Cricket is over rated.

It would be nice to have a match. Our opposition conceded this morning as they could not get a team. It took them until 10.30am to tell us despite us anticipating the situation on Tuesday when our team was picked. They had conceded the last two games for the same reason. Just waiting to find out if we are top of the league as a result as we were second.

An annoying pattern is developing as we seem to be playing once a fortnight as a result of weather and teams conceding.

Bowled 6 overs for 18 runs taking 1 wicket, so quite pleased with that.
10 runs with the bat, just pushed at the ball and put it back into the bowlers hands

Chasing 210 after having them 20-0 from 21 overs.
Ended up losing by 10 runs, came down to being outfielded by the opposition. We gave about 30 runs too many due to a horror show in the field
Personally, I hit a low full toss straight to the fielder. Really can't buy any luck with the bat; fellow team mates got dropped, one wicket of a no ball.

No opposition next week due to them withdrawing from the league.

had my first go at bowling off spin in a senior match today, still 14 and learning spin but got a wicket so pretty happy with that, played on after hitting to gorgeous cover drives, always next week i guess.

Suffered not having an umpire today. Turned up to a nice looking ground, went to look at the wicket and it was just a lump o mud with moss on top, soaking wet no covers or sightscreens, there skipper rocked over with there umpire and despite our protests at saying it wasn't fit to play on they said it was umpire agreed a d they opted to bowl. Anyway most things just shot along to floor or popped and spat. We got 75 it dried out a touch, we dropped 4 catches and lost so a load of crap really . To at on a wicket like that at a decent club level was just shocking. First time this team have used this ground and I'm so glad we won't have to go there again.

Won on the last ball, bowled them out for 166 and after being 29-5 we managed to chase it down!

Won again today, oppo inserted, all out for 77 off 27 overs, we knocked them off 7 down, i got a quick fire 30, before top edgeing it into my helmet and into gullys hands,  in the form of my life (touch wood) averaging 51 this season (64.5 in friendlys) . However, what put a massive downer on the day was that they were a massive bunch of w****rs, they appealed for anything that hit the pad, even the guys at fine leg and square leg, then one of their bowlers decided he didnt like me backing up and told me he was going to 'knock me out' if i didnt stop, umpires totally lost control and ended up having a go at me and my opening partner because we were antagonising (rubbish). they were frankly a disgrace to the game

Won yesterday, we batted 1st and posted 221 off our 45 overs (4 runs off full Barton points) and restricted them to 202-8. Personally I took 2-40 off 8 with my offies (more expensive than I've been all year in the league). Our overseas also scored a decent ton so good day for us really.

On another note off to captain later nursing a hangover, at least 4 of our 6 league sides won and it was my best mates birthday yesterday, so the post match trip to town got a bit messy

Not out if you hit it onto your helmet too!

Thought it was only a dead ball if it hit fielders head/lid?? KP was put caught off his lid in the 09 ashes

Shame when you come up against a team like that, ruins the game for your team, however at least you won as its bad if you lose to a team you hate 

[wilkie113]

We got bowled out for 39
I was 9 not out, we only scored 16 runs off the bat, the one guy got  7 for 5.

Absolute wheels he was, but it happens sometimes! Pick our heads up and move on
