[Twelfth Man]

Always next week!

Well I've missed a weekend of cricket due to some ridiculous illness which has meant I've not been able to move for three days, gutted!

[Liam-SCCC]

So this is what happened,

We are (were) second in the league and were playing top of the league who had hit scores of 176, 181, 240, 247 in their 4 previous games. We had bowled teams out for 96, 38 and 86 in previous games relying mainly on 2 bowlers. These 2 bowlers were unavailable.

I won the toss as stuck them in, we did very well in bowling them out for 135. We only had one missed chance when our bowler parried a caught and bowled up in the air, I came charging in from mid off, full length dive, caught it left handed as the bowler dived for it, we collided, I came off worse and dropped the ball!

We were looking good at 66-1. Then they bought on a left armer, who was swinging it in which was also down the slope, nobody had any answer to it and we collapsed to 89 all out. I was so disappointed with my team, we had the chance to go top of the league and we threw it away.

Losing draw after chasing 225 getting to 200 for 8 mainly because 3 run outs happened because of 1 batsman with some very bad calls..... Irritating game to lose.

We always seem to do that when we chase a low total, it must be a mental thing

First Game as stand in second team skipper.

Bowled them out for 51 and knocked them off without loss.

26 NO. Steady away... I have to say it was frustrating but I dug deep and thought of the average!

[cricketbadger]

got a losing draw, came up 6 runs short chasing 227, I ended 66no after coming in at 90-5 at drinks, absolutely gutted couldn't get us over the line

Skipper asked me to play this weekend, after last sat's game. 'Phoned up about 12.30 this sat to tell me I wasn't required. Didn't get the call - 1.30 start - turned up and looked like a proper 'portal of paradise'. So don't moan to me that you got triggered for a low score or got carted all over the park by a guy who got dropped eleventeen times on his way to 174*.

Finally got a bat, the first innings in the league/cup (after 5 matches). Faced two balls, the first being a wide down the leg side, we ran two. The second ball flicked the outside of my front foot, the ball went for two leg byes. 0*

We won by 73 runs.

Crap weekend with the bat again. 7 yesterday 3 today. Not helped by sprained/strained wrist. Got my first ever wicket today though after bowling 6 overs. We won both days though so not too bad a weekend

[SOULMAN1012]

Played in the Aero development league today with a Orange Aero ball. OH MY GOD do those orange balls swing, young lad bowling with a little bit of pace cut my in half about 6 times it was outrageous bowling.

Any way bowled them out for 152 and we got 147, we had 6 players under 17 so great to see our colts bowl well and the 1 colt batter made a good 25, I got 43 so not bad.

Played a 20/20 last night, we set 150 with myself biffing a cultured 28n/o off 16 balls at the end including a nice 6, so was happy and rolled em for 60

[compstallcc]

played a 20/20 on tuesday, they hadn't lost a wicket and with an over to go looked set to get the 103 they needed, i had the last over bowling off spin (which i had only started bowling this season) they needed 8 so hadn't got much to loose, ended up taking a 3 wicket madien and winning the game!

Last Saturday we played Warminster at Home. We won the toss and batted first, first couple of overs I was struggling a bit and wasn't making much contact. So then I turned to plan b and tried whacking it, ended up hitting 7 fours and 3 sixes before being bowled for 50 from 24 balls. We then slipped to 120-7, but our lower order were superb and recovered us to 241-9 from 50. We then bowled and fielded like demons and on a good batting track bowled them out 58, to take us back to 2nd place in the West of England Premier 2 League
