Mine last season  was us getting all out for 64(me 6*). We some how  managed to get them out for 60 our captain got 7-11 i took a brilliant one handed diving catch at silly point but the best one was oppo batsmen defending a bouncer an my brother running forward from short midwicket diving an catching  the ball at the batsmen's  feet. Look on his face was priceless

New Calypsonians, North London team really. The guy's name was Bumpy I think.

That's them! Haha, must be a common line then...

We brought on our (At the time 16 year old but looks younger) spinner, the batsman blocks the first ball and at the other end his mate goes "Why you making dis little kid look good mon? 'it 'im outta de park".... brilliant.

Who do you play for Tango?

Another one springs to mind.  Played a team from Cheltenham who were pretty dire...we had them 8 for 6 wickets down after about 12 overs.  It then pissed down.  Went back on the field and the bowler forgot to put his spikes back on, and bowled a 14 ball over...

All out for 85 thanks to a lower order slogger.  We had a top order wobble and I came in at 5.  Saw us home, needed 3 to win and I wanted to end it with a boundary, so I smacked one feet away from the bowler's head for 4.   First time (out of 2 in total) I hit the winning runs Finished on 29*  Great memories

I saw this thread a week ago and it's taken this amount of time to actually think of something but even now I am scraping the barrel a bit !!!

First up, 2012 and we were supposed to be playing in a T20 round robin of a cup competition but the heavens had opened the day before and a large lake now occupied half the cricket field. However the square was dry enough so progression to the next round was decided by a bowl out. I was only in the side because a number of 1st XI players weren't available but unbeknown to me, the skipper had designated me to be 1 of the 5 bowlers and worst still, I was to bowl the first 2 deliveries of the bowl out. I am not someone who usually thrives under pressure but I actually hit the stumps with my first ball. I missed with my second delivery but we won the bowl out and went through to the next round. Small things please small minds but I felt right chuffed with myself after that.

Going back about 5 years, I took a Sunday friendly side over to Idle, West Yorkshire (famous for the Idle Working Men's Club). Sunday friendly matches are never too serious so through some interesting bowling changes, we found ourselves chasing around 150 and were cruising but then lost 5-6 wickets for almost nothing. Suddenly 9 wickets down with 27 still needed. I came in at No.11 having not hit a run all season (in any form of cricket) but much to my delight, the bowler put the ball exactly where I like it which allowed me to clout 3 sixes plus a couple of fours and we won the match. OK it was only a friendly but that was the first time I had ever played a match winning innings (in terms of properly taking the team over the finish line).

My most satisfying moment came at the end of one of the most frustrating games I have played in ,the club first team's season finished a week earlier than ours so some of them decided they would invade our team ,they didn't take the game very seriously as our grade was "so below them" ,they all threw their wickets away and I scored the winning runs with a boundary off a beautifully timed leg glance - probably still one of my weakest shots

My most best moment was this year getting my 1st senior wicket on one of my deputy heads at school he avoids me in the corridor now. I was 14 when I got him out, will always be one to remember.

ive had so many mega times playing cricket its hard to choose, but two spring to mind

first was many moons ago,,playing a Sunday friendly against a very good local team
We were struggling for players, so managed to get my son in the team,(i think he was about ten at the time,maybe younger)
We batted first, i got a few and retired, which is always nice
Whilst fielding, i made sure my son was near me,so i could keep an eye on him
We fielded in the covers and were kept fairly busy,(id taken four catches) when their captain,(6,4" farmer,built like a house side!) skied one straight up above us.
It was in the air long enough for most of our team to tell me to let my son catch it! but i just couldnt risk his hands at that age to a ball that must have come down with snow on it! so actually took the catch one handed about three inches from the top of his head.
My sons 6,4" himself now, and still cant believe i caught the ball the way i did.

The second was last season, batting with my son, we put on a 170 run partnership to win the match
Watching him pull a Somerset age group bowler for six was special and realising how far he has come as a cricketer

Who do you and you son play for Northern ?

[Northern monkey]

Sundays at Exford cc in Somerset , he plays at Minehead cc
Saturdays and mid week in Oxfordshire

[SLC]

Any and every time when I decide to play a lofted shot - that moment's tension in the downswing as you think, "oh crap, was that the right choice", before hopefully seeing the ball fly away.
