Well I outscored other batsmen who were picked but they are friends of the captain and coach so fair play to them but hopefully they have had a kick up the backside as they lost 6/6 last year and 5/6 year before because they pick friends not the best players as 4/5 players that should be in rather than the players they pick

But I am not bitter at all

[revboy]

Not asking for much then!

What standard is that at if you don't mind me asking?

Standard is not high as this will be my first proper season after completing my education. I have been training hard during the off season, which hopefully should pay off

Seeing as I am going to be playing a ridiculous amount of cricket this summer, barring any injury (touch wood!) -
I think I'll go low but will see how this pans out over the season.
1,000 Sat/Sun Runs - (lower cause I have no clue where I'm gonna be batting - like to bat 3, but you tend to get pushed around when you're my age ).
If I bowl a few overs, 10 wickets.
15 outfield catches
3 Run outs.

Then keeping, if I get to keep
10 Catches
10 Stumpings

Colts Games (9 max I think)
150 runs
5 wickets
2 catches.

Knowing me this won't happen! But I find it's more about keeping a cool head when I bat...

i want 600 runs on a saturday
about 400 on a sunday
and maybe 300 in 20/20 have to retire at 40

and id like to brake the 40 victims mark on a saturday in league cricket

I'm captaining for the first time this year, so personal targets go out of the window really

I want to finish at least mid table, have a good cup run & give our promising youngsters a good run in the side.

I always used the word "competitive" when captaining at lower levels. Result was less important as long as the youngsters developed and you were never smashed in any games - because that's no fun and turns people off cricket.

There's a lot of high targets floating around on here! 'Just the standard 1000 runs for the year '

Set the bar high mate. No point walking out there with a negative attitude. If you do that you've already lost the battle

saturday hundred will do me....still eluding me after getting close a few times now!!!

targets and goals are useless unless they are realistic though!

[roco]

Ooh are you laying a challenge down to the helmet man

[ProWannabe88]

Correct, which is why I didnt put 5000 runs, 10 hundreds, 50 wickets and 30 catches

Use this principle at work-

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time- related

[peplow]

And if you have problems such as injury or time away then make it SMARTER and add

Evaluate
Re-do
