Got absolutely hammered in the coldest game I've ever played. (There was hail and even a bit of snow when we were fielding!) Opposition scored 320 and when I came in to bat at #5 we needed to score something like 270 runs at 10+ an over and like an idiot I actually tried to go for it and got dismissed for 18 and we were dismissed for around 120.

In hindsight I should probably have treated it like a net session and just batted 20-30 overs but I'm not really wired like that.

The other team brought their own umpire today... genuinely gave me a send off after he'd triggered me lbw for one I'd smashed into my pad. Our top scorer also got given out lbw for one that hit him in the hip. What a waste of time!

And this is why I think you should be able to reject an oppo provided umpire in our league.
I did it when I was captain but league rules are different now.

Better luck next week

Played a friendly which we won fairly easily we batted first and got 230ish and they batted all 40 overs for 160. Got given out LBW only for their keeper to apologise saying that wasn�t out but hey ho I should have hit it. LBW seems to be my most common mode of dismissal so something to work on.

Great game of cricket yesterday against our local rivals who usually beat us. We had them at 89-6 but they recovered to 161 all out - they had dropped a higher order bat down to 8 to strengthen the tail and we didn�t take a couple of tough catches.

We started slowly, and after 2 short breaks for rain we were at 135 for 9 after 39.3 overs looking for a reduced target of 147 off 41 overs. Yours truly was number 11 and managed to survive 3 balls from their opening bowler (hitting 2 but no runs). So that left us needing 12 for the win off the last over and only one wicket remaining - not looking good. Fortunately our number 10 is a decent bat.

Ball 1 - lovely cover drive for 4
Ball 2 - bye for 2 quick runs
Ball 3 - a beautiful 6 over mid wicket and massive celebrations

A very satisfying day of cricket, albeit a bit cold again.

So 2 wins from 2 to start the season. Unfortunately not playing again for 4 weeks due to other commitments

Friendly yesterday with a very short boundary one side. We got 376/2 with two retirements from 45 overs. Ickenham got 309/7 from theirs, had a young lad score a very good 116. I had the short boundary on the leg side when I bowled, so took some punishment, 2/62 from 7. Also got a parking ticket outside the ground.

Guess parking ticket hurts more,
sometimes there is no way to know if it's free parking or not

Single yellow lines, people parked both sides so I put two wheels on the curb in case emergency vehicles needed access. That's what got me ticketed, our coach on the other side of the road from me also had two wheels up but no ticket!

Not played the first two weekends of the season due to being away and the final home game of the football season. Was selected for the Sunday 1st XI in a friendly much to my surprise as I was being asked by the Saturday 3rd captain if I'd play for him. Netted well over the winter and said they'd give me a shot. Much to my surprise/delight they asked me to Bat at 3, we got off to a good start and then lost two wickets, I started like a snail and the guy who came in a 4 just went like a rocket, so I did the dutiful support act, we had a decent 100 run partnership going, he retired on 80 and I ran myself out on 36 2 balls later! Pleased with my that though as it's only my 2nd game in 15 years! on too next week... if I get picked.

Regardless of yellow lines, you can be ticketed on any pavement if you are deemed to be blocking wheelchair, pram or pedestrian access

Back down to earth with a bump for us after losing by 5 wickets on Saturday

Unavailability cost us with 5 missing from previous Sat. The team did well to drag the chase out with the opposition eventually getting there in the 49th over, we just didnt have any threat to our bowling to take the wickets.

Personally scored 21 opening before my quad pinged, after trying to carry on for a few overs had to retire hurt. So probably a couple of weeks off

We tried rejecting one a couple of seasons ago and our skipper and club secretary got two match bans over it. Bizarre the way the league behaves over it, I'll probably not bother with the return fixture.

Oops, good job our oppo didn�t complain then when I sent their umpire back off the field!
I�d have probably just packed it in entirely if the league banned me for that, their priorities are all over the place!

won our first league game of the season, despite 6 breaks for hailstones! we got 211-7 in our 45, I scraped my way to 24 before the oppo umpire decided to change the LBW rules - probably did me a favour as cricket wasn't the winner for any of my innings.

after a few more rain breaks, their target became 168 from 36. im not sure the league rules for revised targets is right as it hugely benefits the team batting second.

At 120-0 we were in trouble but we managed to restrict them in the end with 11 needed off the last over and won by 5.

would have been very disappointing had we lost, as was a long journey on a freezing cold day and finished in near darkness.

bring on next week

In the handbook....Captains cannot object to a clubs nomination, providing he is experienced and has attended a 'fair play' training session, or is ecb qualified

Unfortunately I discovered the expensive way! Ah well, onwards and upwards.
