[Tumo]

well my form came to an end 2night only
10 of 8 balls tryed cutting a ball on off stick and chopped onto my stumps new i should of gone for the moooooooo shot lol.

oh well try again on thursday @ least its only 20/20 and not sat

Stick to what you know Simmy, the leg side is there for a reason

[Mr Cricket]

the leg side is the side of kings! only a proper batsman can dissect a leg side field.

playing straight is what they teach the kids, but it takes a proper eye to smash across the line!

tumo saw me do this in my younger days before i learnt how to bat

Considering you scored 90% of your runs on the leg side, I can't see you forsaking that line of attack entirely, I bet it's still a 70-30 split towards leg!

[Simmy]

sorry to disapoint but i dont often smash to leg side unless its  donky dropping spinner usually straight over bowlers head lol

Yes that is a 20 yard legside boundary (or offside)

[Simmy]

omg look how short it is over mid off frop top end lol

[Burdy]

Played for 2's today. Off the mark with 56 , should have deffo got more. Our total was 230 odd all out on a not so nice track. They chased it down for the loss of 7 wickets (to be honest i cant remeber, having a brain fart)
I took a one handed screamer in first slip (still got it lol). All round good game for all.

[uknsaunders]

Normal service for us - we scored 350-2 in 45 overs and bowled the oppo out for 88.

Our lads put 213* on for the 3rd wicket in 18 overs, one scored 141* off 66 balls and another 124* off 111. Oppo tried to block from ball one and 26 off 15 overs was boring. Even resorted to 9 slips at one stage in an effort to get them to play a shot. Eventually some donkey drop off spin made them play a shot and buy some wickets. Our kiwi bowled the last 5 batsman to wrap it up.

Normal service for us too - lost toss, inserted on damp track, skittles for 107, I got a duck. They knocked them off for 5 as the pitch got easier. Highlight was the multiple hearing aid wearing ump asking the guy who had walked after getting a massive edge to me why he had walked as he wouldn't have given him out...

Almost exactly the same as us - except they got them for 4 down.  I battled hard against their opening bowlers then their Hertfordshire bowler yorked me for 9.  Gutted.

[A-Swing-And-A-Miss]

Wet track, cloudy, perfect bowling condition, all the team says bowl, the skipper wins the toss and elects to bat...Facepalm.

We were on the backfoot from ball one and really struggling, finished 93 all out off 42.1 overs, I scored 4 off 9 deliveries.

Defending 93 was never going to be easy, and my bowling struggled from the start, however I got their number 3 plum LBW trying to smash a ball on off stump through square leg... Another slogger replaced him and smashed the ball around getting a quick 40 odd and taking the game away from us. I came back on to bowl when they were 93-8 needing one wicket to get a draw(One of their players went to A&E so only had 10 batsmen) bowled 3 brilliant yorkers, the third one he scrapped to a fielder who has given himself a tiny bit too much room and they somehow scrapped a single to win the game.

We got 6 points out of it which wasn't too bad in the end.

Ill let roco give a match report on our game today...

Safe to say I'm a happy chap

(And be honest mate, despite you getting a bit of a shocker 2nd ball in)

[pacman75cricket]

Ooooh you tease!!! We batted first and hit 143ao on a damp pitch. Bowled 6 overs before tea and took 2 wickets, and at 1 point had them 19 -3. They then recovered to 91-3 (their captain and no. 4 batted extremely well to be fair). They then collapsed to 126ao. Brilliant game and the oppo were a decent bunch and a better team than 2nd bottom. Enjoyable day all round, made all the better for winning though I must add.

Lost today to wills team we played poorly they played well simple

Plus yes my lucky streak with the bat continued as got given out lbw by our ump when it was missing the next set even will admitted it was no where near out

Weird though that will seemed to use an invisible bat as did not see him connect with one
