Scored two fifties in three games so far, always use up all my runs this early!

Been to watch my son play at Taunton School today. Fantastic facilities but absolutely freezing cold. Not pleasant watching conditions.

Played against possibly the thickest eleven players I have ever played against this weekend.

They got 245 - 4 off 46.

We were 223 - 8 off 49.

Banter/sledging/abuse was absolutely terrible from the side, there's a difference between sledging and abuse, and they used the later. Trying to bully our batsmen out, luckily I've been called fatty for a while now and it only makes me more determined not to get out. Nice 22 not out for me at the end of the innings.

120 all out today. 16 off about 15 overs for me opening up. Took a slip catch, so I'd say that was an alright debut!

[tommo256]

7 overs, 4 maidens, 7 runs, 1 wicket. Not a bad opening spell. They chased down our 103 easily. I got ran out on 5 with a big dive which has done me some damage

2 nets, 2 broken MH Distinctions and most balls hit in the air .... First game next week and the batting is not feeling great

How've you broken two Distinctions?

Well today we played 30 overs a side, we batted first and I was in 7th ball, great! I then batted the remaining 29 overs and carrying my bat for 49 not out. Went into the last over not knowing what I was on, called for the Mongoose, faced 2 balls, both wides that we ran off and was left stranded! But good to get some time in the middle on grass. We hit 142-8.

They (my Sunday team) good off to a very good start. Only 2 bowlers managed to find any rhythm. They knocked it off 4 down with 4 overs left. I took 2-26 from 6 including my dad plumb lbw, beat him for pace

Played two, won two, should do very well judging what we have faced so far in our new league.

After a long winter full of practice I now need to play well, instead I got my first ever golden duck, first ball of the innings.

[97notout]

You are now my son a proper cricketer

[Nickauger]

Won by 8 wickets against a very poor team from the league above. Chased down 200 easily, openers got 86* and 74, no. 3 got 32. Was due to go in at 5. DNB. Signs are good!

2 games this weekend, and 2 ducks 
Back to the drawing board

[WalkingWicket37]

So far had a couple of 2 fers bowling (yesterday was my 1st XI debut against a side in Southern Electric Premier league so was pleased with that).
Made scores of 8, 5, 2* and 10 (average of 8.33) so far, hopefully I find some form with the bat to go with my bowling soon!

How've you broken two Distinctions?

One is a 2010 model and i digged out an inswinger yorker which split the inside edge

Then the new one i have lent it to some young kid to face 60 mph on the bowling machine and when he came out there is a large horizontal crack across the toe and up the outside edge! No toe guard on that one, i think he hit two short ones on the end of the toe!!

[SOULMAN1012]

Got my first decent score of the season today with a nice 56, shame it was in a losing cause, they got 119 on a absolute green top seaming all over the place. We were all out for 109 so close but only playing for my old Sunday side which was nice to play a proper game of friendly cricket although don't think there opener knew it was a friendly. Decent lick of pace and a fair few sledges, snarls and growls but kept me on my toe.

Used my Hammer ST and it goes very very well.
