We have a topic on batting so post what dissmissals you get and byes etc.
1 catch
1 stumping
1 bye today.

I took a catch in the match last week, a mistimed cover drive went 50ish foot up in the air, I caught it Aussie style.

2 more catches today a fairly simple one that went straight up in the air from the first ball and another to finish off the innings the ball was going down legside and somehow the batmen managed to nick it over the stumps so i had to change direction and just managed to catch it one hand. It was probably more luck than judgement but i would take that.

This is my first year keeping and I got on my 2nds out of 4 senior teams

Stumpings- 4
Catches- 2
Run Outs- 2

Another stumping today off of a seamer which was a nice feeling. This was after i missed one off the same bowler that was a wide and i couldn't reach the stumps.

This is my first year keeping as well. I'm not doing it every week, just the games when our regular keeper can't play, but due to work commitments he'll be missing quite a few this year. So far (4 games).

2  stumpings (should be 3 after yesterday but umpire didn't give it  - and it was standing up to a medium pacer!)
4  catches

+ 2 absolutely horribly shelled drop catches and one difficult dropped catch

Not sure about byes, but I know yesterday was the first game I haven't conceded any!

Most dismissals in a game is 7 5 stumpings and 2 catches
granted the catches were skiers and the batsmen were complete 'specials' on the whole crease thing
I love playing non-cricketing schools

[Timbo]

My best in one game was -

4 catches and 1 stumping, I had to buy a jug!

I kept for the first time 2 weeks ago, 3 catches and a run out. First catch i spilt but it got caught in my pad. Later that day had to keep for a senior team. Tell ya what, standing behind blokes that swing a bat hard is the scariest thing, plus they usually block half the pitch off so it gets hard to see.
