Not a great day, lost the toss and got stuck in on an absolute cabbage patch, all out for 79, I got 5. Blew out my left calf in the 3rd over taking a catch and had to hobble off to watch them knock off the runs 4 down. Think my season is over and we are relegated. Anyone beat that?

[Canners]

lol early finish!!!! = beer = hangover

Tom Athletes like me don't drink yeah right lol

[Burdy]

Wish we had a few more early finishes this year (also on the right side of the win). Them Horndon lads can drink, sales of Vimto have gone through the roof.
Did have a couple at Shenfield yesterday, found a new girly drink. Brothers Tuttie Fruity, it is a winner! Decided to have a few kronenburgs with cointreau top, deffo not a winner!

[Canners]

I was on the brothers yesterday even after giving the other boys (No Swearing Please) for drinking a pink/girly drink

Went down nicely

Won our last two games now, and things seem to be going in the right direction!

Have a look at this scorecard! A horrific track, because Lancashire have a county game there on Weds our track was pretty much uncovered for the week!

Lost last week.... Bowled the opposition our for 136, and on a decent pitch we collapsed from 60-2 to 95 all out, 8/10 of us were bowled, me included! Very Poor.
Fortunately this week, we bowled the opposition out for 136 again! So at teas we were hoping it wouldnt happen again, but we had our two openers back including our Captain, and they got us to 125, before both going quickly. Fortunately we didnt lose any more wickets and won by 8 wickets with 13 overs left. I didnt bat, bowl and fielded very averagely! But im pretty sure I wont be dropped as our captain has only got 50+ when ive played this year!

Although this isn't part of my summer season (starts on the 17th of September), it was our winter cricket semi-final today. We had a good win today, not the best bowling from them, but still have to put the runs on the board. So we made 4/343 in our 50 overs, largely thanks to 50 odd runs coming in the last 3 overs, with scores in batting order of 82, 24, 39, 83 (off 47), 48(me) and 42 (off 13), I also had a 121 run stand off around 16 overs with the bloke who got 83, and there were alot of ones by me due to him hitting them very well, so we had a lot of people make some runs today which is good. We then bowled them out for 245 thanks to a 120 by one of their older blokes and that we were missing one of our openers, but it was good as we had just rolled all the other teams, so we hadn't really hadn't gotten a decent bat and bowl in the same game. This was also the highest score I have ever been apart of. We are now 8 wins from 8 games with only the final to go, so hopefully all goes well for the final on Sunday.

Here is the scorecard from today (our stats aren't up yet but the score is there) - we are the Ragglers: http://mycricket.cricket.com.au/common/pages/asphost.aspx?loc=%2fcricket%2freports%2fmatch.asp&locx=MATCH&matchid=1064661&gradeid=963_1

Here is a scoredcard which is insane. They play in our comp and we beat them easily, but that score is crazy: http://mycricket.cricket.com.au/common/pages/asphost.aspx?loc=/cricket/reports/match.asp&locx=MATCH&matchID=1064657

We won yesterday. Put into bat at home, we would have batted first anyways, got skittled for 120, some stupid shots by our batsmen. I had to bat sensibly for 11*. Started off well bowling at them, and we got a few early wickets. Ended up bowling them out for 88 with 5-24 for myself, so a good day all in all!

[FattusCattus]

Well, I captained yesterday, and took a very weak side full of fatties and colts to play a league game. We won the toss and stuck them in. I tore my calf in the 5th over and had to hobble to slip for the rest of the game and was unable to bowl. I then lost my keeper in the 10th over to a suspected fractured thumb. Their skipper then preceeded to bat on and on and on against our inexperianced and threadbare attack to 300 for 7 off 52 overs. For the 52nd over, his pinch hitter played and missed at every single ball!!!

I'm ashamed to say that I blew my top and informed their skipper that he was a male appendage and of exactly what I thought of his declaration and the example it set to young league cricketers. Tea was a bit frosty!

Anyway, we decided to tee off for the first 5 or 6 overs, and bearing in mind our tail started at 5, if that failed we'd bat for the draw. At 40 - 1 off 8 overs, he had 5 men on the boundary, so we just chugged along. He brought on his lob bowler in the 44 over who immediately took 2 wickets - too much too late. We finished on 200 for 3 off 48 overs - and he never got near a win.

Honestly, why do clubs let twats like this captain sides?

pussy! bit of freeze spray and tape good as new lol but yeah its a pointless game when they opo obv no ur a week team and take advantage

[FattusCattus]

To be fair - he was 14!

[Buzz]

given what you have said, he could have declared with 175 on the board and got his donkey drop bowler to clean you up and be in for an early beer... nice work skips.

fattus you would obviously have been not out after all your recent nets!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Couldn't be dealing with cricket like that...52 overs in the field to try and bat out a draw!!!!

You need to get the 45 overs a side game introduced like we play here, guaranteed result then at least and still remains competitive.

[banjo7]

After a long period of indifferent form a nice 85 off 68 balls opening chasing 217 was what I needed. Finally some runs with the H4L!

And a rare bowling performance today, 7 overs 0-31. I'll take that.

Ahhh but Tom, think about it - it's the only time I've been proud to draw a game. I gave him a lot of pain in the field, and we were still scoring at around 4.2 an over.

When the 2 quick wickets fell to the lobber, the non-striker chipped in with a cheery "could've done with 5 or 10 more overs here skip!" He got a filthy look!
