Made the conversion from an offie who bats a bit at 6, 7, 8 to opening bat who bowls a bit of a part time stuff last year, averaged high 20's and made 4 50's so hoping to improve on that, especially giving it away once set, getting past 50 four times and past 75 none isn't good enough, especially as we lost two of those games.

Have had issues with my hip and fingers that have stopped me bowling much at training so hopefully the work done on that over the winter will pay dividends and i can go back to being a frontline bowler also.

Aiming for 600 runs including at least one ton, and 20 wickets.

I wish we all could just go from a bowler to openings bat.. like it's nothing hahaha.  What's the problem with the hip and fingers?

Both out regular openers had second kids and vanished for half the season, I'd have zero chance opening the batting on wet Scottish wickets but over here on Astro with the white ball it's mines easier, ball moves for maybe an over or 5 and then it's fill your boots.

Fingers is some sort of joint stiffness (doctor doesn't know what yet), which isn't ideal for a finger spinner, hips just old age I think!

@Kulli  haha so a lucky break for you, proved yourself and ready to nail it this season.
Stiffness in the joints, have you seen a physio?  Is it like a painful stiffness of more like it feels like it tired?
Do enough exercise and stretching(and drinking water I know I know) but that should help the hip slightly. Often the hip cartilage need's "oiling" but that's what happens by moving it around. BECOME LIKE SHAKIRA AND ALL YOUR PROBLEMS FADE AWAY.

Yup, gotta take those chances when they come.

It's pretty painful when I stretch my fingers to hold the ball, have seen the doctor, possibility it's the onset of some sort of join issues.

Physio thinks hip issues were caused by my body compensating for previous problems, but I'll not clog the season goals thread up anymore with my list of ailments.

On a personal note would be fun to hang onto the batting and bowling awards for the 1st team (being only 3rd person in the 130 year history to win both in a single season) and win league player of the year as was robbed last year even though I was in the team of the year. Hopefully the 6am runs will help this ( @petehosk keeps telling me its good for you but I don't see it yet)

But mainly to carry on my role of bringing the youngsters through and helping them develop as that's my main aim now I don't play any minor county stuff (far too old for that now), quite happy moving from slip to mid on/off to help the young bowlers during the game with plans and calming them down at times

Turn good looking net sessions into runs in the middle

Take wickets

Don't drop catches

I'm starting this season playing for a new side, I've felt good netting and even my bowling has been better than it normally is.

I'm not sure where I'm going to fit in with regards to batting, I'd love to open as I prefer the ball coming on to the bat and the field in. Not top fussed for bowling as I've only bowled 1 over in the last few years although I did take a wicket in it!

From a team point of view they've been a bit of a yoyo team over the last few seasons and would have been relegated at the end of last year if it hadn't been for a league reshuffle so I think a successful relegation fight is the minimum requirement. I'll also be playing my old team and although I left on very good terms I'm kinda dreading playing them!

My team have just joined the Herts League and we've been put into the very bottom tier. I'm not expecting cricket of any quality, but it won't be any different to the last couple of years of terrible Saturday friendly cricket that we've been accustomed to.

@thecord Dave Sims? Our keeper. I've taken control of the midweek by the way, think you'll be about for the t20 at yours this year?
Should have mentioned that in goals for the season actually - I'm undefeated in games I've captained for my current club, only got 3 midweek games to play but looking to keep the record going.

Started off netting better than I ever have but haven't been able to net for weeks now (various reasons) - add that in to moving to a different area of the country part way through a season I don't think it's going to go too well!

I play as an all rounder but since taking captaincy my batting has fallen off a bit but I was happy with my bowling last season (mix of medium pace and offies), main aim this season is to be more successful with the bat and get my average back into the high 20's early 30's as it was only about 18/19 last season!

Actually scratch all that, my only goal for the season is to clean bowl @liscon12 and then hit him for the biggest six Cumbria has ever seen when he comes on to bowl  :D

Joined a club as a player this season but have a played with a few  of the players previously and was treasurer  before the clubs merged i  was already a committee  member. Signed for the club as I missed  playing on the 3rd and 4th team ground its a ground that i have played on since a schoolboy and have happy memories
Hopefully I'll be fit to play for the 4 ths but if not I'll be at the ground helping out on match day.
