The deadliest spell you have bowled?
« on: July 08, 2013, 07:52:22 AM »

Just had a weekend game and probably bowled the deadliest spell ( from a personal point of view) of this season ( 4 overs-6 runs- 2 wickets). Should have had 3 but had 1 catch dropped at slips.

The best part was got the leading MVP of Div2 SM 40 Finland clean bowled after setting him up nicely with 2 in swingers, a bouncer and a perfect outswinger to take his off stump. So thrilled about it!!! From there on their team never recovered and posted a meager total of 116 in 36 overs which we got in 13 overs.

Got great bounce, swing and more importantly outswing going. So chuffed about my performance :D

5.3 overs, 4-6. The six runs were an edge for four and two wides. All four wickets were bowled or lbw.

Every spell I bowl could be deemed 'deadly'.

Personally I'm crap but my lad bowled 2-1-7-4 other day and his 5th wicket was called no ball

Depends what you mean by deadly. I always thought my deadliest spell was when I walked three batsmen, breaking two toes and a nose. Okay, they weren't wickets, but they couldn't continue playing.

Yesterday i was on fire. First 3 overs were maidens including a stump out the ground about 2 metres back. The only runs to come off we me was edges and a dropped catch. 6-3-9-2 bowling seam up when I'm normally a " spinner"

That's awesome Tim...

Dunno about deadliest in terms of hurting batsmen but have got two 8 wicket hauls, one 8-16 from 8 overs the other 8-20 from 9. Have a 7-21 from 10 in a state titles game too that was fun. Think some of my deadliest spells have come in the nets hitting the thighs of my own team - sorry boys!

8-12 off 12 (including 4 byes the ump unfairly wided me for) - Won the Crawley Observer Bowling Award in 2000 for it
9.3-2-15-6 including a hat trick - http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/headingleycricketclub/s/match-statistics-12702.html?fixture_id=134183&official=0
6-4-3-5 - all 5 bowled and the skipper had the nerve to yank me off! - http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/headingleycricketclub/s/match-statistics-48126.html?fixture_id=447425&official=1

First 2 performances were seam up and last one bowling spin. Goes to show if you play enough cricket then eventually every dog has it's day lol

Also, don't know if this is deadly but certainly my best bowling performances recently. Everything I did went right on the these occasions. I've bowled just as well on many occasion, but never been as lucky. Unfortunately, my luck didn't follow on to winning the lottery either night ! 18.3-10-33-9

Played a T20 semi final last week and bowled pretty well. Once again though, everything went my way. 4-0-19-5

I'm always curious when one guy bowls so well and others don't appear to. I know when I took 8-12 I was the only one who swung the ball all day on a flat deck. I took 8-22 in one league game at Windsor because the sun was setting behind my left arm over and the last 4 bats couldn't see it lol
