Last coupla games at the end of this season, I stopped asking for a guard.
The first time, there was a huge trench that wound me up beyond belief, I just couldn't bring myself to ask for a guard, and the second time, I just thought sod it, might confuse the oppos into thinking I couldn't bat,,,,hmmm,
My guards always been rubbish, I've always taken middle and kindly left all my stumps on view, batting a foot outside leg

It is a very very annoying habit for batsmen to dig trenches, always baffled me a bit as to why they feel the need, but hey ho

Excessive appealing, boardering on cheating every time ball passes the bat or hits a pad screaming for a wicket.

Crap teas - we put on a full spread hot and cold foods, cakes, pastries sweet and savoury and hate it when you rock up with a sandwich each and a pack of good knows what crisps and that’s tea.

Trousers tucked into socks just looks crap

People who say everything is village

People who moan about whats happening but will not do the job themselves.

This thing about keepers needing long sleeve tops.

This is my biggest pet peeve, few years back I was organising new playing shirts for example and everybody is messaging every day "when are the new shirts coming" "have you not sorted the new kit yet" when not one other person offers to help. All the jobs get left to the same few people and I don't know why I let it get me mad because it happens every year and has done since the dawn of time.

Not a trench digger, but do like to mark a long guard with a single spike, mostly because - as like Edge- I like to use the crease a lot when batting and saves asking for a new guard every time you adjust your position. also saves remarking it because some teammate has trampled all over it or bashed it to pieces marking his guard with the toe of his bat.

Cherries, dings or a riding grip.

These things should all be removed/sorted as soon as possible. If I see anyone using a bat with a badly applied grip I assume they're a savage...

Players who take the field with grass stains on there whites dirty pads gloves and scruffy kit.

You guys would have an aneurysm if you saw the state of my kit  :D

Players who say they can't afford there match fee then sink six pints in the the bar.

Guys who keep getting there/their wrong. Sure sign that they don't know what they're talking about.

PLEASE READ THIS AS A RANT!!!!!

With my groundsman's hat on, I hate batsmen who come out to bat and scratch a 3 foot long mark when taking guard.  As I spend the following Monday filling 8 Bl**dy holes, which take hours, and for what. They see some superstar do it on TV and think "Ow that will make me a better player, just like him", No it will not.  Why does any of them need a 3 foot scratch mark to know where there guard is, most of them are not out there long enough to use the damn mark?  What will make them a better player is to watch the BALL

In addition to having the scruffiest looking bats, with cherries and dirt on the willow, a grip that doesn't quite fit properly and enough fibreglass tape wrapped around the toe to make it bulletproof, I will finish my triggering of the CBF crew by telling you that I have never marked my guard in my life.

You are the closest person to the stumps, just pick one and stand in front of it you numpties.

People that take the game far too seriously when playing and resort to abuse and insulting of opponents/teammates....

Nothing wrong with marking your guard knowing where your off stump is giving yourself an opportunity to protect them  and score  runs for  your team.
Players that can't be bothered usually don't stay at the crease long and  aren't very good cricketers.

Not always. Looks can be deceiving!
I've seen a bloke with the scruffiest kit going walk out, not bother with a guard and blitz a chanceless hundred off 50 odd balls.
Equally I've seen a lot of players go out in their fully matching kit looking the part, who actually spend longer marking their guard than they do batting during their innings...

Your right  Cam looks can be deceiving and yes you can  blitz an hundred without a guard but  you fail more times than succeed also many that bat without taking guard don't have a defence without one  or if they can't be bothered don't long term make  very good batters

You don't need to make a mark in the ground to know that you're standing in front off middle stump.

Anyone who understands batting will tell you marking a mark is not  just about knowing your standing in front of middle off or leg stump.( off or leg stump is either side of middle).
