What league do you play in? That's a lot of overs in a day more then a test match what time do you start?

Team batting first have 66 overs, batting second get 54. (If bowled out, overs left go to team batting second)
Last hour starts when 17 overs to go, where a minimum of 17 then has to be bowled!
Start time 11, lunch 13.15 & tea at 17.00

= Long days.

As I'm injured I was on scorebook duty again, went out just before 1, game called off (no result) at 6, car still at the ground and I've just got home. Think I might have some explaining to do later...

Yesterday was my last Saturday game of the season due to work commitments.   Ended well personally with 54 off 39 balls

Not a bad way to finish your season then hey! Congrats - Did you find a bat in the end after your Kook broke?

Very frustrating day yesterday. We're top of the league and lost for the first time last week. This week we were up against a decent side who were relegated from our top division last year but rain was forecast from 7 onwards. Our stand in skipper made the wrong call and batted first - should have bowled to give us a chance of finishing early with a win before the rain, especially as the second place team were playing a weaker side.

We then opened with a guy who normally bats 7 which is absolutely the right place for him to hit the bowlers in the later overs. He played a cut to second slip first ball to leave us 1 for 1. Against the best attack we've faced we were about 60 for 4 and in similar situations last year had collapsed a number of times. I batted 6 and put on 70 or so with our number 3 until I chipped a spinner to midwicket. Really annoyed to get out but pleased with 39 as this week and last I've batted more sensibly than usual and avoided too many wild swings and cross line shots.

We ended up 218 for 8 off our 44 after our number 9 who hits the balls miles got 45 not out and outlet number 10 scored a few. Due to the oppo losing 5 balls in the undergrowth around the ground we didn't finish batting until 5 ish.

They made a decent start and were 75 for 2 off 22 needing 144 off 22 to win with their number 4 who is near the top of the league averages still there when the rain started and the game was abandoned.

The guy who got out first ball bowled a few overs of pace then for some reason our skipper let him try spin, 6 balls later we'd gifted them 12 runs. Pretty poor captaincy cost us yesterday but at least in our league we keep the bonus points from our batting when it was abandoned.

it was 3rd vs 4th today (we being 3rd) we didn't start well and our two openers and best batters were out cheaply. I got in and managed to get exactly 100* and we finished for 261 off our 45 overs. We then went out to field and i kept. Took 2 stumpings (one being leg side) and 2 catches, one standing up to the spinner and another being a full length dive to my right. Definitely my best day of cricket ever and being only 14 hopefully more days like this to come. To make matters even better, 2nd beat 1st in the league so we are now second and only one point behind the leaders.

played a 3's game today and took 1-20 of 6 then got 6 batting, but there opening bowler took 5 in third team cricket bowling what I can only describe as rapid. He was dropped from open bowling from 1's to 2's then to 3's but F me he was easily bowling late 70's early 80's he bounced me and I didn't see it until it was in keepers gloves got out to a ball that nipped back next ball. In my opinion what's the point in this guy bowling off his full length run up and bowling very quick against genuine 3rd teamers who play for fun, and then giving batsmen send offs. seems pointless to me.

After a miserable performance from me last Saturday I was asked to play for the 2nds and not the 3rds, a total surprise.

I was nervous that the standard was going to be significantly better but in fact it was worse due to selection problems for the opposition.

We bowled them out for 68 and I was asked to bat at 3. We were cruising at 50 without loss when we lost a wicket so I ended up having to bat. In my first over I faced the slowest bowler I have ever faced and hit him for two fours. The other bowler was much better and I found myself facing the first bowler at the start of the next over with us requiring 2 to win. His first delivery was so juicy I took a big swing to leg but ended up missing and turned back and caught the leg stump with my trailing leg. So I did not last until the end which was two balls later but I was happy to get to 10 and play a part in our win.

he bounced me and I didn't see it until it was in keepers gloves

Were you perhaps facing the keeper in your stance?

On a serious note i can only assume they were desperate to win so brought him in to play your team? Send offs with no history or animosity i guess are pointless especially if everyone is there purely for the game and social as much as anything else
