Tough times my man. only one way from here! (just don't get another golden)

First one in 5 years or so, hopefully there's not another one due for a few more years

[charlie15]

Played Monty's Beard's lot, ended up winning by 3 wkts in a very low scoring game.  Batted second came in at 5 got 0  , bowled top of off stump, good ball but not happy at all!!!  On the plus side we won all 6 Saturday games for the first time in the clubs history, and got to watch a thrilling finale to the 1st's game against Bank of England.  Shame the Sunday seconds couldn't get a win to make it 8 from 8, but I suppose 7/8 isn't to bad!

I did 

Me too! I hit it, then got given out.

[Liam-SCCC]

I've hit 1 run in 3 innings on Saturdays this year and 20 in 2 on a sunday

[mattw]

Not a bad start to my season, hit 44 on saturday. Averaging 45 in all comps at the moment (it won't last long).
I've also been taking wickets, so that's a brucey. Best thing about this weekend is that I got a woman at works husband out bowled.

[19reading87]

22,44*,17,29,38 and 9 so far this season in all comps.

The 44* and 38 in the league which is the most important

[Simmy]

[Colesy]

Overall I've had : 8*, 59, 26, 66*, 19, 5 and 42. Those in bold are league games. Hopefully get a few more on a Saturday

[Talisman]

First league game of the season and ran out of energy (grossly unfit) and edged behind on 94...

[Pitbull]

Finally got off the mark wicket wise this season, got 3-47 off 7 (rather expensive) but at least I've got some wickets now!

Managed to get in 2 games this weekend.

Saturdays game, home to Ferndown Wayfarers. They managed to knock up 172-6 from their 50 overs, with Eric Linge (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/296815.html) scoring a fairly impressive 50. We then knocked them off in 34 overs for the loss of only 4 wickets, I was scheduled to come in next, and didn't bowl. Still happy for a team win though! And here's a scorecard for the game - http://dorchester.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=11469896

Sundays game, home to Mere, completely different story, we bowled first and got them all out for 61, a pitch that was seaming here there and everywhere. Then opened the batting for the first time for my sunday team in a while, and got adjudged to be caught behind, when I got beat by an absolute jaffa! So recorded my first duck of the season, having only faced 2 balls. And we were bowled all out for 21. With 10 ducks in the whole game. And i'm still wicketless for the season!

[Talisman]

Legger, who do you play for? I've got a game against Mere on Wednesday and heard the track is awful these days.

[legger123]

I only play for Thornford on sundays, we were part of the Three Counties League, but backed out and they still wanted a friendly. I remember playing on their track last season, it was alright in stages, but other than that it wasn't great at all!

[RoCo Da Pixie]

Saturday I got a grand total of 1, Was run out, It was a poor call for a run on my part, Oppo batted first hit 249 for 8, We managed to get it with 3 down and 10 overs remaining. Number 3 scored 103, Number 4 smased 73 from 34 balls to take us to victory,

Sunday I got a duck, Was given out LBW when the ball pitched outside leg, But thats how it goes, I bowled, Figures were 5-3-2-4 It even included a double wicket maiden. However I feel the pitch took spin bowling very well.

[Manormanic]

On the plus side, we're still unbeaten and I got a decent 70 on Saturday.

On the negative, it was one of the most pointless games of cricket I';ve ever played in - stuck the oppo in on a greenish pitch, turned out to do a bit but not much and they made 240 in their 52; they then set the field so deep expceting us to try and hit sixes to chase their score and griped when we would play patsy!  Needing 150 off 20, I hit a full toss through midwicket for four and their last close catcher went out to the rope!
