as I can when I do - 65mph help yourself dross...) I thought I would start the forum best bowling of the season thread.

Full figures for your best match performance please, ie overs - maidens - runs - wickets

I nearly died at the end of it, spending the rest of it fielding backward point and deep mid-wicket made things all the worse!

First time I bowled seam in a game in 3 years, the first over was all extremly short quarter trackers, but I bounced somebody out, caugh top edge. Then got two reverse swining yorkers from my right arm around, got two wickets in 2 balls, leaving me on a hat rick, I bowled and missed the off stump by an inch,as the batsmen just swung like a madman, figues
3 - 0 - 10 - 3

Had a few 5 wicket hauls this year - happier with my economy rate of 2.50. Mickey mouse cricket though, so should have been much better than this

SS's 6 for 7 has set a good standard so far... although Tumo's 19over spell is a huge effort.

Best bowling of my life was earlier this season.

6-0-23-8

Just one of those days where it swung prodigiously and all the catches went to hand.

I suppose you lot all get nicks through to the keeper and stuff! I just get my lovely left arm orthodoxes slogged to deep-midwicket, where half the time they get shelled! 8fer is a ridiculous effort, I was happy with my Michelle! But well played mate, outstanding bowling no doubt!

Some decent balls, some pretty ordinary batting, some very good catching!

I'm a part time bowler, managed 4-1-10-4 and also 12-3-33-4

Missed the elusive 5 wicket hall

there are some really good efforts going on here... it also confirms my views that...

4 wickets in an innings is worth about a 50 - they happen quite frequently, but you have to be pleased. :-[
6 wickets is about the same as a 100, not infrequent, but require a good effort and some good catching - possibly a bit of luck and you should be buying beer/cider. :D
8 wickets matches don't come around all that often, but more often in club cricket than a 200... you will be buying the champagne that night.  8)

well bowled mdl_1979 - currently leading the race.

4 for 30 from 13

This was my first competitive spell for 3 years following a shoulder injury in 2007, and the first time I'd bowled in a league match for my current club - a dropped a pretty hard caught & bowled chance in my last over too - could have been a Michelle!

How about -  15 - 5 - 46 - 4?

It may not seem that special, but 3 of them were stumped - and it was a league game!

They felt very silly indeed
