Have the leg off, it'll make no discernable change to your bowling action anyway!

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!

I must have played against you on Sunday, what a great day! Being one of only 2 under 30 in a side with an average age of over 50 was a challenge. No wonder we struggled with you pulling in ringers!

An absolutely fantastic day and a very fitting end for Tom to score 100.

Ha cheers lads, I did pop a post on but seems it got missed.
Long story short... our oppo were not strong on Saturday and we batted first, me and my opening partner piled up 259 for the first wicket in 29 overs before I was out for 156 off 86. He batted through the 45 to finish 159* with us finishing on 416-3! Not the worst day with the bat, then we knocked them over for 111 to win by over 300.

Agreed, a wonderful tribute to Malcolm. He was following us last season despite being seriously ill so as soon as I had a chance to get involved I took it. I was the only ringer as such, everyone else who played is still an Ansty player.

Ive known Tom for about seven years and played together for 4. I was bowling leg spin and batted 3, but normally with Ansty batted 9-11 last season.

Probably the leg spinner that got me out..... Caught at mid on!

I toured with Malcolm a few times, my first tour I roomed with Tom!

So after raining most of the morning today I couldn’t say I was confident of getting a game in but very weirdly our ground had very little of the heavy rain. Start was delayed by 90mins and game reduced to 30overs a side after some great work by our groundsmen and players mucking in. We won the toss for the 1st time this season and elected to bowl. This is the highlight of our game unfortunately.

They raced off to 67-0 off 8 after some awful new ball bowling, spin introduced picked up a couple of quick wickets but to much poor bowling early doors allowed them to get to 147-8 from 30. They scored 4 runs in the last 5 overs with a couple of brick wall batters ensuring we didn’t bowl them out or get extra overs.

In reply I opened up with normal opening partner who this season after always being really attacking and positive has turned into a wall to make me look like a T20 specialist. It’s just not working I managed to get singles off the 3 balls I faced in the first 6 overs (remember we are chasing) when I managed to chop on 1st ball of the 7th over to leave us 1-3 and already at 8 am over. All others lost there heads hitting a couple of boundaries before getting them selves out and we ended 89 all out.

Our seasons looking a bit bleak at the moment, lack of commitment from players that have been regular over past years getting us 4 promotions on the trott is effecting us massively. This has lead to arguments in the club as looks like we need to fold our Sunday 1st team but league rules don’t allow this meaning we have to fold our Sunday 2nd team which is 5 divisions below the prem which our 1st team play in on Sundays means the 2nd team keep getting there matches cancelled giving them no cricket and they have no interest in playing a level way beyond nearly all of them.
For the 1st time ever I’m just not enjoying cricket despite before today having a really good season both with the bat and the gloves. Hope things change but I don’t see any at the moment what the positive catalyst will be to make the change. After looking for promotion again we find ourselves mid table a long way off top 2 placed teams.

Game off today.

Our oppo are a third team and play at another club's ground and called it off at 10am. We offered for them to come to us as our forecast was bright and we play on an astro which isn't affected by rain. They seemed keen initially, but then came back with "a lot of our youngster's have a county game so we don't want to risk it" (not sure why an away game meant 'risking' it but ok...)

The league allow us to rearrange and the date will be one where their first and second team have no game, so i look forward to facing half their 1st team when we play. Annoyingly it's been dry all day so we would have got a game in without a problem. No game tomorrow so no cricket at all this weekend, brilliant.
