[Vitas Cricket]

2 friendlies: 1 win and 1 loss.

2 Saturday games: 1 loss and 1 draw

2 Sunday games: 2 easy wins, yesterday we set 310-1 (i was batting at 4...) and bowled the oppo out for 55.

On a personal note i have:

2 stumpings, 2 catches (and 2 drops! FML) and scores of 41, 37, 0, 13 and 25* - not a bad start but last year i set a very high standard with the gloves, and this year i'm feeling a little rusty. But i am keeping to an almost entirely different bowling attack compared to 2012.

Two games this weekend. Started poorly with the bat with 3 on Saturday and followed it up with a first baller on sunday to a good yorker. Bowled 2-35 off 9 on sunday as well, felt good except for the odd short ball.

Did you play in the 1's on Saturday mate?

You can tell you're not in the thirds mate - different bowling attack (if attack is the right word) every week!

So far

Game 1 batted as bad as I ever have 15 off 67 balls in context not too bad got stumped off the worst bowler in the world rk... Kept ok rusty one decent diving catch no byes 2 catches

Game 2 65 off 80 balls with the b3 jt bat felt more power through a fuller figure batted well should have gone on caught trying to reverse sweep a quick

Uneven wicket kept ok 2 catches and 2 stumpings quite happy with it we won both games with is more important than any parts..

Top of the league

Did you play in the 1's on Saturday mate?

I did mate, I see we play you in a few weeks time.

Epically failed yesterday. Got a mighty 3. Chipped up a dolly to mid on off a leg stump full toss that I tried to whack to mid wicket. Funny how you can feel really good batting one week and awful the next. Bring on first league game of the season on Saturday though eh! Cant wait. Although apparently were struggling for players already...

Beginning to dread first league game as something has got to go wrong soon.  Today, mashed my first ball straight to midwicket only for the guy to shell it for four, nicked second to slip only for the lad to have inexplicably gone quite a lot wider and bowled off a no ball on 20.  Think my 77 should read 77 all out!!!

Got a T20 match Wednesday night at North Perrott, going to use my Mongoose, used it tonight and it is lovely!

How is Bevis letting go of them? Coming out well? He bowled the most maidens in the league last year. Swannell is clefting it everywhere i presume?

Yes mate, i'll see you there

Can't believe you lost to Waresley!

Hah, i remember the days of second and third team cricket in my teens, asking the skipper what the bowler was going to bowl, and trying to work out where to stand. Nightmare! Much easier being a gloveman to a consistent bowling attack

Dropped into the 2's on saturday, got a 8 ball duck, then back into the 1's for National cup on sunday but not as a keeper. Played Hanging Heaton who racked up 280, I was suprisingly asked to bowl after a winter of bowling some gentle off-spin in nets, picked up 3-55 off 8 overs, not the greatest economy, but with a ridiculously wet ball and some decent batsmen, its safe to say I suprised a few people, broke a big partnership and took a good catch.

Now there's talk of me hanging up the gloves for a bit, and being asked to bowl regularly potentially in the 1's this weekend. Always wanted to be a spinner and may finally be getting a shot, love throwing myself around in the field aswell. So after 2 ducks in 2 weeks, things are starting to look up again and I am very excited to get bowling

Bev, swanny and our aussie have bowled very well this season. They bowled so well that I didn't get a chance to turn my arm over this weekend.

Our batting was poor on saturday, only one decent partnership. Was summed up by a first over runout. Were probably 20-30 runs short.

Waresley were stronger with ball than bat. We had numerous LBW shouts but dropped too many chances in the end.

How did you get on?

Bev is quality mate, as sure as eggs is eggs, he'll be more than good enough to claim my wicket

Yeah there have been a few surprises so far, but Waresley having any sort of bowling attack is a big one!

We drew against Camden who know their way around this league, they won it a few years back. Fox ton away next week, they walked it last year but have had a ropey start this time!
