This season im struggling on a Saturday, but going well in the midweek bash. Averaging 63 in midweek games(we don't keep track of strike rates, but I would easily say at better than a run a ball), but only averaging 11 on a Saturday - opening in both formats, I think I should drop down the order in the Saturday format - only problem is we don't really have any proper openers.

Mr Talisman wasn't playing for them was he?

Doesn't he play for Wincanton? He plays for a side in Somerset I think!

Edit: He dit play for Wincanton anyway!

A week to forget for me, I got 1 in my midweek game off 13 balls then a golden duck today. Triggered LBW to one going down leg, I think the umpire making the decision as our previous batsman had reacted very badly to another dodgy LBW chucking his bat and arguing (it was a shocker, hit above the pad on his thigh and outside the line).

my team are on a bit of a bad run of form at present, lost agin today which is 4 on the bounce, we cant seem to bowl well at the moment. We got 215 from 46 overs which on the track we played on may have been about 40-50 short in an ideal world. We played a pakistan team who had 1 very good spin bowler and then 3 good seamers. Bloody appealed for anything and everything and got a couple of questionable decisions but anyway. I got 95 and was out in the 44over gutted but haho (i reckon i may be close to simmy) but i am playing decent county league cricket

They cam in and saw ball hit ball and they got it in 38 overs and all had really good eyes but we bowled far to much crap not a yorker in sight and we could not build any pressure on the batters. Im sure out luck will change and our bowling unit will click.

We are winning all our T20's though 3 out of 3 and also a 15over tournement our league runs 2/2 so maybe we need to just play short format cricket lol

top game today 3rd vs 4th, scored my first senior 50 being only 14 and went on to get my highest score with 78. ended up on 250 not bad considering when i came in at 4 we were on 30, they needed 8 of the last over and only managed 2 so a great day allround, ive also got a under 15's and another 2's cup match tomorrow so alot to look foward too!

Blimey Soulman, ours is the same (4 games lost in a row) but it's the batting that's letting us down! Rolled for 119 today, then we had them 6 down with nothing really left but we couldn't seal it. I bowled 12-6-15-2, as an SLA bowling round the wicket to a leftie I was having a field day, was spinning big to him! Like best part of a foot and a half, watching him trying to cut me with the ball pitching outside off and coming back to miss leg stump was amusing... Would rather I bowled like a drain and win than bowl well and lose (obviously I'd rather bowl well AND win, but we can't have it all can we... )

Played my first league game in 3 seasons today for my new clubs first team.    We fielded first, picking up their two openers fairly cheaply then their 3+4 batsmen had a fairly decent partnership as we stagnated a little, then once they were gone we skittled them for 163 off 47 overs.   When batting both our openers hit 45 ad 48. No3 hit about 8, no 5 a duck,  I entered the fray at 6 and hit a quick fire 21 from 22 inc 3 fours and a six  our no 4 ended on about 28 and our 7 finished the game with a tickled 4 down to third man.      Only down side to the game was some absolutely heinous sledging and banter from the oppo about anything they could find!

Strange game yesterday, we bowled the oppo out for 70 on a good batting track, our opener returning figures of 7-24 off 9 overs (about 13 of those were wides) and i took 4 catches including a smart one handed diving effort. Oppo skipper/umpires insisted on sending us out to bat for an hour before we took tea. A selection of poor shots and awful umpiring decisions reduced us to 37 for 5 off 13 overs when we came off. The tea break worked in our favour as we then knocked off the remaining runs easily in 3.3 overs after the break.
Now got 3 wins in a row now, which should take us to 3rd in the table

Just about to start long walk from home to ground, all 150 yards!! Home against Warboys today, will be my 3rd since 17 years out, last game got my first batting, big 8 scored with what I found out after was club kids bat! Using the loaned kookaburra Diablo today, unfortunately I miss nets as wife works that night so my practise is actually in a game, currently top of league which is unknown of, usually second bottom but I'm putting that down to the new signing lol. Good luck to all involved today, bit over cast  here but still warm ish.

Decent win for us yesterday playing away at a ground we have never really excelled at, we managed to bowl them out for 202 after pinning them back early on.

Chased them down with 4 overs left to see us top the table with 5 wins out of 6.

Yesterday we had them down to 40 something for 5. We then let it slip and let them get to 180 due to some poor bowling change decisions by the captain and decent knocks by a couple of their middle order guys.
I opened, was batting well then hit one to point. Should have kept it down. Was a good catch though. We went on to lose. Never had enough batting.

Today we batted first. There was a bit of a change around to batting order due to some poor performances over last few games. As a result I dropped to 7. Couldn't really complain as I've been out of form. Went in to bat with us on 60 something, batted until the last ball. Hit 38, felt pretty good. Albeit against average bowling. Bad to deal with a lack of batsmen to help me, got out last ball trying to smash. We finished on 125 in the end. They got that fairly quickly.

Poor personal weekend!!!

9 Yesterday and a duck playing in firsts today........

On a team note we won yesterday chasing 200 we nocked them off having been 48/5 at one stage great win. Two on the bounce now!

Today - Played in first against one of the better clubs in the league and a forum member, our first team were missing 5 players and probably the best 5 players at that.

We would have struggled with the our best 11 but may have made a fight, as it was we went for 397 in 40 overs!!!! Anothr forum member scoring 50 with what seemed and looked like a fine piece of wood!

In response we were bowled out for 95!! to lose by 302!

[Liam-SCCC]

Starting to think I'm not a batsmen anymore, had a net Tuesday. Filmed it and suddenly don't have a clue what my feet or hands are doing anymore!

Played today took a 5er so chuffed with that, took 1st wicket of match, and then they were 84-3 and ended up all out for 87, serious collapse. Chase it down inside 20 so we went out and had a 10 over bash, scored a quick 18 off 7 balls. And kept wicket terribly
