Yeah we've lost both our first 2 weeks of pre-season now, meant to be playing a league fixture on the 29th but even that looks iffy!

Our ground isn5 ready - it was underwater 2 weeks ago. First friendly sat 22 will either be on the artificial or at our opponents instead.

Tour to Cardiff commences Friday.
We’re playing against Whitchurch Heath on Saturday then a small journey to Abergavenny CC on Sunday.
We had the pleasure of playing at Abergavenny last year. Lovely ground

The whole league's first weekends fixtures were cancelled last weekend, and Oliver's 2nds match was rained off yesterday. Luckily the 3rds had someone drop out for today's game, and he took the spot for his "official" senior debut (he definitely didn't play any of last year under someone else's name). He did, however, refuse to keep, since he had literally finished a football match 45 minutes before the first ball!

Opposition were bowled out for 91 in 30 overs, and to be fair the openers did a cracking job of setting a platform in dreadful conditions. Credit should be given to both sides for completing the game.

When Ollie came in at #3 he had time to play himself in without worrying about the run rate and let the opener keep scoring. He did this really well, scoring slowly but playing authoritative strokes whilst finding the mushy slow pitch hard work. Eventually the other opener fell, as did another couple of quick wickets. Ollie did really well to keep his head and play some nice shots before receiving a gentle full toss which he hit for his first senior 6!

So whilst it was only 15*, it was done in some tricky conditions and he will have learnt a lot. His strike rate of 68 was perfectly respectable (although the 6 helped!)

Glad to finally get the season moving!

Good stuff! More cancellations here in Sussex. Hopefully a T20 warm up on Friday, then final (only now!) practice game on Saturday. I’ve bought some handwarmers as it’s still only 13C.

So apparently what he has learnt is he thinks he is too good for the U15s.

Out for 2 this evening facing a very weak bowling attack. Got a straight one and decided to pull it on the 3rd shot of the innings.

It stayed low.............

I hope he learns this lesson  :( :(

That could have gone better!

Club, first team and league debut for my new club

Lost by 118 runs

Bowled out for 58 chasing 166

Pudding of a wicket, lost the toss asked to bowl

Personally, 8-1-0-15 was ok, should have been much much better, 7 wides and a dropped catch off my bowling, but very very rusty after only a few nets. Took a catch at slip which was pleasing especially off a spinner

Batted at 4, chipped one to midwicket for 3, little early on it, stopped in the pitch slightly, right shot, awful excecution

Glad to be back playing after a long winter

I'm now kinda ready for the season for either Commonwealth CC or the Boston Bulls CC - still undecided, and it is a tricky decision.
I ordered a thigh guard etc tonight in preparation. I guess it is time to get out of hospital as soon as I'm soon as I'm feeling properly better.
