Well batted 12th man!!!!

on a forest of a track (was nearly as long as the outfield) it played ok and we scored 226-5 two guys hit 70's and i hit 20 from number 4 before being stupidly run out by a junior who nailed it straight at mid on called me through then sent me back from half way had no choice as he hadn't moved after shouting yes, but hey hit a quick 20 odd so im happy with that especially after playing the worst shot ive ever played last week, and we then bowled them out for 80 odd all round big win

My young lads got battered around the park today by a team of beefy league-playing men, but i can still come home and read a post from 12th Man and think 'good on yer fella!'.

I managed to double my top score, scoring 80* off 69 balls batting at seven today First ever 50 and managed to top score. Came in needing 150 off 20 overs, lost by 11 runs in the end to top of the table team.

Shame that their umpire decided that two yorkers on off stump were not out when I was bowling, created a pretty sour game.

Got 104!

We fielded first and restricted the opposition to 151-8. Took 4 for 38 and was happy with our performance as a team as the outfield was like glass and par score has been 180+

Got off to a bad start and were 40-4. A few people dug in, but then threw wickets away to some good catches ( including myself).

Ended up 150-9 with 2 overs to go. A maiden with my dad batting at 11 meant we needed 1 to tie, 2 to win off the last over. Guy facing was given out caught behind despite appearing to flick the ground. Umpire seemed to take an age to put his finger up.

Gutted at the result.

Scored for 89.1 overs today!
Never get ruled out through injury, it's no fun at all

Went to the game with 10 players today and managed to extend our unbeaten run to 6.

I lost the toss on a hard wicket with a lightening fast outfield. Me and the other opener got them down to 38-6 (the amount we got them out for last time). But we lack a 3rd strike bowler, once I had bowled my 12 straight through they started to get away. I took 12-3-24-3 and was hooping it like Jimmy A. Started it down leg before swinging back outside off.

We bowled them out for 178 and then we lost our first wicket in the 2 over to get me in, we put on 143 for the second wicket, our other opener was out for 49! It got down to 15 odd to win and I tried to go for it, but only managed to chip a couple of balls just over fielders. One of their players came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder and then point to the RED INK on the back of my bat, I just calmed down and took an 87 not out!

That is genuinely a lovely thing to do by the opposition player. Well batted buddy

Ended up with a a third ball duck again this week.  After walking to the wicket and being told by the old boy opening, don't play your shots.  So first ball defended, second ball wide so left, thirdball on a fantastic driving length, so went to drive and the ball spat up off the pitch pulled out of shot and ball rolled off the bat face and first slip took a tidy diving catch

someone could have done that for me yesterday - shared club record stand of 225 but got so bored smashing poor bowling that I chipped one up on 90!

Cheers mate, turns out I actually hit 90!

It was the same opposition player who walked when he knicked it (I didn't appeal), provided good banter when he was umpire and at slip. And then had a good chat with us after the game. Very refreshing after last weeks oppo

[ProCricketer1982]

What a waste of a sunday. It's warm, dry and the oppo's have cried off for some reason (probably due to smashing them at their place so not wanting to drive to get smashed again).. Fuming as it's such a waste as this weather is bound to not continue

Thanks mate, means a lot! Makes it all worthwhile when other things in life get on top of you.

Played my second Sunday of the year and got 67 not out to win the game. Happy weekend of cricket
