My aim is to be known as the guy that "plays the reverse scoop too much"




But seriously last year I opened, scored 4 50's in first 5 games then did not a lot so ended up down at 6/7 with an average of 30 for the season.

I've been confirmed as opener for the first few games again, so maybe I'll be happy to still be opening come September and average 30 again.



Oh and midweek I want my Third career ton! Will be 3 years since my last one. Should have had one since but oppo didn't score enough runs in the first innings(81 of 34balls chasing 120)

nice, what changed compared to the first few games? if you can do it in the first games you can do it in the last.

A team that picks on performance? Never. You're telling me that because you've opened you don't get to open all season, regardless of getting out for less than 10 for the exact same shot 4 games in a row? or because you're the skippers mate?

You're having me on.

Amusingly I am the skippers mate and would have stayed there all season, but I asked for a lower spot to get my form back, and my replacement took his chance and we left as is.

He is off to tour Peru all summer, and the other opener has just broke his hand.

Me and the newly promoted ex second team skipper now get the job. I'm on hols for game 3, so hopefully do enough in games 1 and 2 to go straight back up there game 4.
Or just throw a massive tantrum.

Exactly what i'm going to do this year! must have been brought on a few time last year with out skipper saying "Bowl 3/4 of your slowies this over", "Give him the chin music, mate", "how quick do you feel today?" or the best one has been "throw down some leggies mate and i'll stump him" this one actually worked though... done him with a googly! Scenes!

good! my coach always told me. anyone could trick a batsman but only a real bowler can control him. i prefer 6dots to 1 wicket.  Make sure you're confident and feel calm dont try to hard cause it wont go right.

I'm batting really well, positive movements to pace and using my feet well to the spinners... shame as soon as soon as I get onto grass that will no doubt go down the drain

Another point is im still not exactly sure who I want to play for this season with only two/three weeks to go til the season...

[LeonieKelly18]

Hopefully with the few new signings we have made, I'll get back to the seconds! At least there I'll get a spot in the top 5 to accrue some runs rather than batting 9/10/Jack in the 1's

Nice, get some enjoyable cricket in! im hopefully/maybe doing the same. just going for the game.

just remind yourself how you feel now and dont over think it. relax when you get onto the pitch and know what you can do.

bleedin eck you lot get that long to choose?

Positive words, thanks @LeonieKelly18 i'll keep those in my head

Being up north means i'll probably have even longer than that with the weather unfortunately.

Best of luck to everyone for their seasons!

I always enjoy it, regardless! my competitive streak sometimes gets the better of me though and wants some batting partners that don't leave me stranded as the last man!

Most important thing for me is just playing, really. Assume I'll start fairly low down the order and if I get a useful score or two shift a spot or two up.
