Selected for Brookhouse first team today. Started the season with a 1 from 7 balls, looked and felt in OK for the first 4 balls but went down hill for the last 3 balls of the innings. Suppose for the first time I have played since 2014 it was to be expected really.

@tomcat210_2  brookhouse, Rotherham?

First game for real today. 1st round  of cup. Against last years league and cup double winners.

I got us off to a good start.



1 game, 1fifty. Not a bad start.


We got 245 all out in the end, and oppo were all out 160. So second round here we come.

First game in 12 years today. Wicket was a dusty pile of **** with bomb holes everywhere, other team were nothing special and I played really poorly. Bowled out for 10 off the ***** bowling I've ever seen (it was the slowest full toss I've ever seen so all my fault) while others were racking up easy 50's, dropped a catch and gave away more extras than I think they got runs off my bowling (and that's not to say they didn't hit runs!). Feel a bit **** but it could be the heat stroke talking as much as anything!

First game for the new club today, we won by 6 wickets. I batted at 6 and ended up with a very scratchy 12no. Didn't middle or time anything

Team lost. I scored a single before being given out lbw, ball hit my thigh pad and I'm 6"5. Best bit was umpire was our opener who was in a foul mood after an early duck. Had a bowl, got out their best bat, 1-25 off 8. Looks like another season in the trenches

I think your opener needs a word in his ear.

Well 6 months of CBF practice not much use today, my mate got dropped the mother of all dollies at second slip on 0 and went on to hammer 64, I got one that turned, bounced and hit the shoulder of my bat on a dry pitch and I was walking back with a single to my name.

That's the game thou!!

Roll on next week

He left straight after the game, barely said a word to anyone after he got out. Have a gut feeling this will be a very trying season for us, just players attitudes after one game. Feel sorry for our skipper and team of volunteers who do a lot of work for the club. Don't have a large squad so can't upset players in case they leave, but things have to change

Only made 14 today before I got bowled by a grubber.

On the bright side I felt good while I was out there, had a strike rate of 155 and hit a bomb that went about 70 meters before a fence halted it's progress!
Must remember to get forward even to shorter balls, it's only April so they won't sit up...

14,s better than forkall
Get that head over the ball

Not the start to my season I had hoped for - nicked off in the 4th over to a very good opening bowler for 5 still an enjoyable day and good to get back into it. we go again next week....

Pleased to say a definite improvement on last week 50 retired from 53 Balls in our friendly match today

Normal day in the office, scratchy 18* as I attempt to dig us out of a hole at 104-7. We got 157-9 but batted poorly. Took 3-19 off 7 as I attempted to dig us out of hole when the oppo were 95-1. Lost by 2 wickets in the end so a good game. Pleased to be playing again but felt pretty ropey with bat and ball.

Happens to the best of us mate, chin up and make sure to hit the next one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk2cH1ApyIY

Also, I actually dreamt my first game of the season last night... Opened the batting, first ball punched one away through midwicket and misjudged it as a certain boundary so only got a single. Opening partner then immediately sells me down the river and I'm run out for one! I think I either need therapy or just to get on with some cricket haha.
