Rather than just having private conversations in the thread...my season is likely to be pretty tough!
After three successive promotions our 1st team are now playing at the highest level we have ever played and unfortunately we have lost one regular 1st teamer and not added anyone of 1st team quality.
On a personal note I have not made much of a contribution in the last couple of seasons having suffered a run of injuries, ill health and a variety crap in my personal life. I've been unable to decide whether to pack in wicket keeping due to a run of broken fingers and have already made it clear to my captain that if he wants me to play in the 1st team he needs to find somebody else to open as I have lost all confidence in the role.

I've made all that sound really negative but despite the challenges ahead I'm really looking forward to the season! With the higher standard comes some new grounds that I have never played at and as a club we are busy with applications for new net facilities and the possibility of a new and extended pavilion. It's also my last hurrah as club secretary having made the club aware of my intention to step down at our last AGM. Feel it's time to get back to actually enjoying the great game!


Oehw sassy,

Its difficult when one of the team leaves to find anyone to fill their place as they won't be part of the team straight away. But only time will tell maybe someone will step up! 
I understand how you feel with all the drama around cricket, it's so difficult especially with things you can't control.
Your captain has the Confidence in you, he has your back. Maybe he could help you find your confidence back, maybe a number 3 to get bat on ball and them slowly work back up??

Just seriously never forget to enjoy the game how ever rough and harsh it can be.

Having lost nearly 5 stone since last season I'm hoping for a good one. Finally back bowling well. Seem to be able to bowl a googly again. And batting I feel as if I have a lot more time at the crease. So hopefully see a good 3-400 runs and a good amount of wickets. Bring n the 23rd of April  :)

EDIT also been cycling over 70 miles a week so the fitness is improved massively. No more bashing boundaries. Play the field and poke the gaps

Well done wilkie!  Should be very proud of yourself!
Keep me updated on how you go on!!

HAHAHA can I join in with that? It sounds like fun!!

Of course! I'll teach you how to leave like a Pro. Nobody shoulders arms as gracefully as myself. Hitting the ball is so overrated  :D

First season at my new club proper, looking forward to nailing a top 4 batting spot bat long score big is my aim, on,yo play alternate weeks so would like 600 league runs and 35 dismissals behind the stumps would be a great season. After last season anything wil be a bonus as hated cricket last year until I went back to my old club for last 5 games but 200mile round trip not viable all season so joint club I played T20 for lady year.
Been netting very well so looking good

Seen my specialist today, lumbar decompression surgery scheduled in 3 months, so this season is a no go. Season of heckling my best mate/opening partner, will make us both feel better about it! :D

Not great but I hope everything works out well. I'm sure you'll be the first time volunteer for scoring and drinks duty each week? 😂

Jealous of people playing this early in the year, our pitch is miles away from being ready still!

Hopefully my coming season will improve due to listening. Back to basics and I hope the rest will follow.

Listening to what I've been told and what I'm telling myself.

Focus on that bowling hand.
Move head, feet will follow.
Don't over hit.

Don't over think the run up.
Stay upright, don't slide away.
Don't over force the delivery.

Work on the upper body so I'm not forcing the throw-ins.
Know that doing the basics well will take care of the rest.
Enjoy the lovely cricket gear I've bought thanks to the forum.

First outdoor nets today. Absolute Quagmire. No batting practice, just fielding practice. Good laugh though, ruined my training kit diving around the swampy outfield.

Roll on Next Saturday! 😅
