Lost to Eversley 1�s in Thames Valley division 2a.
Scored a painstaking 56 off 100 balls. Mainly through third man and square leg!

got our first win sat after 2 poor losses, bowled out opposition for 153, chased them in 23 - 2 down - which was good and a few people who had failed/struggled in the first two games bowled, batted and fielded well - so a happy saturday - sunday = i injured my arm batting - either bicep pull or tendon damage playing in a rubbish nomadic friendly - even had to go back in and bat one handed as we limped to a low total - so unhappy sunday!!!!
going to the docs tomorrow hopefully to be told it is a slight strain and only miss 1 league game

Won again Saturday. Got 306/8 off our 50, contributed a run a ball 1 not out, before 10/0/54/1. Missed a caught and bowled low to my right, had a bat dropped by the keeper and a couple of edges that would have gone straight to slip. Their skipper played the best knock I've seen for a long time and got 160 of their 275/9. Got a t20 Tuesday where I'm likely playing as a batsman, but also planning on seeing a doctor about my back as I'm taking unhealthy amounts of painkillers to bowl.

Great start to Sunday friendly cricket today.

Filled in for @Number 11 and what a good day it was. We unfortunately lost, but was very fun.

They batted first and their 2 openers applied themselves well, scored maybe 160 odd between them with one guy getting a ton and the other just falling short.

Fielding wise I affected a run out and took a good catch on the fence.

Our turn to bat and I felt very good. Have been feeling really good for a while but the results haven't followed. Anyway, batted for 32 overs for 112 including 6 6s and 8 4s on a track that actually wasn't easy at all. I unfortunately couldn't see us over the line but was nice to spend some time in the middle.

@LEACHY48 That was an outstanding catch mate.
The power and timing of your batting was a joy to watch and it was great batting with you.

We had more players available than normal on Saturday so we ended up with a couple of players who usually play for the team above dropping down to get a game, we won but it felt a bit hollow when one person bashes 150 and retires out in a league game.

They were a good bunch of lads and the game was played in a nice spirit which is the main thing when you're at this level to be honest.

Personally I came in with a couple of overs to go, had a little cameo of 14* and got a bit of confidence back after sulking about my duck the week before. Then I kept wicket for about 30-odd before a legside take smashed into the tip of my finger and now its all purple and swollen, hopefully I'll be able to hold a bat again by the weekend.

Two very good wins from a team perspective this weekend, frustrating dismissals from me yet again.

Saturday we bowled the oppo out for 120. Personally came on for my first bowl in ages first change and went 0-6 off 6 overs. Took a one-handed diving catch at short leg and also held a skyer in the deep. Our top order collapsed like last season and we were soon 60-5. I personally made my way to 5 before their youngster gave me a borderline waste-high full toss and i pulled it straight to mid on. Pulled out of the shot half-way through because in my head i went "That's a no ball". Still not sure why i stopped my shot. Thankfully our skipper produced a captain's knock and we chased it 8 down.

Sunday we bowled the oppo for 130, didn't bowl or make any real contribution in the field. Batted 3 and once again made 5 before i got done by one that nipped back and i tentatively prodded at it. We got it 9 down with a youngster in his first ever adult game blocking out for 7 balls to help us to victory.

I think i need to just go back to what helped me last season, and that was trying to hit the ball hard rather than prod at it!

Had a t20 Tuesday night against a weaker side. We lent them our overseas and another lad as they were short. We got 183, I got 7 off 4, hitting a full toss from a left arm grenadier out the ground before our Aussie bowled me last ball of the innings. They got about 115 off their 20, I got 1/5 from two deliberately bowling well below match pace and giving it loads of air.

The left armer I hit for six was apparently 76, hence why he was pretty slow, and is aiming for his 4000th career wicket in the next couple of weeks! A remarkable effort in my opinion.

Unfortunately my back had flared up so I've dropped to the 2s as a batsman for Saturday, seeing my doctor on Wednesday but suspicion is my season my be over with a stress fracture. Hopefully get scans soon, if it is bad news then a charity game next Sunday will be my last game of the season and I'll probably become 2s scorer for the season to stay involved with the club.

Having a great start to the weekend not!!

All set to play my 2nd game of the season (out of the 9 I can play this year) and out of nowhere I have a seizure! Ambulance called and I am in A&E with all sorts of stuff in me as they try and work out what it was (as they don't think it was my epilepsy).

Praying for your best health and enjoying your cricket

Won today playing 2s. Played as a batsman, agreed to bowl if we were desperate. We got 211 all out in the last over, personally got 6 in singles before being bowled going big at the death. We then bowled them out for 22, young lad getting a five for and the other opener 4. They lost a guy to a dislocated shoulder halfway through our innings so only nine wickets to take. Took two catches, one sitter at mid on to win the game, and a screamer shortly before running round the boundary off a guy who scored almost all of their 22. My foot hurts more than my back because I drop kicked the ball after my first catch!

Another miserable day. Just blokes at the top who can't chase anything for toffee and just do nothing.

Done with Saturday cricket for awhile anyway with the World Cup, thank God
