First Game of the Season!
« on: April 20, 2013, 10:10:11 AM »
Weather is lovely here in sunny Yorkshire!

Who is playing thier first game today? Our second team match has been called off already as the other side couldnt put a team out, and have announced that they won't be putting one out for the rest of the season. Not sure what will happen with points there.

I've had a mixed winter nets so really looking forward to getting out into the middle and playing on some actual turf! Hopefully the wicket won't be too wet but I'm expecting a slow track and low bounce...

Good luck to everyone if it's thier first game!

Very nice here in Sheffield, gutted that I can't play today.

Where are you in Yorkshire?

Got our first game today - interclub friendly where we mix up the 1st and 2nd team. Usually swap the bowlers from 1sts to 2nds and it works quite well, but have only managed to muster up 18 players between both teams.

Hopefully availability will improve for the first league game next week, but should be a good day - weather is certainly a nice change.

I have to wait another week.

Hopefully we have good weather next Saturday as we don't start until then

After doing outdoor nets in Baltic temps one week and gale force winds the next its a shame we could not make a start on such a good day.

First game tomorrow, just hope the lack of being able to net over the last couple of weeks doesn't hold me back.

Bit of an underachievement then... It's only proper if it's a 5fer and a 100 ;)

Had my first proper game today, first thing I will say to all you guts with nice new bats please ensure your oppo provide decent balls! 4 broken bats today, 2 split completely and there bats were on the second season, bloody ball sounded like hitting a plastic pipe on a concrete wall when they bowled. £600 worth of smashed willow today including one of mine, although mine is easily repairable.

We used a readers and it was fine when they batted.

Any way only scored 16 but all 4's and then took 4 catches behind the stumps so not a bad start to the season from a keeping point of view, got to remember not to shoulder arms to an inswinger :(

Unlike the superstars...

Opened, got 4 off 4 balls :(

Up side !! The 4 was a beautiful on drive so my Blueroom has a stonkingly good middle as I just leaned on it.

Oh well, tomorrow can only be better (I hope)
