Hey guys,
played U17 Taverners on the weekend and I kept for 67 overs. We made on the first day 1 for 234 and resumed on and went on to make 5 for 280 declared. lost 4 going the tonk
We then went and bowled, the pitch was as dry as you will ever see, it was cracking like you would not believe! There was cracks that were 3 cm wide and about 10 cm deep! Our opening bowler who bowls around 125 bowled a ball in the 3rd over to a lefty that pitched 20 cm outside leg, i went down the legside only to see the ball hit something and jag back past the lefts offstump, i stopped and dived full lengh back on the offside to miss it by abour 30 cm. Luckily 1st slip had bent over and he caught it ankle height!!!!!!!! it was crazy! the batsman stood there and look bemused. We were cacking ourselvers!
Our tall lefty bowled from the other end to the other lefty. The first ball of his first over (ie the second over) hit the thigh pad down the legside then caught the bottom of his glove and went downwards. I had to movre across and then dive fulllengh forwardd to take the catch. We all went up but hte umpire just stood there. Once we had stopped appealing he walked over to square leg and had a quick chat with the other ump and raised his finger! great decision
got anther catch off louis, a boucer that was a top edge and had to run backwards and catch it looking at fine leg.
Only let through 2 byes both legside standing up on a shocking deck, really happy! We took 7 wickets as one guy who was so overweight he had man boobs got abotu 10 off 20.................................. OVERS!! lol
Both umpires were brilliant, some of the best we have ever had and i would like to congrats both of them
-
Cracks 3cm wide and 10cm deep? Bloody hell...
I'm surprised they let you play.
-
they were halfway down and the rest were scattered all over the square, god help the short in fielders. Therie goes their ankles!
-
Ahaha love it how you always explain it to make it never your fault...
-
What ground was this match palyed on?
-
No mate what I was doing was telling you the facts, I think that 2 byes on that sort of deck is more than acceptable, don’t you?
Oh wait you are brilliant so of course not
The trever barnsby oval
-
Well I guess you mean Trevor Barsby so you either play for Sunshine Coast or Valleys.
Hmmm I have Taverners for the next two Sundays, you are lucky I haven't got either of those teams.
-
Its not just this topic, other topics about your so called awesome keeping that if its a bye, its got to have been the worlds freakiest ball out
-
Yes it was which one were you umpiring? We were on the centre field, i was keeping second week, i had the green and silver pumas if you saw? Did you do the uni v someone or were you on the main field?
Why am i lucky you have not got us "the sunshine coast"? Who are you umping this sunday?
Eunit, how many byes have you let through mate, 2 byes so far this season in 200 overs of keeping is pretty good hey'?
-
Noz why are you so bothered about byes. Keep it under 5-6 a game no-one complains. Drop a catch and let through no byes, more people will be bothered?
Worry about taking all the half chances, instead of letting through minimal byes and forgetting about your main job!
-
Because even letting through one bye really pisses me off. I only let though about 8 or so the whole last season in 3rd grade.
Dont worry i take all the chances, letting though byes is screiwing with my main job of catching the ball!
-
You take all the chances? COCKY MUCH ?
-
Even if he did miss one i doubt he would tell us.
-
I thought that the job of the keeper was to take all the catches? Please tell me if i am wrong?
-
keeper14 he has admited in other posts when hes dropped one or two so...
-
i know but i was talking to e uit
-
I wonder why art has not responded? i praised the umpires.
Where did you umpire?
-
The way you said it came across to me as, any chance that comes down your going to catch it... not any chance that comes down im always going to try and take the catch..
-
oh sorry, i meant that i do my best to catch it not i never make any mistakes (which i do)
I was just saying how my team did on the weekend in tavs!
-
I no, just sometimes try and think before you post, as sometimes you can sound very very arrogant.
-
yep i am sorry!
-
Great first day for Taverners at the Gold Coast yesterday. The game was played in great spirit by both teams. Sam Truloff made another big hundred before running himself out. The Coast were somewhat overpowered by Truloff and the West's batting line up. Will be interesting to see how things go next Sunday.
A great game to be part of the umpiring team.
-
hga ha could not play as i have broken my toe!
-
Convenient as art was umping.
-
no i was not playing in his match. I play for the sunny coast
-
Few blokes i know in the GC tavs team. The keeper for GC is in the under 14 state carnval team. So hes playing up quite a few grades and doing pretty well.
