[Vitas Cricket]

Got our final pre season friendly lined up tomorrow. Away at Norfolk Premier League side Stow CC.

Lovely ground, great setting, top deck, topped off by a huge ancient tree in the covers.

[400notout]

Lost yesterday, posted 193 on an astro pitch, not nearly enough.
couple of handy ct behinds and 56 to start. Just annoyed at not going on. Possibly the coldest day of cricket I have ever played also!

Season is off to a flyer so far, just got back from barbados yesterday with my school, came back with a record of 1 win and 3 losses, but we did play some brilliant cricket, and deserved an even record I think. We played the barbados national champions, and a club with 4 players in the west indies set up including fidel edwards' cousin (he was extremely sharp to say the least).

Personally came back with 8 wickets and 1 50, so well happy

1st game today lost toss on green seamer batted 1st bowled out for 131
i top scored with 32 then bowled them out for 67
good start for me & team happy enough with gentle warm up win

[The 22nd Yard]

Not the greatest start when you get run out after about 10 balls in the middle, direct hit from backward point. Don't think I lost the Christmas weight fast enough!

[SOULMAN1012]

Had my first game of the year today all be it on a sticky two paced track, although it was a little better in the 2nd innings.

2 catches and a stumping and 45 no, solid start and looking foward to more days like today weather wise.

played a friendly yesterday at Nelson CC, bowled first and kept them to 115-8, knocked them off 3 down in 30 ish overs
dull miserable windy day, poor wicket, crap tea's. 1 stumping, nearly got hit with a beamer then got out next ball trying to smash the bowler into space, boring cricket match, not really got me excited for the season bearing in mind I'm on the cusp of being dropped into the 2's and its due to rain all week

Played against Godolphin racing yesterday, we posted 200 and bowled them out for 150, wicket was wetter than an otters pocket

Here we go the big weekend approaches. Guess what got called off tomorrow due to rain though... Not a good Omen for the coming weekend. Fingers crossed and some good old English optimism could be required, maybe a sun dance and we could get two games at the weekend.

Don't get a nosebleed being that high up buddy

Haha!  Not sure what the standard of team we'll be playing against will be, but the makeup of the team is a mixture of 3's and 4's.  I've spent the last couple of weeks in the nets batting against the 2's bowling attack and held my own

I am sure you'll do fine, if you get out cheaply then you can blame an under prepared pitch..

[ajmw89]

I always blame the pitch anyway!

Was good watching you field against the u15's simmy. Shame I didn't see you bat.

 Played our first team last Sunday, they batted first and scored 184 in 35 overs.  We then knocked them off in the last over.  Very good effort against a very good 1st eleven. Just glad they didn't have their SA pro and two opening bowlers who both are on county & international duty.
