Bat a bit. Bowl a bit. Not too bad at point either!

More dismissals, missed about 5 glaring stumping chances this year, some were genuinely awful! Still claimed over 50 victims but would like to reduce the number of cock ups

Another ton would be nice, but my first two innings were 50's this year, and my only other 50+ score in approx 60 games was my late season 162 not out, so I would like to have another good start but build on it.

Win another midweek T20 cup. Pink balls, flashing bails, large midweek crowds, beers, bbq, music/PA - it's great fun.

This was my first season of senior cricket where (despite being a wicket keeper and a terrible bowler when on tour or a very occasional Sunday) I failed to take a wicket. Need to put that right in 2016

You miss a stumping off me and there will be all sorts of trouble @Vitas Cricket , I'm still on angry terms with a young keeper at the old club who missed a stumping which cost 100 runs......

At least 3 50s. Over 400 runs in the season and continue my catching form in the outfield.

Nail down a consistent role in the team after being messed around batting/bowling all over the place for the last two seasons
Train hard and improve my bowling action to regain some lost top-end pace
700 runs in all cricket (realistic aim after 530 last year from mixed season), ton up, see more knocks through to the end
40 wickets in all cricket (40 last year but league rule changes mean less overs this year so tough target. Settle for keeping strike rate under 20 and average around the same as my 13 for the last two seasons since moving clubs)
Go undefeated as midweek captain.

1000 League runs, win a few cups, teams more than capable just under performed a little when its counted in recent years.
Start bowling a bit more again even if its in cup games.
500+ runs for University, couple of trophies would be nice as well!

First job is to sort a bat, and then not to break it.

First time this winter I've finally got to the gym, so hopefully I can hit the ball a little harder and fit in my whites?

Will try and be not out a little more,(I throw my wicket away way to easily)

Ultimately I want 1000 league runs, not bothered about 50,s or tons, but would like to put the team in a position that I can score a few early and retire and let the rest of the team have a bat.( most teams struggle to score much over 150 to our bowling)

Well I'm moving to the USA so my first target is to find a club and see what the standard is out there, I'm hoping it'll be poor enough for me to be able to play!!!

After that try and get some runs and turn myself into a top class off spinner -for top class read 'no more than 2 full tosses and 2 long hops per over'.  The catching could also do with a bit of help, I'm pretty good at the reflex catching close in but under a high ball with time to think I'm probably 50/50.

Is it really only November

:(

PS - thanks to @i12breakfree for the info about the USA and the kind offer of help.

'no more than 2 full tosses and 2 long hops per over' makes you eligible for England right now!

If you're a middle order player you'll get to open the batting too as the spinning all rounder!  ;)
