Played firsts on Saturday against Swardeston CC. We got skittled for 116, due to them having a Norfolk seamer who was nipping it about all over the show. Managed to get 10, before being adjudged LBW when I was way outside the line of off-stump, even had a few of their players saying I got a bad one.

We then got them 56-1 in reply before the heavens opened. I opened the bowling, took 1-13 off 7 overs. Bowled with really good pace, gutted once my spell came to an end due to me not being able to bowl more because of my age, felt in such good rhythm.

All in all, was the best result for us as we gained points from the rain whilst they lost points, considering they're our biggest rivals to get promoted back to the Alliance Prem next year.

Lost last night in the cup and now rain, rain and more rain means tonight's game has been cancelled. Lets hope for some decent weather so there's a game on Saturday

Well with the state of the weather here in manc I cant see tonights game going ahead. Which is great for my broken body, but its been a right pain getting a team together.

So we played today against a team who were supposed to be rated quite highly,  and we managed to walk out wth a 10 wicket victory,  getting the runs with 12 overs to spare!  3 wickets for me will also do nicely. I do love a good win

everyone likes winning but that sounds a bit boring.. not many get a game etc.

It was a college cup game, 30 overs a side.

Number 3 was asked whether he wanted to bat as we would have retired our opener once he got to 50 but just said not to bother. Opener got to 50, deserves to see the team home! We did use 7 different bowlers though.

Back down to earth with a bang last week. Played against Gloucester City in a game reduced to 29 overs per side, i hit the first ball of the game straight to gully for a golden duck! Brings my season average down to about 95 so not all bad. We hit a very good 207-7 in our 29. But then the rain came and washed out any hopes of a finish.

Gloucestershire spinner Ed Young played for them, looked pretty good but went for 40 odd off 6 overs.

Beginning to wonder if I am ever going to get a bat this season. apart from my 16 not out in pre season, I have not batted in the last two game and I can't play in the next two!!

Batted at number 3 a promotion from number 8 and the previous seasons number 11 position. Felt really comfortable on possibly the best wicket I've played on, even played the spinners really well which is unlike me. Got to a quick 19 then poked one straight back to the bowler. All out for 51. Hahahaha

Cheeky top score?

[Milky Bar Kid]

Yep. Scored a quick 26 on a minefield the week before. Since I got a lighter bat with a higher middle my battingss improved no end

Played a Civil Service cup game today. Opened and was plodding on nicely. Other opener and no:3 got out cheaply with utterly crap shots trying to force the pace (we were only chasing 155 off 40 overs!!).. So me and our gun batsmen (we both play for a different club normally) just batted properly, picked off the bad balls and were going really well.

So Taz smashes a drive back at the bowler, who manages to get a finger tip (so he said) onto it and it hit my stumps... run out.. gutted. They were never going to get me out any other way.. Gutted    That's my first failure of the season and I was (big headed I know) easily going to get a 50 today.. not happy.

Still, least I got some good wicket time for the main event on saturday.

Due to wife issues, not playing weekends at the moment. Had a good lms win that was less of a challenge than expected taking all bonus points and 2 for 20 of my 4, opening the bowling.

[SOULMAN1012]

Had our first T20 match tonight we batted first got 132-6 my usually opening slot was lost as the skipper told me my cautious approach was not was not what was required in this format so I was down to bat at 6. I was in to bat inside the 5th over got 28 off 18 balls so quite please

They got 98 for 8 in reply so another nice win for the club. Next league T20 next week but time to get ready for longer format tomorrow.
