Won yesterday, defended a well below par 157 somehow, got 17 opening in a 40oss partnership and then picked out point perfectly rather than the massive gap behind square. Actually got a bowl too and felt really good 6-1-10-2 including the winning wicket with about 15 runs needed in 4ish overs.
Lost today, was an incredibly frustrating game due to a fair bit of friction between the two teams. We ran one of the opposition player's child out and he wasn't happy saying that his club would never have done it and that the keeper shouldn't have taken the bails off - gifting them a run in the process?
I used to play with the player in question and was pretty surprised at his attitude! Then our umpire turned down a lbw appeal from their opener who then started swearing and calling the umpire a c**ksucker which our umpire didnt take to kindly and swore back meaning i had to calm them both down.
Then our glorious captain sent in someone at 4 who shouldnt have been above 10 and was only playing because we had 10 men, so i had to farm the strike from about the 14th over of a 40 over innings while maintaining a 6 an over rate. Needless to say i got out (top edging/toeing a sweep to midwicket) trying to keep us going. We came close due to a good 52 from our number 8 but lost by about 20 runs in the end chasing 249.
The most annoying thing was that i was on 992 runs for the season and got 67! If next weekend it tips it down i will not be happy!
