I feel so sorry for you, one can only imagine what it would be like to be too hot to play cricket!!

I play 2nd XI C Turf in the Eastern Cricket Association down in Melbourne, decent enough standard for me!

Yeah, same here, we don't bat on either. Get the runs end of game. But you can go for outright I think and bowl a side out twice for under your score.

Who do you play for in the ECA Tugga?

Just about at the halfway point of the Aussie Summer, with one more weekend till we knock off for christmas. Hows everyones seasons shaping up?

Our team is sitting well second on the ladder hopefully a good second half will see us playing finals.

Decent season keeps on going for myself, have only played five 1st grade games but have managed to chalk up 323 runs @ 107.66.
For all games im sitting on 570 runs @ 81 in 11 innings and have gotten 14 wickets @ 13. Will hopefully crack the 500 first grade runs and 1000 total runs for the season, fingers crossed!

Get to play against a touring Kiwi team first weekend of the new year so something to look forward to there!

Hope everyone else is having a cracker season so far!

[Jenko]

going into the year i was a specialist batsmen at the age of 14 because I couldn't bowl for (No Swearing Please). I was playing in our 3rds first game of the year and the captain gives me the ball and I had no idea of what I was going to bowl, the year before I started bowling leg spin but it didn't pan out that well but it was still heaps better than my slow pace so i decided to bowl leg spin and ended up with 2-20 off 8. I went home that day actually impressed with my bowling so i kept on practising and i was bowling so well I almost made the leagues rep side haha. Im still learning and I do get hit around but oh well.

Im still doing well with the bat, never made a 50 before this year and I now have 3 next to my name so I guess that good and my stats halfway through the year look something like this

Batting:
18 matches, 15 innings, 3 Not outs, 3 50s, 356 runs @ 33.7

Bowling:
18 matches,  75 overs, 3 maidens, 440 runs :S, Econ 5.87, Wickets 24 @ 18.33

Diddums  We're about to have our fifth 40+ day here in the west, with a couple more forecast for Sunday and Monday. It's been a joke. Glad we're on a break for the holiday period, but we did have a couple of stinkers (40 and 43) fall on match days last season. No doubt we'll get another one or two this.

Hi Guys,

First time posting in here, great to see so many like-minded people who love their cricket, but also their equipment, and I'm a bit of a cricket bat junkie! I grew up in Melbourne but for the last 3 and a half years have lived in Perth and play for Western Suburbs CC in the WASTCA comp. To be honest I haven't found the heat too bad, it's only when travelling out to places like High Wycombe and Swan Valley where you feel it more as there is no sea breeze, and if there is an easterly coming from the desert, it makes it far more uncomfortable. Thankfully our home ground is close enough to the coast that the Freo Doctor cools things down nicely.

Been a tough year for our club, 1s yet to win a game and are just above the relegation area, my team in 3rd Grade (2nd XI) won our first game but lost every game after that. My season very frustrating, opening bat, scores of 26, 26, 28, 17 and 23, got a start every game and found a way to get myself out...

Got pumped by a touring kiwi side today, meant to be the south island rep colts team or something like that! Had a keeper that was very sharp behind the stumps. I was shocked to wield the only laver from both teams!

@ Jenko do you play grade cricket as in sydney grade or similar or inter district grade?

Nah mate I'm out in the sticks, play in the hunter valley. Sydney is 2.5hours away. Wish I could play Sydney grade cricket....haven't played good grade cricket since I was 16/17/18 in Brisbane and then premier league in England 2 years ago.

Bloody hot day today. Day meant for batting, and luckily we won the toss.

Myself and another bloke opening. The other bloke couldn't run as he hurt his knee in the warm up, but that didn't stop him getting to 112 (12 4's and 8 6's) by the 30th over. He got his hundred and got out before I even got to 50, lol. It was also a bit hard with the runs for me, as there were 2's and 3''s that turned into 1's as he just couldn't take off.

Made my way to the 57th or 58th over and sitting on 98 (11 4's, 3 2's and 48 singles), I play around a straight one and am out LBW. It would have been nice to get the century, but can't be too disappointed though as I edged one straight to the keeper off the spinner when I was on 30 odd, but he didn't give it (The keeper was the only one who went up, but he still wasn't sure).  By the time I got out we were 2/288 and declared in the 61st over on 3/303

Sent them in late in the day and have them 3 for not many off 20 or so overs.

It's a nice feeling when you know you've hit it and nobody goes up. Speaking from a batsman's point of view haha
