Rather than thinking about what you haven't done, why not thing about what you have achieved - have you won or saved matches for your team?

Sometimes a catch or a run out can start a collapse that you caused. 

If you always think about the things you haven't done, you wont enjoy your achievements. change your outlook and maybe that positive thinking will help you get over the every moving line...

Like Nick's batting in the AOC match...?

49* Didn't feel too bad though as the other team accused me of being a ringer as I won us the game, despite the fact it was the 5th time I played against them in 2 years!
4 catches at cover (no drops though)

I've also helped someone get to a significant landmark.

When keeping had a stumped and a caught behind for our skipper who got all 10 wickets!

Human nature, the list will go on and on. So be proud and happy with what you have.

I've had a couple of 5 fors but am missing that elusive ton. I'd have to get it inboundaries mind, don't think I'll be running much between the stumps!

Thankfully I've made a hundred or two now, but at the stage when I hadn't I made 95 and got caught by my brother who was a fill in fielder.

And being on 93* with 2 balls left, hitting the 2nd last for six and missing the last one was a highlight for me....sore one!

72 is my top score too - had two other 50's in the same season but none in the last 2 years. A few 40's but I doubt I'll ever score a ton as I play too much cross line and have little patience, but you never know.

Had a few 5 wickets when I was younger, one alongside 5 catches and a golden duck on my uni debut. Been on 2 in 2 balls once I think but missed the hat trick.

Mine is more annoying for the fact so many people rate my technique as the best they've seen for my standard! Just goes to show technique and runs don't always go hand in hand

I've only had one Michelle in my life, but loads of fourfers and a couple of hat tricks. I have on numerous occasions bunged an end up taking few wickets for few runs, while the guy at the other end gets the Michelle... Very frustrating!
