[SOULMAN1012]

On what must be the hottest day I have ever played cricket in ( the temp gauge out our club reached 32 degrees we played 2nd in our league and for the first time this season bowled first. With a very I experienced league side 3 under 16's we restricted them to 234 from 46 overs. There opener decided he was Stuart broad and nicked off big style from a pull shot straight through and there umpire said not. Batter said it hit his lid with a lovely cherry on the shoulder of the brand new GN icon he was showing everybody before the game.

In reply we limped to 150 all out. I got 10 before cutting cut in half by there opener and having my middle stump sent tumbling back 10 yards ( he was very sharp and hopped it both ways) looks like we could be relegated after 3 league winning seasons.

Lost at least 2 trouser sizes in the field after loosing the toss, bowled them out for 183 ad chased them down for loss of 5 with 8 overs to spare.

I scored 7....it was a good 7 tho including a 6, bit crap really as only needed 20 to win by the time I got in!

Got to the oppo's ground and it was ridiculously hot! After having to field first last week in the blazing heat I was fearing the worst. That fear increased when I heard that we had lost the toss and yet the oppo captain decided to field first in the boiling heat. A decision his team didn't enjoy I don't think. Our batsmen smashed their way to 291-7 off our 45 and after a nice tea I took the new ball and struck almost immediately and regularly from that point on. When I finished bowling at the 14 over mark the opposition were 60-5 and I had taken all 5 of those wickets. Didn't bowl any more in the innings but did take a catch as we bowled them all out for 130 odd.

A very good day especially as I didn't get to bed until after 4am due to hosting a house party.

Got absolutely walloped yesterday. Playing against Taunton Deane, they batted first and racked up 401-6, yes 401-6. Their opener Chris Jones hit an unbelievable 220, he's the guy who hit a 100 against Australia a couple of weeks ago for somerset. In reply we were 81 all out, i top scored with 22! Therefore losing by the mere margin of 320 runs. Unreal game.

So after not playing due to personal reasons for a while, I started playing again last week where I got 24, but this week went well where I got 69* chasing to win the game. We chased down 163 in 30 overs 4 down, think that's 5 in 5 for us and going well. Just hope I can get some form now and kick on for the rest of the season.

Sounds like a lovely day in the field mate chasing leather. Must have been an unreal innings! I've played in a game where one of the oppo got 220* odd, was ridiculous!

On Saturday we posted 235-8 off 45 and they chased it down for 6 with an over to spare.

I got a ball on the end on the finger which only stopped bleeding 18 hours later and is swollen and bruised horrendously, I couldn't play today because of it. Just hope I can hold a bat & grip a ball for next weeks game now 

[compstallcc]

passed the 700 runs mark today, hopefully can make it too 1000 this season now.

[tushar sehgal]

Scored about 10 runs yesterday, bowled 8 overs for 30 odd runs and 3 wickets + 4 dropped catches off my bowling, would have had over 5 wickets but oh well stuff happens.

[Colesy]

We won Saturday chasing down 163 for the loss of 7, I got 73 off 69 and hit one a little too well to long off needing 10 which was pretty disappointing.

Won Sunday too chasing 113 for the loss of 5, I bowled 2 overs for 1 run, got taken off and a nice DNB at number 8. Team game I guess.

On 722 runs this season so hoping to go past last season's 1012, then onto my best 1113.

[WalkingWicket37]

Just got back from minor injuries, medically advised not to play this week, scoring duty for me this Saturday.
Been told if the swelling & bruising is gone and I strap it I might be able to play in 2 weeks. Industrial amounts of Arnoca will be used to ensure I only miss one week!

[Montys Beard]

Been off of here for a while but recorded my top score for the season (47) last week, I needed 3 for my 50 and we needed 2 to win the match. Needless to say I got bowled before making it. Batting under a lid for 15 overs was inhumane in that heat.......

You have probably seen the pics but not heard about the game. We were playing Kenny's lot and crawled up to 136-8 off 45. It was very green the deck but we got into a mess by not scoring quickly and losing wickets - 46-5 off 22 or something. Shipston bowled well but not that well lol. Redders got 4 and I came in 9 and made 5, still nursing the Achilles back to health. In reply we bowled like drains and the big fat lad put bat to ball to race them to 84-1 off 14. They then collapsed to 114-9, before Kenny saw them home with 22*. I picked up 5-21 and found some turn on a green top. Felt confident with an LBW shout on Kenny but Shipston's ump wasn't playing ball  . Good game but it was very hot!
