We've been playing Indoor league since October but I am dying to have a net for an extended knock! Thinking of booking one up for my birthday next week and try out my new kit acquisitions  :)

Was meant to have an indoor fixture this evening but the opposition couldn't get a team together and pulled out about 2 hours ago  :(

The yellow indoor ball we use is hard to get underneath without lofting it straight up into the net and into the bowlers hands so dabbing and running is our tactic. Late cut to 3rd man or glance/sweep to long leg and running 1 gets you 3!

Played indoors today and must say it wasnt that enjoyable. Back has been giving me grief since yesterday and thought 'stuff it' i will play. Turned up, only had 5 players for the first 8 of the 1st 12 overs, other team got 110 (we play in a small school hall), bowled 2 overs for 14 and batted 5 out of 6 as i could only waddle and not run due to my back. I scored 19 from 4 balls before being caught from the roof, off the light and then off the basketball net.
Wish i could be fit for just one whole season of all forms of cricket

Well I got a call from a mate saying saying they had claimed points as we did not turn up

Phoned skipper and he does not even know when next game is as he was waiting for fixtures

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

After the high of last week winning the league this week brings a low................our first defeat of the season, second to last game of the league.  Well at least it is out of the way now before we go into the county finals and it was to the National Champs from last season so not to bad.  We bowled well but never really gave ourselves a chance after being 12 for 2 of 2 overs.  Gutted!!!!!

first win in 6 games! shocking start to the season for us. were hoping to push for promotion but instead fighting off relegations. all the teams who did well last year are in the relegation battle. all those who missed relegation by the skin of their teeth are fighting for promotion. usual faces in all the teams. Going against the form book. weird game!
