That's two weeks I've jumped from the 4s to the 1s and two weeks the game has been cancelled. If I'm lucky I'll get a game for the 4s but would have liked to test myself at a higher level, wondering if the season will ever start at this rate

First cancellation of the season in the books with this weekend's game called off already

I actually managed to get a game in today. Must admit that no matter how much indoor work that we do there is nothing like being in the middle when it comes to batting and bowling! Felt very weird...

After all the weather problems last year and after looking forward to the start of the season for the last 6 months, the oppo have called off today's game becuase they have a stomach bug going round!

I assume you get the points? Ring Berry and see if anyone else is in the same position, might be able to get a friendly setup.

First game today, only a friendly but the sun is out!!! (untill about 2 o'clock when it will more than likely hammer it down!lol)

After all the cancellations I'm meant to play tomorrow, and I can hardly breathe without coughing. Not that it's going to stop me playing or anything like that, I might annoy the oppo a bit though...

Our game got called off so I spent the day in the sun up the oval!

had a my first game of the season today that was a friendly. Opened the bowling and I bowled the best I have ever bowled and was really hitting the deck hard. Was getting a lot of movement of the seam today and it really was causing batsmen problems. Bowled a few absolute peaches because of it. Ended up taking A career best of 6/23 of 7 overs and got a two wicket maiden in my first over. Also finished the game for us with the batting as I came in we needed 8 of 3. Managed to hit two classy fours over the bowlers head that were pretty well hit! Overall a good day

Had first game of the season today. A friendly for North Weald (not my usual team but our Sunday captain plays for them and were short a man). Turned up late after playing in a football tournament this morning, went into bat at 10 and hit 18 no. Used my BB today for first time in a match, seriously impressed! Hit 3 4s which I just didn't even feel come out of the bat. Didn't feel a thing from the handle, times them well but didn't put too much power in and they just raced away to boundary. I was dying by the end, legs were cramping after 5 hours of football. Was awesome just to be playing cricket in the sun! Even managed to get sunburnt! All in all a good start to the season. Bring on next week

Had a friendly today which I think the oppo took a bit more seriously than us. They got 159-6 in 45, mainly through some sharing around of the bowling. Could've easily closed them out for 120 but were trying to get everybody some overs. We rather limped to 98ao in 45. A slow wicket that seemed to get a bit more variable as the game progressed didn't help but we were a bit rusty. Bowled a tidy 8 overs for 19, could've been better but not terrible. Scored 10 and didn't look like getting out until I got a jaffa of a leg cutter, in truth my foot movement was a bit lazy. Plenty to work on with both bat and ball.

Many thanks to Pete Hosk for playing at the last minute. Bit unlucky to be out bowled off the pad but played his part

Enjoyed it thanks Nick. Was a game played in good spirit but you're right....they seemed to have more to prove! Your team are a decent bunch and the wicket did get worst and with the outfield slowing all the shots down made things worst. But that's cricket in April for you. The sun was shining and it was warm and more importantly the tea was superb! 
And my dismissal was unlucky but I guess everyone gets out in an unlucky way a couple of times in a season.....so at least I've got this one out of the way.
You looked set fella, but the wicket was doing strange things once it dried out.
Next time we'll put on 50 each Nick

first game of the season, we won but i only got 3 opening before nicking off and kept like a ****. Have a feeling opening the batting and captaining is really going to effect my keeping this season

Played, won. Good Result. We made 244 on a tough wicket, so everyone chipped in, got 42 then got out, annoying after doing all the hard work.
Then we nipped them out for 127.
