How long have you got?

[pumacricketer]

was facing an offspinner went up on 2nd last ball of innings we needed 5 to win tried to get a 6 but ball spun straight past got leg stump

Oooh, interesting....

Wish I could say there were no contenders but....

Well, being stumped runningdown the wicket at Windsor was embarrassing - not so much for being stumped itself, which is so unusual for Brigadeer Block here that I kinda wore it like a badge of honour, as for the fact that I got three steps down, my knee locked up and I couldn't even have a hack at it!

More embarassing still was a Sunday game at Cookham where I made a fairly solid 80-odd, only for them to bring their keeper one with two needed.  At which point I smashed it straight at their skipper at extra and had to walk off to hoots of laughter...

My worst was, I was opening batting for school against a local rival school and we were chasing 120 odd and I had seen off their 3 notable bowlers who had took 3 wickets between them until they brought on a guy who had never played before he slung his arm over like a shoddy malinga, I went to square cut him and played on. I got mugged off by their team and by my team and we lost the game.

After hitting 2 huge sixes for Dorset I took a horrid, wild cross bat slash at a slower ball outside of stump. Took the edge and looped to point. I was so angry at myself

[alexhilly1492]

probably when well set on 43 and not looking like getting out, cutting one straight to point, we were bowled out for 111 or something as well :/ i think i batted at 7, next week i opened walked down the track on 20 odd tried smashing the 1st change bowler back over his head, bowled, off peg knocked back

Well was facing an off spinner.

1st ball 4
2nd ball nice 2 through the gap
3rd ball play no shot,

clean bowled looked like a tool!!

[joeljonno]

Facing a decent paced in-swing bowler, he had no fine leg in so I walked to outside off stick in an attempt to flick it down there.

I missed, he didn't.  He took all three stumps out of the ground (it was a tad wet), there was nothing left to look at.

Watched a guy get out bowled to a bouncer yesterday....it was so slow it took the top of off stump, on the way down. He nearly put his back out trying to slog it!

Did this a couple of times this season. Slow pitch, no bounce, so pile it in short and watch the ball turn into a horribly slow bouncer that the batsman simply plays over the top of as it hits the stumps or his legs. Either way a wicket...

I did the exact same thing a couple of months. I was on 45...

I have far to many from last season, that picking one is like finding a needle in a haystack.  Unfortunately my good shots were so far and few between that I sometimes think I am dreaming that I ever played them!

Holed out to deep cover off a wide, juicy full toss from a part-time leg spinner.  Pretty horrific! 

[Chad]

Does your shot have to connect with the ball? I tried to sweep a yorker off the opposition opening bowler, which was pretty stupid. We were in the final few overs and I had batted for quite a while though, so I thought why not try get many runs.

In terms of shots which did connect, it's a toss up between cutting a wide and short ball from a spinner only to get caught behind, or cutting a pace bowler, only for the guy at gully to take a spectacular diving catch to his right. To be honest though, looking back in previous years, these aren't so bad. I think that's more to do with the lack of cricket more than improvement though...

[ajm90]

I suppose getting bowled on 47 reverse sweeping a seamer was embarrassing, but i stand by the shot its fun to play 

[thecord]

Guy went round the wicket to me, ball well outside off stump, left it, swung back in like a boomerang and clipped off stump 
Walked off to chirps of "good leave mate" from the idiot oppo keeper
