42 off 30 balls today chasing a below par 179-9. We won with 15 overs left and 7 wickets remaining. I kept wicket for the first time this year, got a catch and stumping but missed another stumping and fluffed a run out opportunity. Only 4 byes though so not bad for a part timer

First game today. 18 off 10 then run out. 5-31. First Michelle for 10 years!

Batted nicely again Saturday but run out after on ball by a muppet yesterday - he hits the ball to midwicket, calls, runs four or five paces then stops and walks back to his crease.  And then complains to our Chairman that I swore at him!

when I got given LBW Saturday by the oppo umpire, hit above the thigh pad, I said "you're f**king joking" pretty loudly for all to hear, but more in frustration to myself. Even the point fielder apologised as I walked off. Swearing is perfectly acceptable in my opinion lol

To be fair Nick, I think you were way out of order.

Above the thigh pad on you is around mid-stump isn't it?

Learn the rules m'boy

theres a limit to swearing,  as nick said in that instance i think thats fine, but as long as its a short sweet sentance like that,   ive known people go on a full rant "you dont know whaat your effing doing, your having an effing laugh, your an effing embaresement" and a few other in there that i cant remember fully.   yep and that was in a league game but unfortunatly he is a footballer, and as we know those round ball pansies have no respect for officials, wheras myself being a rugby player, if a ref or umpire makes a bad decision you accept it then have a rant back in the changing rooms

had occurred to me as well! I was trying to pull a long hop and almost at my full massive height, so it might of crept over the stumps lol

250 mile round trip to discover not selected - wish our skip would get a 'phone, and more to the point use it.

I believe I used one F word and perhaps one other vulgarity.  Both of which perfectly necessary given the cynical nature of the incident.

To be fair mate, I genuinely thought you was plum....

lol - fair enough I was living on luck from my 3rd run onwards! Main thing is we collected the win, 214-9 v 160-8. Redders got a swift 34, I smeared 52 in very unconvincing fashion. They never really looked like chasing them down.

And we're 2nd in the league!!!!

Along a similar vein, in the match on Saturday the opposition no. 11 got a very rough LBW from his own umpire, ball pitched on a good length and hit him on the thigh pad (and he was about 6' tall). Afterwards it was revealed that the umpire was getting a bit thirsty and didn't want to hang around.
