I would love to bowl more.  When I was a nipper pretty good bowler.  Loopy inswing type of thing.  Lost it with the bowling as I got older and the batting developed.  Average with the bat is 26 and a bit.  In the past 10 years I've only bowled 56 overs.  Taken 23 wickets at an average of 15.7.  Strike Rate of 14.64.  Best figures of 4 for 9 off 4 overs.   Economy is where it all goes a bit pear shaped.

As for fielding - shocking.

i'm not getting a bowl and feel i should be..... its soo frustrating especially when i see some right crap served up by my team mates

[Red Ink Cricket]

have a word with the skipper. surely he has nothing to loose if the rest of the team are going at a fair rate. you cant do much worse really

Get the good batsman out in the nets Canners then they cant ignore you!

[Liam-SCCC]

I thought I was developing into a batsman after being purely a bowler in youth cricket, but if I don't bowl in a match it really annoys me. Happy now with the game I am getting at the weekend being an all rounder

Open or come in at 3 with bat plus I am 3rd highest wicket taker for 1st at the mo having bowled half the amount of overs the rest have and had 8 catches dropped off my bowling not bad for first season of spin but used to bowl pace till knee went then kept wicket

Not a bad fielder but a very good slipper

I've tried that, he's said i can get a bowl in the sunday league games and learn my trade their, whuich i thinks a load of cods considering we only play about 6 sunday league games and are yet 2 play one

the good batsman never turn up to nets at my club, in fact nets rarely happen unless i organise it (can you hear that violin) lol

[Red Ink Cricket]

move clubs? go for captain next year and bowl yourself when you want. captain sounds a bit of a dick tbh. how are you going to learn your trade bowling once every few weeks at best.

I don't necessarily consider myself an all rounder, but do have to bowl in Sunday matches.  Shows the gulf between Saturday cricket and Sunday cricket, given that I don't get near the ball in Saturday cricket (have 1 league wicket in the last 2 years). 

So far this season I have 627 runs @ 44.79, and 9 wickets at 18.89, with 5 catches (must confess to having spilled a couple as well)

[Colesy]

Averaging 26 with the bat and 19 with the ball in my short career and I think I'm a good fielder not dropping many catches with a big arm.

[A-Swing-And-A-Miss]

I wouldn't class myself as an allrounder yet. I am not a 5 wicket a match bowler but I get the ball to swing and although I sometimes have a bad over or two, I usually make up for it and go for about 3 an over on average.

I'm 15 and this is my first proper season of adults cricket so I still have a long while to progress and I am improving quite quickly(Bowling, batting and fielding) so maybe in 2/3 seasons I MIGHT be an allrounder.

[tim2000s]

YOu don't need to be a five wickets per match bowler to be an allrounder. You can be as useful taking 1 wicket and giving away fewer than two runs an over. That creates untold pressure and the bowlers at the other end will then get a load of wickets... That's the way I've bowled for years. Low wickets (2 or 3  generally) and low runs, creating pressure.

[Canners]

id much rather a bowler that gave a way few runs and got the odd wicket than someone that bowls a 4 ball an over and takes 3 or 4 wickets

[Colesy]

I go for runs and take wickets. Being a leg-spinner it can go two ways. Go for runs and take wickets or keep it tight and take none or one wicket/s.

My economy in my career is around 5.5 but s/r is 21 and average is 19.

                  Overs runs wickets   best   econ    s/r     ave
This year is   46.4     226    14    5/19   4.84    20.01 16.14

Has a couple of games missing with wickets and runs

[espocrespo]

My brother can under 15's and 17's most runs and Wickets

I on the other hand can only bowl in nets
