got the rough end of non covered pitch on sat (which is mental as the club in question has excellent covers) - struggled to 30 -2 off 14 and then got 217 - we thought that was decent - but as the wicket dried out unfortunately one of their lads played some great shots/smashed it and got 137* and they won easily with 7 overs to spare - we managed to drop him on 0 and then 3 other times

however still got 7 points (last year the same happened at the same club and we got 0 points - so could be worse!!!!

They don�t have a groundsman and the players don�t go up there during the week. No one to put on or move them off sadly. Like a lot of smaller clubs, there aren�t the people willing to drive over, move covers, drive back.. etc

Their covers in particular aren�t one man manageable either sadly

yeah these things happen - didn't realise they didn't have a groundsman (as their shed is full of kit our groundsman (as myself as his dogsbody) would give our rights arms to be able to use, it was just a surprise as we were expecting this to not be one of the grounds in div 6 (everyone of our team was looking forward to the game as apperley is always a popular place to play) where it would be turn up when it is wet (esp as it only rained friday night) and it be 'win the toss win the game' - but not holding our catches was by far the main reason we didn't compete better anyway

Interesting start to our league season on Saturday, new player who had joined our club on league debut out first ball of the season run out....next bloke in scores 98 2 weeks ago in a friendly...out first ball....I was in at #6 so went to get my whites on as was in warm up kit still....another cheer and our #3 was also out for a golden duck.

Solid start at 0-3 to kick off the season with 😂

Thankfully we rebuilt and ended up 249 all out and bowled them out for 204.

Yeah it�s usually decent but as their players don�t live next to the ground putting covers on and off is random.

Not playing today due to our pitch being to wet.

Got put in on our uncovered sticky wicket. We were 8/3 off of 9 but turned it round to 172/9 off of our 40. I played on in the penultimate over for 78.
They went in and were 107/1 off of 22 on a drying wicket. They consequently collapse to 117 all out. Me 4-1-19-1
2 wins on the trot now.
Good game against a friendly bunch, a good tea so a good day overall.

Lost our 1st league game of the season today, lost the toss and we batted 1st on a wicket which had been under covers all week, did really well to get the game on and our groundsman did a superb job, outfield was long though as just unable to cut since Tue with all the rain. Anyway we made an ok start and we were 72-0 after 22 but just after drinks I played inside the off spinners arm ball and was bowled for 41. Next over my opening partner went for 42 and we were now 91-2 and limped our way to 136 thankfully a few extras from there young erratic opening bowler in his 2nd spell got us to that.

In reply we got an early wicket but that was it until the 29th over of there innings and at 121-1 we got there other opener then next over the No3 and they got a bit nervous. They finally got over the line in the 42nd over for the loss of 7 wickets. Took a very nice tidy stumping off our leggie.

Was a massive toss to have lost as our innings was littered with short showers than spiced up the pitch and made the already slow outfield even slower and as soon as we took tea the sun came out and the 2nd innings was truly glorious sunshine.
Anyway on to next week although due to family things and a free week on my next playing weekend I now have a month off. 180 runs at 60 isnt a bad start to my season so hopefully a break doesn�t effect me to much

Game cancelled by the oppo yesterday. They've always hated playing against us because they're the type of team who disagree with any team playing the game differently to them so not overly surprising they cancelled. However, in doing so they've handed us the advantage as they're going to be challenge us for the league.

We were initially down for 16 games this year, one team dropped out this week, we've played one and one was cancelled. So we're in the second week of May and we only have 12 games left!

Having looked at the league it seems it's going to be a straight shoot out between us and two other teams for the two top spots.

We bowled 1st, I started bowling from 2nd over onwards flew 5 overs, tidy stuff, only got 1 wicket, at the end they made 153, which I felt was way under par,
Heavy rain came down when our openers started batting, for 15 minutes, suddenly we were 3 down for 2 runs, and then 5 for 54,recovery was slow but then runs were picked up quickly before those 2 batmen got out playing big shots, when I went to bat at 10 there were still 11 runs needed, played very nicely flick off the spinner for and then later again pulled for for 4, other batter got out, picked another double off the left seem bowler, match was Tied,
Next over 1st ball I got myself run out by backing too far for that single, so this really good match ended in a tie, with 2.5 overs left!

Bowled the oppo for 94 on the stickiest wicket and then got bowled out for 34 with a 3 ball duck for yours truly.

So that was nice.

Funny game yesterday
I turned up at the oppos ground, and a bloke parked next to me, oright mate, yeah I�m oreet, how are you?
Ahh is that a Yorkshire accent he asks,,,,grrrr, no it fac%in isn�t,,,oh ok, where you from? I�m from Burnley,,,,oh are you, I�m from Blackburn he says,,,,,,oh dear,,,you a Burnley fan he asks me? Hmmm yes
Ohh, I�m today�s umpire he says,,,,well that was that then

Absolutely garbage council prepared wicket, which is a disgrace, as it�s a stunning set up, just on the outskirts of Oxford, which the team has to pay a fortune to play on,,,,,cut, marked etc the night before a game?
So it had been rained on all week.

Luckily we won the toss and stuck em in,(we only had ten men) and bowled em out easily for 74,,, I got a few, cant remember my figures,(I�m being modest😉),
Came out to bat, and got fired lbw after edging the ball onto my pads! My not so friendly umpire hmm
The same umpire then basically got worse, wouldn�t give huge wides, gave our skipper out stumped when the oppos had mistakenly appealed for a caught behind etc etc.

Anyway, karma prevails,,,we won easily, with a father son combo batting us to victory
The oppos skipper apologised to me afterwards for appealing, which only made it worse, but hey ho

Funny old game

Lost by one wicket defending 96 on a trash damp wicket. Absolute village batting from one of our openers who scored 30 in 35 overs then complained about being injured but didn't take himself off. Absolutely garbage selfish attitude.

Taking a few weeks off Saturday cricket, hate it
