Nothing less than to be leading wicket taker in the league, 200 runs from the tail (violently) and to eat an entire Swiss-roll without using my hands at tea.

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

LADIES AND GENTS WE GOT A SHOW OFF OVER HERE. Haha haha jokes rocco .

Keep up the hard and good work! You got this!!!

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I need some comfort as oldest or 2nd oldest in team now

Even local paper put me in as veteran 😡😡😡😡😡😡

You'll get back up though I've seen the vids of you playing

You actually know which end of the bat to hold and that's cheating

First season as a vice-skip and still one of the youngest in the team at 22; aiming for minimal drops behind the sticks and a ton would be nice, bout time I scored another.

HAHAH before I stopped I got told I was a vet at 20. Don't worry old man, if you still kick ass who cares what they call you at least they're talking.

Depends on how the body holds up. Thursday will be my first training session in nearly 2 years.
Just hope the knees and ankles don't go all weird again.

Nice it's so much fun to be the youngest and impress the older lot who expect you be a little kid. Hahaha

Tallest and the youngest, it's a great combination. My techniques got so lazy when batting over the past few years, determined to get in back to where it used to be!! Need to spend some time with a coach to get scoring tons again!!

1. Break "Highest number of balls taken to get off the mark" award (40ish?)
2. Get boo'd by own team
3. Get dropped to 11
4. Break "Highest number of balls taken to get off the mark" award again.

Should have that cracked by May.

The team I play in had an average age of 20-something last season, we were definitely a fielding side compared to some opponents who had "seen it all before"

That said, there's no better sight in club cricket than the 70-odd year old 'slow bowler', who can't bat and has to be hidden in the field, tieing the opposition in knots and taking (at least) 3 fer nothing every week.

Used to be a middle order bat, got promoted to opening slot. Had couple of decent seasons but, last season has been horrible.
1) be consistent in middle order
2) move back top opening slot
3) break all my asian made bats and get UK made bats :)

Come out to bat... 'which way is he turning it mate, it doing much?' ... 'er, he's not bowling spin, just play straight'

Going back to my old club after trying somewhere else for a year, so I will most likely start in the 4th xi. Therefore I shall hope to be into the 3rd xi by the end of may, and would like to actually take some wickets opening the bowling rather than havemy first 6 overs 0-10 every week. Granted the economy is good but that's because in the lower  divisions they just see off any bowler that could potentially cause a problem.
Batting wise I'm looking to get promoted to about 7, and finally get a 50!
