Frustrating few games recently. Last two knock out games I've gone wicket less for 40 off my four 8 ball overs but have been a threat and created chances that weren't taken. Feeling in good touch with the bat as well and stuck at number nine yesterday so didn't get in. To put it into perspective, when I play at the same level in the East Sussex League I bat in the top five and average 30+.
Yesterday bowled my 15 overs, 15/4/59/2. Wickets were a bowled, outside leg to top of off, and an lbw to a top spinner that the bloke walked across. Our 290/6 was under no threat until a big bloke wandered in and hit his first two balls into the polo pitch behind the bowler (I'd been brought off by now). Ended up having two overs late on against the big chap, and these cost 12 and about 20. When he holed out they collapsed, keeper dropped a catch that would have been the skippers hat trick, and their last pair survived the last two overs to give us a winning draw.
Ive decided that this will be my last season at Chalfont though. I've been at the club since I was eight, have been playing league cricket for nine years, but have never been given a fair crack of the whip with the bat coming in with my reputation for quick runs in the colts. I am looking to step up a couple of levels, oppo ump yesterday said I should be, our keeper thinks I should be and
@edynamo (Ross has been coaching me since last season, huge improvements) and I agree it's best for kicking on.
