I once kicked my helmet from the field as a kid, I was seriously reprimanded by my Chairman as it was not part of cricket, So I have never damaged my equipment since, I often swear and talk to myself if I feel I have let myself down,

quite right - when I was a kid I tore a muscle in my back throwing my bat.  Never again!

Being left stranded on 97* when a guy who had been roped in to play for us at the last minute inside edges a ball for 4, winning the game. He was wearing jeans, no shoes (he only had black leather ones, which would have killed the pitch) and a shirt and tie. Devastated.

Also playing as a 15 year old for my old senior team, the captian gave me a lift to the match and decided to drive 30 miles in the wrong direction. we got to the game 20 mins late, by which time we were 20 odd for 4. I wen in at 28-6, our captain having gone first ball.

One of their bowlers had got all 6 wickets, and i'd been warned that he was unbelievebly fast etc etc, so i wore a helmet for the first time ever. I scratched about and made a couple before facing my first delivery from the much lauded bowler, a fairly quick wide. He then was noisily sick just off the pitch, to much laughter. It turned out that the day before had been his 30th birthday, and he had only stopped drinking about 30 mins before the start of play.

He smashed middle stump out of the ground 2 balls later, we ended up 37 all out and the drunk bowler with figures of 9-16.

Saw a bloke drop kick his helmet into a brick wall that was odd.

Well I have a couple.

Last game of the season dropping the teams number 7, 5 times while is was on his way to a 197.

Getting all out twice in the season for under 50. And playing most games with 8 people.

Safe to say it wasnt a great season.

Oh and not to forget me dropping a catch so it hit the jewels

Bowled out for under 50 isn't bad. We played the so called best team in our area, however we bowled them out for 24. Bearing in mind this was in the final of a tournament in the West of Dorset for the Under 18's.

Here's the scorecard if anyone wants to take a look -

Skittled for 24 is shocking, I mean thats not even 3 runs per batsmen!

[legger123]

I know! Played on probably the best pitch in the West of Dorset. So they can't use that excuse. I tucked in for a 50 not out and 5-8 off 3!

[wilkie113]

I did see mate

Good little game for you then!

[legger123]

Good tournament for me! Scores of 27, 70(the fact they had players take the gloat away), 79, and then 56 not out in the final

Love playing at your place. Covered pitch and great teas.
What more do you want?!?

My old clubs third team were all out for 7 once. They only had 8 players and 4 had never played cricket in there life. and to make it worse the second team were all out for 14 on the same day! One batsmen scored 9 runs and the rest made 5! The captain thought it would be a good idea for everyone to sign the match ball and keep it in the clubs trophy cabinet.

Pitch is lovely, as a batsmen. Not a fan of bowling on it!
You think our tea's are good, come play a game of proper village cricket, where the tea's are apparently the best in dorset

This one was...well, suffice to say we were seriously looking for 0 all out when their bat aimed a swipe through square leg that raced through cover...
