Well while all our pommy mates are holed up inside hiding from the cold reminiscing on the summer that was, I think it's only fair to share how our season in the golden sunshine is progressing. Good summer so far, sun has been shining and not a sign of rain!

I've managed to get 6 games in so far, my tally looks a little like this:

- 6 innings, 280 runs @ 66. HS 69*
- 48.3 overs, 10 wickets for 130 runs. BB 4/20

How is this summer shaping up for everyone else??

Nice work mate. Are you down in NSW now?

Make my comeback game from my broken foot this week. Am bloody pumped to finally get back out there

[Jenko]

Yeah buddy in NSW now.

Mate I bet you are!! You have been out of action for a while now...hopefully you get your season underway with a bang!

Sounds like a plan

I reckon swinging a 2.8 pound bradman replica after years of swinging a 4 pound buffed and stickered part-made would (No Swearing Please) with anyone's timing.

We should all catch up and have an Aussie forum net one day...or just a few beers whatever suits

[tommo256]

Erm have batted once and got 4 then got caught, and have bowled 10 odd overs for about 30 runs with 1 wicket

Been a bit all over the place playing different games for different clubs at different levels but so far weather has been nice which is all I can ask for! First week was called off but lets face it, the chances of playing in October in Vic are very minimal...always seems to rain.

Managed to make a few runs but also a 2 (run out ) and a duck drag it down..

Played a few games all of them injured, then it got a lot worse and i have missed 7 weeks , but get back to it next week  . sort of ruined quite a bit of my season

[Jenko]

Played on a wet green track today, got sent in and it was moving all over the shop, we got to 190...I was out caught for 99...gutted! Didn't know I was on 99 and was batting with our number 11 so was chasing twos not singles! Oh well....we rolled them for 60 picked up a cheeky wicket our opener picked up 7!! Good win anyway

Wet green wickets in Australia???!! You must be lying!! We are to believe in England that its constant 50+degrees heat and rock hard roads to bat on

P.s well Batted buddy

Bowled them out for 301 today off 77 overs. Long day in the field, we were playing on a road with a super fast outfield.

First game back for me today. Was supposed to be last week, but the rain ruined that, and almost ruined today as well. We ended up getting on for a 35 over a side game (usually 40 over's each for one day games) and would have been the only grounds to get on in grade cricket today (Our field and another one in the same complex).

We batted first and we were all out for 193 off 32.5 overs. I top scored with 44 off 40 odd balls (all the top 7, bar 1 who got a duck, got starts but no one went on with it). Could have more but we lost our last 6 wickets for 40 or so, so bit of a collapse in the search of quick runs. The field was a little bit wet but the it ran surprisingly quickly.

We ended up rolling them for 82 in the 23rd over, so a very solid win for us and with some bonus points too, which is excellent considering all the other games would have been drawn so split points for them.

Best part of the day by a long way was that my foot held up really well, a little bit stiff now, but overall I am very happy
