[Number 11]

My highlight was a team effort, first game of our tour around Hunstanton.
First time we scored 300+ and the the first time the oppo were taken for 300+  Was a 40 over friendly, they were shellshocked.

Best season in my fourth ever season. Great weather and scored just over 2000 runs (well, they are the only ones on play cricket anyway).


Highlights
Realising I actually am good and enjoy opening he batting
Scoring a league ton in my first competitive game as opener
Scoring over 600 Saturday league runs for my new club as opener
Proving people who had written me off as not as good as x wrong by out classing them by a mile
Winning the county t20 competition
Winning the national civil service competition and being identified as the 'danger man' ! Was quite amusing
Putting on an opening stand of 215 in 33 overs to relegate a team of cocky buggers was great fun while my dad watched, of course when I got out he just had a go at me for the bad bits


All in all, I used quality kit, brilliant weather, and scored bucket loads of runs. Very enjoyable season and one to build on. Ended up,with 15 50's and 4 100's but probably should have been 12 50's and 7 100's really

Our awards night is on Saturday, but out of the 9 available trophies I've been short listed for 7

My best moments were the ones when I was involved in the final outs of games - notably executing a perfect rundown to beat Harrogate tigers in our first game of the year, and then making an out from third base, throwing out the runner at 1st to beat Manchester (having been swept by Manchester in the corresponding fixture earlier in the year). I also made the out at home plate to beat Halton, a team in the division above us.

Right I'm going to be all sentimental here - which will invite huge waves of ridicule (Saunders, put your pie down and pay attention!).

The highlight of my season was deciding not to pack it all in. By mid August I'd thrown all the toys out of the pram, sold off most of the kit and contemplating hours spent on Saturdays doing DIY, fondling myself and compulsive eating. I was in a bad mood and not fun to be around.

A long chat with our colts manager about running the development team and a metaphorical smack round the back of the head from him, I decided to give it another go, and I'm looking forward to any winter nets I can get.

Playing cricket is a bit like buying kit off this forum - it's addictive and you just can't quite give it up!!!!

Glad to hear you are staying in the game, that trumps all my highlights my a country mile. Good decision
