No worries dude. Speaking as someone who has never got a fifty, that souns fantastic.

Mind you - I have decided I'm going to get a fifty before the end of the season.

Won by 25 runs yesterday against a team near the top of the league. Bashed 25 trying to up the run rate in the final overs, coincidentally the amount we won by which felt nice as the last few overs of our innings just put the score out of their reach. Bagged 2 catches, one was drilled very hard and only just reachable above my head, the other was a skier that I had to run in and dive to just reach. Think that makes me top catcher for the team this season.

Always good to win and even better when you've personally chipped in.

hit 80 today from opening really struggled to hit a ball after my 50 and drinks surely it should be the other way round, took 4 wickets for 58 (got hit for 4 6's on a 30 yard boundary) and there was 3 drops off my bowling, and the team won so all in all a good day.

Went and umpired the first half of the game my mate was captain in today.
I hate being injured, nothing is quite as good as playing!
Saw one of the 3rd team lads hit a quickfire 80 and saw a couple of good catches and a clean bowled by our lads before I left. Just wish I could have been out there too

Lost to Thornbury on Saturday. Batting first we struggled away to post 212, I got 26 before misjudging a ball and tamely looping it to mid-on. In reply we had them 90-5 and thought game on, but 2 young lads for them batted really well and got them over the line 5 down. One of them plays for Gloucestershire 2's and looks like he could have a future, another South African qualifying for England on the cards!

I have been struggling to score any runs but have enjoyed been part of a successful team. Last week I scored 9 and then top edged a full toss, it was going well and I felt very upbeat despite only getting 9. I was on top form fielding and we won comfortably.

So I was looking forward to Sat, eventually came out to bat in the 42nd over of 45. Blocked the first ball then played across the line at the second and was quite rightly bowled. Walked off disgusted with myself as it was utter garbage. My fielding was all over the place and we won again, it also looks like we have gained promotion.

I cannot get over the sense of frustration and despair each week brings. I am loving it though. I spend all week thinking about to do right next time I bat and half a second undoing it all again!

made 55 in a cup semi batting at 6, came in at 60-4 chasing 230, we lost too many wickets whilst I was batting after we'd gained some momentum, and in the end I was forced to take a risk and got bowled, lost by 40 runs

My poor run in T20 continues made 11 tonight but got a bit of a poor decision, given out caught behind off my pad

not proud of my reaction I'm normally pretty good at accepting a bad one but I was so surprised to be given out I just shook my head and thanked the opposition for appealing for a catch off my pad, I think their wicket keeper knew it wasn't out, had to apologise to the umpire at change of innings.

We didn't bat well as a team, only made 117 for 7 in 20 on a ground where 160 is par but we somehow restriced the oppo to 112 for 7 so beating the team immediately above us in our league.

A new one for me today. Our match finished in "a draw"

Now a draw is obviously not uncommon for cricket with winning and losing draws as that is currently the format we are playing in the Birmingham League (I cannot wait for it to return to win / Lose as this season is a bit of a test). With rain approaching and batting second we knew an outright win was not possible as the numbers of overs were never going to get above 30. We had worked out winning draw totals at each over that we needed to be on. That said we went off due to rain after 28.4 overs. We were 1 run shy of the winning draw total for the end of that over so we were pretty deflated the umpires took us off the field when they did. The opposition were celebrating in their changing rooms when the news came through that scores were bang on level for 28.4 overs and a "draw" occurred.

I've been involved in a tie before, winning and losing draws obviously but never an outright "draw". Some reward at least

We had a rain effected game as well today. Won the toss and decided to have a bowl on a surprising green surface with all the weather. Turned to the pitch was more batter friendly had then 44-4 and they posted 205.

We were 160-5 with me getting caught at short leg from a pull shot I smashed into his armpit, how's your luck. When the rain game. Game was marred by there number 6 not walking on 4 and he made 60 odd. 10 points doesn't really do us any favours.

We managed to win in a close game that makes it all better! 201 all out from 61 overs, giving the other guys 59 - bowled them out for 192 in the 56th over

What league do you play in? That's a lot of overs in a day more then a test match what time do you start?

Big game today 2nds vs third(us)

They wa 159for2 of23overs. Then 176all out of 32(me 4for20). Giving us 59overs to chase.

We was cruising at 160for5,which become 160for8 when the rain hit.
An hour sat twiddling our thumbs. And the rain stopped. Umpires told us to get on with it so of we went.

No.10 blocked out an over, then our skip smashed 11 off the next over then 6 of next to take us to victory..

Level with 2nd now, and 14 behind top!(25for a win)
