Had a shocker yesterday
We agreed to an early start, for an umpire who wanted to watch the footy,,,the same umpire,then turned up late?
The omens were there from the start,,,,,to say he was comfortably the worst umpire I�ve ever seen would be a massive understatement. 81 yrs old, so fair play to him for still doing it,(and he drove a Porsche!), but he was dire
Miscounted bowlers overs, wides,didn�t give head height beamers as warnings, and several horrendous wicket appeals turned down, which probably cost us the game.

The pitch had two football pitches running across it,,,absolutely lethal outfield
50yard boundaries, now I�m not usually one to whinge at that

A lovely chap who does wormsleys ground turned up at 12, to cut! The wicket,,, then the outfield with a gang mower attached to his nice Wormsley company Isuzu
But neither removed any grass from either the outfield or the wicket?

Anyway, not that I�m still peed about the waste of a day
They were a bunch of idiots led by a cheating stand in skipper, who took their chances,rode their luck etc etc and hammered us if you go off the scorecard

And,,,second time this season, I�ve been fired by an umpire,(not the dodgy old one!ha)

Aaaaannndddd the teas were (No Swearing Please)

Managed to get our first win of the season yesterday!
We made 205, which was below par! I got promoted up the order to try accelerate some runs, and for the third time this season I got a start but couldn�t push on which is very disappointing for me! I got a quick 22, would really like to push on at some point!
We then won by 16 runs, I picked up for 4-32 off 10 overs, including a good caught and bowled!
Hard though victory, but hopefully it kicks our season on

Everything went wrong that could go wrong!

The oppo won the toss and put us in yesterday on the flatest track i can remember playing on in our first win/lose. We scored 365.

7 wins from 7 and now 20 odd points clear. Really proud of how the club continues to grow.

Battered and bruised yet again after diving around on ground like concrete, then had both big toes crushed by yorkers.
And yes we had another drubbing

Had a much better game today for my other league side. This was my third game for them and I'm averaging a catch a game as I snaffled my third in the slips. In contrast I totally missed one in the slips yesterday (grabbed fresh air) but all 3 chances for this team have come at a perfect height and speed. After an excellent tea which included prawn sandwiches, I batted at No.7 and helped ensure we batted through to the close. At the start of the final over, we still needed around 80 to win but with 5 wickets in hand, I "retired hurt" (after speaking to opposition skipper) to give a junior the chance to face a few deliveries.

Really enjoy playing for this team, they haven't won a game all season but everyone is so positive and almost entire XI goes for a swift lemonade after each match.

Didn�t play yesterday as it was my family weekend but popes down to watch. In a very tight start to the season with top 5 winning and mid losing each week was a great chance for us to beat one of the other top teams and we bowled and fielded so well so restrict them to 162/9 from 45.

In reply we totally cocked it up going from 42-0 to 61-4 then 84-4 to 149 all out. We just have to many players that can�t build an innings and try to finish as quickly as possible. Only benefit is the top 2 both lost and 3rd place had a free week so we are now 5th 21pts behind top with us playing team in 4th next sat. Real gulf between top 5 teams and other 6 teams in our league. Hopefully we can fix our batting issues as to reliant on our top 3 (me included at the moment)

Played a team younger than us on average this week, which takes some doing based the first few weeks of the season. Second shocker was we were actually given a proper opening batsman this week. What a difference it made, he scored 146* and we got 225-5 off 45. Quite some feat given he was doing Ramadan. Only incident was the change bowler chucking. I went to the oppo skipper at and let him know I knew. I don't take these things further as I don't want to ruin a lads cricketing career and at this level it shouldn't matter. However I expect the club he plays for to deal with it because somebody will call him in the future. Interesting their umpire was at square leg not ours. Skipper didn't seem surprised so obviously knows.

Oppo skipper had asked me how the wicket plays at the toss and I told him, apart from thr bit about spinners. They got to 50-1 and then we got to work, 9-83 from our 3 spinners. They were bowled out for 164.

Can't really believe we have won 4 from 4 and top of the league.

Another strange weekend for me.

Saturday we bowled out the oppo for 150. Bowled 3 overs for 17 as i kept losing my run up and just could not find my area. We then chased it in 25 overs. Came in at about 110 for 2 and found my way to 16 not out. Felt like i could hit the ball freely yesterday after struggling all season. We're 4 from 4 and top of the league!

Today i came in at 40-2 on a very slow track and just could not get my timing. Tried to play a pull shot and skied it straight to mid on. We were all out for 130 and they got them 5 down. On the flip side i had 3 overs (1-4) and the ball came out beautifully and was on the top of off stump all the time! It's a funny old game.

Lost again. Oppo made 250-8 from their 45 overs.

We made 173 all out with a couple of overs left in reply.

My Achilles is causing me real trouble now so my season may be over.

I hate cricket

Wishing you well Cam we have a lad out with a ruptured Achilles and he has said he felt it a few weeks before it actually went and wishes he had got it checked and not played on etc as the paid is apparently awful and his recovery period is at least 6 months

Wonderful weekends cricket. Original was going to be scorer and twelfth man for the seconds, but we had so many people available we put out a fourth team to play a friendly so I played in that. Oppo were Yarl CC who play at West Harrow Rec, nice group of guys and a decent deck, though a little up and down later in the game. Batted first and I opened up, and was retired for 100* in the 19th over, my first ton in five years and first for Beaconsfield. Kept for 20 overs of our fielding innings as we defended 287 to win by about 20.

Sunday I travelled to Ansty for a memorial game in memory of a Uni and Ansty team mates father who passed with prostate cancer earlier this year. Important cause for me as my uncle had the same cancer a couple of years ago but is now clear. Played half the game on pitch two as the girls were on the main pitch with regional semi finals, then the second half on pitch 1 after the girls were done. Got about 30 retired as we were all retiring around our guy whose dad passed, and it was a lovely moment as he made a chanceless hundred and his mum ran onto the pitch as he retired. Wonderful to see good friends and raise money for the hospice that cared for Malcolm and Prostate Cancer Research. Ansty have tried to tempt me back already, and I must say I rather enjoyed batting there again with good pace and bounce!

Had a good win in the village knockout yesterday.
Batting first we made 235-6 off 40. Our skipper scored a ton (using a @Northern monkey Oxfordshire bat) and our no 5 hit 90* using a @Neon Cricket
On a personal note I've spent 123 overs fielding over the last 3 days and feel broken. I've got another game Wednesday, so if anyone knows a miracle cure for a tender Achilles please let me know!

Ultra sound and stretching. Ultra sound removes the build up of scare tissue and stretching gets it match ready. As long as its not too serious, you could be fit in a month.

I'm currently waiting for a call back regarding this.
I'm having it looked at privately and the options (depending what's diagnosed) are ultra sound or laser treatment I believe.

As for back in a month that would be ideal, I've mentally prepared myself for my season to be over
