It was one of our players lol and it's the 3rd time Redders has been LBW this season by his own team "mates". To be fair after the first one I told him to keep his pads out of the way ,use his bat and don't trust anybody to give him not out, so he's getting better lol. I'm expecting to smash it through square leg and be given Saturday. He's on suicide watch if he gets another 

I use to love playing with Panel Umpires. They spent all their old age watching Hawkeye and couldn't wait to trigger somebody when I bowled my left arm darts. I was given some right shockers in the Cup last season 

The way panel umpires are currently I don't blame a bowler for trying his luck, why not when you know (especially second innings) you are sooo likely to get them given out. Just ruins games and the enjoyment when you know you can't play properly in fear of it hitting your pads

feel for redders

[nudgemaster]

good lad! i got triggered ball pitched out side leg stump gave me lbw. i kicked of threatened a few people bowler told me to f*** off so i confronted him didnt say nowt when i was stood infront of him!

won game easy but my average is ruined

took a amazing diving catch tho lol

It was plumb.........

The catch was quality, to be fair I thought your bat was quality and the early flick to square leg had decent ping!

We should have given a better chase but opted to give lads a chance (including me!) rather than have a whack...... error!!

So today, woke up this morning with no hope of a game. End up going and driving and arriving in to rain to an away game. We decided to reduce the game to 35 overs a side to increase the chance of getting a result.

I was smashing the ball around for fun on a wicket that was still awesome to bat on, ended up getting out to a ball that was going a foot down leg and went off my pads and back onto my stumps! I was gutted, made 31.

We ended up 117 all out. A good score considering we had a collapse in the middle order.

Then we bowled them out for 65, I took 7-29, my best figures ever, I had a triple wicket maiden! I even dropped a caught and bowled that busted my finger so it could have been 8!

Came in at 181-7 half way through the 43rd over. Got a 7 ball duck and we finished 182 all out with the one run coming off my foot after misjudging the line, length and pace of the bowler. I came on to bowl with the game all but lost at 110-2 off 26, got their opener out(who was in the mid 80s at this point) and the next over dismissed the other settled batsmen followed by their new batsmen next ball. Sadly I wasn't able to take anymore wickets(not helped by a variety of bowlers at the other end all bowling full tosses) and so ended up with 3-24 off my 7 in a losing cause. Not a brilliant day but it is better than playing no cricket at all.

Rained off again 2 weeks in a row and away next week. This season seems very similar to last season.

Interesting one for us today. Shortened from 46 to 40 overs as poor weather was expected (it didn't materialise). We batted first and scored 259 ( a team record) and the mate of a mate who came in at the last minute due to lack of player scored 159, with 120 coming in boundaries.

The opposition openers decided that they wouldn't chase it (or at least it felt that way) with me and the other opening bowler failing to get wickets (but a hard wicket meant that I had at least 6 balls on a length go over the stumps), and not getting hit for runs. We got past 20 and they still needed 190, so they set themselves for a T20 run chase. As our lesser bowlers came into play, they still weren't making the required rate, and they ended up on 181, which works out as a win for us. I ended up with 10-2-26-2.

The opposition today included two guys with Blueroom bats.

For us it was t20 cup day. A round robin of 3 teams. League winner goes through.

Arrived it was raining, oposition(home side) did not want to set up, kept On saying it was a "coin toss day" and could we get it done as they wanted to go study the dogs,


Umpires thankfully had non off it, told them we was shortening game to 15overs and would atleast attempt a game.

Game started 20 mins late. Blue skies and sunshine for rest of day!

Found out why they wanted a coin toss. Bowled them out for 39 and knocked them off in 5overs without loss.

Second game, opponents put on 92 in 20 overs. We knocked them off in 17overs 5wickets down.

We won the group and through to round 2.

A few showers today but we got a winning game in against the 3rd in league. Which is good as we have just lost 12 points for two teams dropping out of the league, which meant we dropped from top to 2nd.
One of them we bowled out for 39.

So I have now not batted for a month since I was out for 4. Two conceded games, not needed when chasing down 39 last week and due to come in fourth today when our openers got to 112 chasing 144 to win. No. 3 helped knock them off and I stood and watched in the rain.

Might be all change next week as our captain goes in for a knee op so is unlikely to be playing for a while. Hopefully get some practice in a friendly on Wed.

An hour and a half drive for us to an away game.

Playing on an artificial surface  , although the pitch didn't seem awful! One end was covered in bird s***, and the other end was very damp. As well as this, the stumps were barely straight due to the poor quality of the holes to hold them in. Also throughout the game the bails were blown off by the wind... the result, they stuck them on with chewing gum ... to comments of 'So Village'

So the game. We won the toss and put them into bat.

They have a Sussex Vet opener who proceeded to smash 77 with ease (please see my other thread on this), with others chipping in around him, they declared on 212 after 45 overs. Giving us 48 overs to chase. Keeping I had one dropped catch which would have been impressive to say the least and 4 byes, which was a relief after the c**p bowling that was being served up.

We were behind the run rate early on and soon were batting for the draw. Personally I got 4 and then got bowled trying to pull a pie chucker into the  English channel, rubbish ball, equally rubbish shot and an even rubbish-er track.

We got the draw 8 down.

No more to report really.

Not a good Saturday personally. Stuck in to bat and I shouldered arms second ball I faced and although it missed off it cannoned straight into middle. First duck for almost 2 years. I did get a run out and a catch at deep midwicket and after our 203 we bowled them out for 84 so good day as a team!

[19reading87]

We beat bottom of the league Saturday, a much needed win. They batted first and got 138-7 off 45. I bowled 10-3-32-2 so was pleased on my first real bowl of the season. ( nick Saunders wasn't needed to bowl - still think he's angry at me)

We then knocked them off only losing 4 wickets, nick batted at 3 and got a decent 28. I finished on 7no hitting the winning runs with a cover drive.

Great win for the team. Huge local derby this weekend

[uknsaunders]

Won both days. One a relegation battle Saturday, they scraped up 138 which we knocked off for 4 down. Didn't bowl but it was one of those decks that was doing plenty for all the bowlers and a wicket always looked round the corner (Wasn't fussed Redders honest!, but Kaneo was in a state of shock and kept asking me if I was injured lol). Batting was alot tougher than I hoped, the deck never really dried out and I played a dirty 28 to keep things ticking over mid innings.

Just about got enough players together Sunday for the Marlow Vets team, ended up with 10, but a pretty handy 10. Won the toss and we spanked up 250-7 in 35 overs before declaring. Marlow's 2nd XI Number 11 top scored with 78 (batting at 4 on Sunday) and the overseas came in at 9 and switch hit the opening bowler for six, they weren't a great bowling attack but the runs proved vital. Oppo looked well placed at 145-2 just before the 20 overs, but we worked through the batting and bowled them out for 201 off 35 overs, they still had 9 overs to bat so had wickets been in hand things would of been mighty close. Got to 17 in good time before playing round a straight one, and took 1-30 with the ball. What a wicket though! It was turning and bouncing a bit but even so the ball pitched leg possibly even a touch outside and took the top of off. For such a high scoring game the wicket did plenty for both teams, spin and seam alike. It's funny how you can get games where the ball does nothing and it's a low scoring affair, then you play on a deck moving around and the scores double!

I took 7-29, my best figures ever, I had a triple wicket maiden! I even dropped a caught and bowled that busted my finger so it could have been 8!

Not bad going! Better get about changing your best figures on your profile bit to the left
