well I went from batting 9 for our 3's to batting 6 for our 1's in a season
I always set myself goals, last year it was to get 500 runs and 1 50. I got 897 runs and 6 50's

[procricket]

as a opener i would want to average around 40-45 in all forms of cricket i suspect i could topple 3000 runs for the season

[Colesy]

For the amount of games I play (46 last season) 1000 would be the ultimate goal for me. Hoping to get a league hundred this yeah, I have bets with the 1st team captain as an incentive

[procricket]

league runs i got to be looking at around 900 in 18 innings is the target need to stop getting out when set around the 70-80 mark

the rest come from representative games an the occasional guest games in jazz hat cricket

the season can not come soon enough for me

[roco]

looking around that myself got 692 in 21 games last season but aiming for 900-1000 this season

[procricket]

with them new pads you can not fail

[roco]

true but has taken me 5yrs to get where i am now as was opening fast bolwer and no.11 bat for a div 4 2nd team but after serious knee injury had to learn to bat now open in a div 1/prem 1st x1

[procricket]

who do you play for roco

[roco]

at the moment play for a team called montgomery as was playing for a different team in the prem but they were all about the click so moved to this team which is a family club

[procricket]

best way mate hate click and travailing around a lot bud as i do if i find a click i just walk

[roco]

yeah it was if your the captains friend you got a bowl and bat where you want but family happy at this one son plays for u11's wife on youth commitee so happy all round

[procricket]

quality bud any club i turn up at i have a sure fire way of finding out what i want.

i go there and tell them i want to bat in top 3 and keep if there is nobody else good enough.

i then tell them that if they have a young keeper i will work on him to either keep or keep when i have left.

i o not mess around at club level it not my main cricket but hate the clicks

[roco]

thats cool well club/minor county level is what i'm at wont go any higher as just a bat might have before the knee as was clocked at 84.7 during a warickshire session at 17 and was told had the potentional to get quicker but couple of months later the knee went so can only bowl medium now but hey we all have our purpose in life

[procricket]

yeah i do not piss around at club level it just a net for the real thing just wish i had that little bit extra at 16 at Lancashire centre of excerllance before the academys came in

[roco]

so what level you play
