In a festival game last week...

We bowled a team out for 140 in about 35 of 42 overs, meaning we get 7 more overs to add to our 38. After an early wicket, we get to 137 for 4, captain on 55*. 3 to win, 6 wickets left, about 15 overs left, what could go wrong...?
Everything. Captain holed out to mid-off, and our hellishy weak tail in. 7 overs later, we were all out for 139... S#@t!!!!!

What team do you play for mate?

Just finished my last colts season with St Matthias and now permanently play for St Peters in the East Sussex league.

Couldnt raise a side for the festival so I had to play for the younger team who still play my age group and we got battered every game.

my best is probably my league debut, i just broke 3 records, youngest player to play in the league, youngest to take a wicket and youngest to hold a catch, batted at 11, was 2 no when we reached our target of 246 or 35 overs with 3 overs to spare

Mine is probably my first ever midweek mens game. 16 overs per side. First time I ever bowled in mens cricket and I bowled 4 overs for 32 runs and 2 wickets. We got down to our number 11 and we needed 2 off our last balls to win and our number 10 chipped it to mid on. Obviously our guys run and while our non-striker is shouting (No Swearing Please), (No Swearing Please), (No Swearing Please)! whilst running the ball has been put down buy the old man at mid on. He thinks he has lost and drops to the floor in embarrasment when our batters turn back for the second run. At this point the mid off sprints over furiously to pick the ball up which is next to the mid on and he gets a direct hit.

Match tied and we lost in a replay which I didn't play in, umpires deemed it to be too dark to have a bowl out lol.

best cricket match ive played in is probably a semi final 3-4 years ago in a semi-final just for pure adrenaline of us bowling and other team needing 5 of the last over
over went .2...1 and we won by 1 run and my dad ran out the player going for the second... was awesome feeling and we went on to win the final my dad got 106 n.o and i got 25 n.o coming in 2 overs left and took 3-0 of 4 deliveries

amazing season that 1

a couple of games for me, both this season, first of all playing for the sunday team we hit 304-4 off 45 overs with 3 players getting 50 and my dad carrying his bat for 87 not out, we then bowled them all out for 83

other game would be a saturday game, we batted first and hit 191 all out then didn't take long to bowl them out for 25!

Best Game Ever...School game
Dorchester Middle vs Highcliffe School

We won the toss and i chose to bat..opening the batting it hit 16 and we were going well before i decided to hit a drive straight back at the bowler oops! we the capitulated from 24-1 to 42 all out in 12 overs!

In the field i decided to stand up to the stumps and they were obviously not aware of the stumping rule...
I cliamed 6 stumpings......however....
needing 2 with one wicket in hand they scamper a single and try to run on a misfield...
the ball was returned and i took the bails off leaving us victors .....

Favorite game/s was a Super 8's tournament and bowled the last 8 ball over with the opposition needing just 5 runs to win, full size pitch with only 8 of us on the field. Took 3 wickets and only went for 2 runs. Followed it up by doing the same in the semi final, 2 wickets and 4 runs in the last over. In the final though lightening would strike 3 thrice but ball went through fielders legs on penultimate delivery to hand victory to opposition.

Playing in a final agianst my old team

( I had left as teenager who would always get dropped when the old guys fancied a game... despite me playing every game before and going to every training and usually doing better!!)

Batted number 6 and scored 30 odd run out, was pretty happy as I had gone the whole season with no ducks in any form of the game. We had 146 from our 40 overs, a below par score we thought.

I took a catch at 2nd slip in the third over and to this day I still dont know how I did it, I just remmember being on the floor with the ball in 1 hand!!

They regrouped and had got half way to the score in less than half the overs when fielding at slip again the keeper lets it go through him... I chase after it and the batsman shouts "Go for 2 its only Kenny!! (he was always crackin jokes so I know thats how it was meant) anyways he ran 2 and I threw it in missed the stumps and cannoned of the keepers pads.. runout!! To this day I still take the piss for the 2 runs comment!

Then as they passed the 100 mark for no further loss my captain in a moment of desperation/genius threw me the ball (my first bowl on a saturday all season). Took a wicket in my first over a chip to mid off bringing in my old captain. A couple of overs passed and not much happened then my former captain hit me for 6. I spoke to my keeper and formulated a plan.

A couple of balls later he advanced down the wicket again... I pinged it down legside (he is left handed I am right handed) he missed it... the keeper was expecting it and obliged with the stumping!

A few more wickets fell and I took the winning catch a skyer with about 15 runs to spare...I still have the ball to this day.

I rejoined the team a few years later and used to remind a few of them of that day!

For me, the best cricket matches are the ones where you have to survive. Say needing 15 runs to win, 5 overs, 1 wicket in hand. I've been in that situation about 3 times, and every single time, my team ended up losing. We have bad luck.
