Not a bad season all things considered. Captained our 1st XI, having been promoted last year, finishing mid table.

Batting: 700 runs at 35                     - Not a bad return for me, but just too legside dominant still, fine in nets, appalling in a game!
Bowling: 43 wickets at 16.16             - Generated some decent pace, and the most league wickets in our club for the last 12 years, so well pleased. Ended the season with quite a few niggles (shoulder, knees & ankle) so enjoying a little rest from bowling at the moment.

Terrible season with the bat, leading wicket taker though so not all bad and I haven't been sacked as skipper yet haha

The club had a great season, bowing out of the Pontefract league as champions! Personally I had another good year with the ball, coming 2nd in the club and league averages to my new-ball partner.

Overs        194.2
Maidens     35
Runs          689
Wickets      48
BB             6/31
5 fors         3
Eco.           3.55
S/R            24.29
Ave           14.35
% Wickets 27.59

Looking forward to a new challenge in the Bradford league structure next season!

Great work @Gelds

Odd season.  Started well,  picked up a shoulder injury and didn't really recover until mid season. Once back it felt like I was taking with wickets for fun 21 @ 14 on Saturday and another 15-20 on Sunday,  mixed between ashorne,  Marlow vets and a couple of games in MK. With the bat I did ok,  averaged 15 but scored more for the vets,  50 and 49 were my highest scores in vets mode.

Highlight of the season was getting promoted and sharing it with my fellow forum members.

Really enjoyed this season which compared the the previous year when I was close to jacking it in is really good. My first year at a new club and we won promotion with 3 games to spare

Played 7 sat league games (play every other week due to family commitments) 6th top run scorer in the league 259 behind first place who played twice as many matches so really happy with my return
Innings 7
Runs 468
Avg 58.6
2 X tons
12 catches
5 stumpings

Sunday
Innings 5
Runs 194
Avg 47.4
0 tons
2 X 50's
7 catches
3 stumpings

Just over 650

Chuffed with how my season went this year! Bowled in a lot of t20 hence why the economy rate isn't down ideally where it should be but that's what happens when you play a lot of cricket.
Broke my clubs record for wickets in a season

Overs        300.5
Maidens     25
Runs          1536
Wickets      75
BB             7/37
5 fors         4
Eco.           5.01
S/R            24.73
Ave            21.04
% Wickets  28.85

Still a lot to go and work on over the winter!

300 overs? (No Swearing Please), most i've seen at out club is 234.

[Stratts]

Decent season in the end, started out in ignominy with a golden duck on my return from a season off, batting at 5 with the score 250/3 off 30 overs when I walked in....

Ended up 1 team higher, playing a few important innings including almost seeing us through a big run chase (out in final over) and invariably batting with the tail most weeks.  What I loved was being the glue that held the innings together, often walking in in a crisis and trying to bat through.  Ended up averaging 30.75 from 18 matches with 2x 50 (highest 62*) which I thought was a decent return considering we ended up relegated.

I've been using my trusty Kook which is 4 years old now, and as it is a lightweight 'touch player' G3 bat at 2.7 it lacks a bit of meat.  Quite often I couldn't quite get the power when playing the big shots (especially off the slow medium and spinners) and I think it's time for a new bat.  Even at 39 I felt this year my technique had changed and I was a lot more attacking but didn't have the willow to match, so I will be getting myself a new weapon for next season.

A good workman never blames his...

Who am I kidding. Of course he does. Good luck on the bat hunt!

[Woodyspin]

Thank God it's over!

2016 never happened - roll on 2017...

We will make a bowler out of you yet Cam! oh wait...

[Northern monkey]

I've had a crap season
Poor umpiring
Stupid gaps in the middle of the season, due to the league not having any brains
Dodgy action bowlers,(his teammates nickname for him is chucker!)
Broke my bat and my finger
And I won't mention our new captains ability or lack of

All meant, I've had enough
I may play for my lads team down at minehead, a few games
Or not
Other than that, I'm loving the unofficial Cbf Southern nets we've been having

Batting wise, I think I averaged 27 or something
I don't think I bowled more than 5 overs

In fact I'm getting peed off just thinking about this season

Roll on next year and pastures new
Anyone need an old slogger that needs hiding in the field ?

Didn't bowl as much as I'd wanted to / haven't bowled so few overs since 2009! My own fault though, I've become less greedy as a captain and don't bowl myself until 3/4 change and even bowled spin on a few occasions. plus being dropped to the 2s pissed me off quite a bit... so let's just build for next year. Playing a lot of racquet sports for the stamina and agility, which I noticed helped a lot!

[Mr_Orange]

Decent season all around, team got promoted and I finished top 10 league batting (447 @ 38) and top 15 bowling (29 @ 20).

Mainly happy with some important knocks though, guiding the team through a couple of games where we were wobbling. Hoping for a strong season next year on and off the field for the club!
