Sides from council estates tend to be really bad in my experience.

Not to say all people from council estates are bad, I'm sure there are bad teams in affluent areas.

We could have a whole seperate discussion about the morality of deliberately pulling the next ball right at him...

That's what I tend to do to short silly type positions anyway, just middle it at them. Put a guy in hospital a few weeks ago (obviously you never actually want to hurt people, just get them to shift), but I did warn him not to stand there but he insisted he was good enough to do it without a helmet, box or shin guards... 3rd ball into the game I went back, pulled it straight into the deck and it bounced up, middled his forhead and he was out cold before he hit the deck. Luckily he came around a few mins later, ambulance came and we carried on.

That said if someone crosses the line they deserve everything they get. Most people who give it aren't able to take it... including one guy a few years ago who learnt the hard way that our opening batsmen was a kickboxer.

perfect response to 'banter'.. Bet they won't do it again and will just get on with playing the game!.

That's just it, most of my friends who still
Play cricket have other priorities in life. This particular one would rather miss a
Season of cricket then to take crap from some fowl mouthed so and so... As said keep it light, a laugh and a joke but these same people wouldn't expect to abuse someone on the street and get away with it, why is a cricket field any different?!

some people think that being on a sports field enables them to get away with things 'in the name of sport'. Sad but true. Footbally I found was worse, the fact people kicked and hacked you with no chance of getting the ball, elbows etc etc.. when you called them on it you got 'it's a mans game' 'it's football, deal with it'.... Which tbh is utter rubbish, if you were playing the sport you wouldn't need to resort to such tactics.

We have a couple of teams that we have problems with every year, its all a bit daft really given how low the standard is. There's usually 4 or 5 gobby lads on each of these teams and a few that are a bit embarrassed and try to keep the peace like I do.

A few words when I'm batting doesn't worry me too much, I quite like to talk to the fielding side as I like to have a laugh with them - I usually get the cycling helmet comments when I wear my come out wearing my ayrtek. If they say I'm rubbish I just agree, anything more personal and I might reply but only after I've done enough to warrant it. One bloke who always chirps up had a go at me when I missed a reverse sweep off his bowling, I pointed out that I'd already got 50 and had tw@tted his bowling all over the show - even their lads laughed and agreed.

Compared to a lot of the flak I had playing against better players in the northern leagues when I was a kid its silly, just annoys me as I like to play cricket for fun and playing against a decent set of lads helps a lot.

Ventnor from the Isle of Wight were wonderful when I was making my 3rd XI debut at 14. I was batting at 9 and they were convinced I'd nicked one (I'd got nowhere near it).

difficult that isn't it - two intractable positions - they say you hit it you say you didn't, and ne'er the twain shall meet. I can see why, especially with the increased frequency of player umpires, you might get some stick!

Oppo player from Cookhill told me after I'd missed one that I was Sh** and that someone best put a bell in it so I could hear it coming. Next ball I hit it straight past him for 4 into the bushes where I said to him I hope someone had put a light on it so he could see it!

I don't see the point on giving lip unless you're actually good enough to back it up, few rarely are

Cookhill's skipper kept chirping me with the normal "big shot coming", "everybody get in closer" etc etc. Pretty pointless really as there was never a big shot coming and I like players close in as it gives me a better chance of hitting it past them. Got to the point that when he said "get closer in", I joined in with "yes get as close as you like" - nobody was rushing to do it.

Can't believe you got chirped Kenny. Not 100% accurate was it. You're only s**t against left arm spinners and they don't have any

I got a bit of chirp last season (good natured tbh) apparently I was outstaying my welcome. I said to the keeper, who as usual was the most verbal: 'for gods sake get someone decent on. I can't be doing with all this running up and down at my age.'
