Oh no no - in my defence they brought him on for the last 4 overs from one end and he cleaned another couple up too. He was brisk for my standard, not lightning - but he had the indecency to swing it miles.

I saw the delivery - I knew what I wanted to do to it -and then I missed it.

big step forward keeping your eyes open lol

Top win for us boys yesterday. Our first win in the Shropshire Premier League.

We were 72-7, me and number 9 put on 172 for the 8th wicket, him getting 94 and me getting 91.
Posted 260 all out, and bowled them out for 111.

top stuff wilkie! Though I'm disappointed you let a number 9 outscore you! Not to mention missing out on the ton.

I'm more than gutted I missed out on the ton mate, didn't know what I was on, caught infront of the sight screen and it was going for 6. and our batting line up is that strong, we bat to number 10, all capable or scoring a few runs. I was 8.

Not to mention a pulled quadricep muscle all fun and games :/

Played in a friendly yesterday, I was 4th most senior player at 19, the rest were u15's. they posted 328, I got 1-55 off 12. Which were the best of the day so was pleased with myself. And we got rolled for 90, I scored 4 then got bowled trying to slap to cow

First league game of the season yesterday, had to settle with playing seconds as I had work commitments meaning I couldn't play away. Batted first and posted 194-5 on a good deck, I scored 52 and got bowled the second from last ball, batting at five. Then with the new cherry managed to pick up 3-18 from 8 overs with six maidens, amazingly no runs came off the bat, which included 3 wides that went for boundaries and a couple that sprayed on the off-side, due to the captain not obliging my plea for a fine leg. Felt really sharp and the ball was carrying around chest high to the keeper standing back, he was complaining how hard I was hitting the gloves, which gave me such a lift. Picked up 24 points, so very positive start!

Nick (Auger) - I see you have signed for Perrot this year, lovely ground to play at, not if your a bowler though. Last year Gary carried that team, they might look to you to play a similar role this season with the bat!!

We got off to a good start this season, looking to get promoted to division 1 of the Somerset league. Very stiff this morning having not trained in the off season. Personally I had 5-7 off 9 overs, take that considering last week I couldnt even pitch the ball. Also, it was nice to see DS bats in action and scoring the winning runs - that was a great feeling!!
Also, the wicket was rock hard and a pleasure to bat and bowl on....dont normally expect that in May!

Must be class seeing your bats in action and people enjoying using them mate .
Wicket we played on was a road as well!

280 in 55 overs played 265 in 44. Absolute road!

Atleast they would be athletic in the field! Had almost the complete opposite situation on Saturday being the only player under 30. And at 17 I was well under half the average age of the team(which we worked out to be just over 41) which meant some very slow fielding...

[tommo256]

Played again today, 3rd most senior this time. Opened the bowling took 3 for 14 off 7 with 4 maidens, had them 2-5 at one stage. Then has a few unlucky snicks that didn't go to hand and such

[PaceKing29]

Had our first game today, scored 40. Most frustrating thing though was i said to myself this season i'm not going to play a cross batted shot, what happens! First time i play cross bat i get out...gutted to not go on and score a 50 but never mind. Bowled some off-spin and got 2-3 off two overs so not a bad start to the season!

[Tumo]

Bowled first with 9 men, kept them to 159 after them being 63/0 off 10. 10-4-18-1 for me, picked up their big-dog who got 50. Then our openers put on 110, and I came out with 10 needed and got 5*. Decent weekend, 5 wickets, few runs, always nice!

Looks as if I might be skipper for a bank holiday Intra club game tomorrow, if so I hope to keep my record perfect tossing going, 2/2 so far! 
Got my first game as Evening League skipper on Tuesday night (weather permitting), 16 overs of mayhem will test my captaincy!
