[SOULMAN1012]

Played yesterday in the league bowled them out for 110 and we chased it down easily. Game was spoilt though by 2 batsmen getting huge nicks through to me and neither walked and there umpire said both just turned. The first was the worst I have seen in 20 years playing.

Today we played Lordswood in a development match. We scored 185 and they won quite easily. They had a Kent 2nd player who played and opened the batting. He was class and scored 70 in 10 overs. Only thing I would say was I don't know development he got smashing 14 and 15 yr olds all over the ground? Still he showed my medium pace respect 

Scored 24no sat and 18 today so not a great weekend run wise

Restricted the oppo to 187 yesterday. A very getable total on a sporting wicket. We were 110 - 2 off 27. Then 123 - 7 off 38. Ended 135 all out. Twice in two weeks weve been cleared out with moderate totals in sight. An ok 34 opening up. Chipped a caught and bowled back to a leggy. 11 weeks earlier I shouldered arms on middle so making progress!

Pretty cheesed off for the 2nd Saturday in 3 we're done in 3 hours including tea - today skittled the opposition for 48 (really enjoyed my 1 ball spell ) on a decent track & 2 weeks ago bowled the opposition out for 70 (28 for 9 they were until the number 10 slogged a few) and knocked it off after 11 overs. Feels very much like a wasted day especially as its not that bad a standard (in theory).

Dropped a catch, bowled 0 overs and got a golden duck. Well worth driving back from Canter Parcs for. Still, we won and my new pads work.

What pads did you get in the end mate?

Got the GM Original gloves and pads from Aswani

Been playing some form of organised cricket since 1974 and on Wednesday night I took my first hat-trick.

Best mate caught the first, my son caught the 2nd and the 3rd was stumped - brilliant feeling even at 50.

Today was my first match for the 1sts since my knee injury in June and I was astounded at how poor my fitness had become in a few weeks and also how poor my batting had become. I had about 10 overs at the end of the innings (in a match that had already got away from us) so could play with freedom and I was struggling to hit it off the square to some fairly gentle bowling. I had some juicy leg stump balls that I just couldn't connect with and was getting more and more frustrated. I saw out the overs but for a very low score. I'm now in the position of debating whether to put in the practice when there is only 3 weeks left of the season or use the time to just get my knee right and work on my fitness.

We were in control yesterday until some cheat with crayola tatts did a Broad to his second ball and hit the cover off it, didn't walk and got 123. Heads went down a bit.

Then, in our reply we were treated to ten overs of right arm chuck and ended up 8 runs short. Crap day really...

(P.s. no league umpires...)

Losing draw chasing 261 yesterday. We ended 208 -8. Was out LBW first ball from right arm round the wicket (im a lefty).
Struggled to see the funny side as the ball was swinging from off to leg so just assumed it wouldnt have hit another set on the angle. Nice of the umpire to say that I took his decision well after the game!

[joeylough]

on 19 felt good for the first time in a while, ran myself out going for a stupid single, sums up my day.

[WalkingWicket37]

62* and hit the winning runs today, finally got that elusive first half century!

THANKS FOR COMING!

[alexhilly1492]
