Mark Fell? Don't blame you.

Probably had it coming to him anyway. Absolutely ruined our local league by turning it into a monopoly, then thought Bracebridge could make it in the Notts ECB league. Got absolutely annihilated for a season, ran back to ours. Now the club is falling to bits. Karma.

I don't understand you saying that your not getting a chance if your good enough, all senior league clubs have excellent links with the county bar maybe one but that's not relevant, also the county ran a development course for the best 60 of each age group over the winter, if you weren't in the best 60 then you haven't got a chance! Also if you are this good then you would be playing for the senior league in the inter league games which the county assign a coach too?

you believe that

the county players I know dont take 4/5 wickets every week or get 50+ every match, county bowlers get 2-3 wickets most matches and 30+ runs when they play 15s
which is what I have done apart from for 2-3 matches when I was in bad form, whats the difference. everyone gets out of form.
Im not lying

Also I was 2nd highest run scorer for my team, top played county and top wicket taker and had one of the best bowling averages in the league
Do you have a playcricket page with all your stats on?  Would you mind posting it. I hope this hasn't come across in a rude way.

No, it doesn't get updated because it thinks that the team only played 5 matches all season and that I played 3. But since I played every 15s match plus other matches. It is incorrect

From what you have said in your previous posts, I've done you a nice letter you can copy and send!


Dear Durham people boss person or whoever makes the decisions

My Dad doesn't know you, so you probably won't know me but I am a very good player and would love to play for your little team.
I had trials before but I was 3 years younger and had to go home early because I forgot my packed lunch - this time I promise to bring my A-game and my packed lunch.
I am a good player and am one of the highest scorers/wicket takers in the league! I can't say which league and don't have any offical stats to back up my claim but honesy gov...I am and can provide written confirmation from any member of my family! Alas we do not have a coach or youth officer in my team but ask anyone and they'll tell you how good I am...I have my own kit and everything!!!
Just come and see me play and you'll be well sick........I'm a wicked player!

Cheers mate


Ok - so it's a little sarcastic! But the reason for that is that you have provided no real information about yourself! For people to help you, you need to be open and honest and genuine, and basically you had your chance to confirm who you played for and where you bowled/batted, etc! But you have been very secretive. We have heard so many claims on here, particularly when people want sponsorship.
So if you would genuinely like people to help you, then try being open and honest and you'll be surprised how helpful people can be!!!  8)

Adam, do you play district or league side cricket?
If the answer is no, then I'm sorry but you won't be up to county standard, even if the answer is yes then you will have been noticed already and deemed
Not good enough by the county coaches! The county does not just have 1 coach, there are usually 6 or 7 who go around trying to pick out the best talent!
From your previous posts about trigger movements and Kevin pietersen kit bags etc, it seems you want to look the part, which is all well and good if you can back it
up!
May i suggest something, instead of spending time on the forum, why don't you practice and try and develop your NATURAL ability instead of mimicking other players.
If you are good enough, you will get spotted, don't go chasing after things! Your 15, there's no rush!

If the top is already playing country and your being ignored, your answer is there!

If you're good enough then eventually you'll get in. If you're not in, then you're not good enough. Undiscovered talent is never undiscovered for very long.
