I've not posted here before but I've had an interesting season, to say the least...


The first 4 games (2 league 2 friendlies) for our 2XI were rained off (typical British weather)


In the 5th game I played in the 2XI, I broke the middle finger on my right hand in the 17th over of the first innings (keeping) I finished the game and got 11 with the bat (I don't think I nicked it)


In the 12th game, I return to the 4XI with 2 wickets a catch, and 52 with the bat (not bad)


The next game I was promoted to the 3XI where I was hit in the jaw with a beamer broke my jaw in 2 places and had surgery, got 2 plates in the chin (Thank you to the NHS!), and was told not to touch a bat or ball for 6 weeks


I'm hoping I can play the last league game (2nd September) but not 100% just yet


I've played more golf this year that cricket, but the swing feels great so I'm not complaining too much

Crikey mate hope you're alright and get to play again this season!

Played first game in a while for a new club as have just moved.

I’m stiff!

Decent win but man was I rusty.
Also, still convinced I jiggled a fair catch at first slip- I caught the ball in my armpit.
However, apparently the batter missed it and it somehow reached me at first slip after hitting the block hole. Still feel like I was robbed of a decent catch.

But good to be back on the field of play, oppo were a decent bunch with some real characters

I scored 9 before missing a full bunger from a an Asian leggie who walked in just like the late great Shane Warne (he even had the sweatband)
The ball lodged in the back of my pad.

Ah. Cricket.

Jesus Christ, definitely take up golf!

I'm so sorry and hope you recover as swiftly and painlessly as possible.

Played my 2nd Sat league game of the season and 8th overall but 3 of those have been evening T20’s.
Been messed around a lot over the past couple of seasons in terms of selection and batting/keeping position but to a degree I understood as only playing every other week at my most available.

@SOULMAN1012 Chris, I was looking at some of the stats for division 5 of the two counties and saw that some bloke had played 14 innings, scoring 1051 runs with 7 hundreds!!!! What on earth is he doing playing division 5 cricket?

How does bat making compare to playing? I have a reoccurring injury (hamstring) and I'm worried that my playing days may be over (at 46). I'm going to see how I go over the winter but if I start next season and keep getting the same/similar injuries I am going to call it a day and finish up for good. Anyone got any ideas on what to do if/when I give up. I have my ECB level 2 coaching but to be honest I don't especially enjoy coaching. Don't feel my decision making is good enough to be an umpire. Maybe I need to take a scoring course. The thought of not playing again is a bit depressing so I need something to move onto.

I really wouldn't be happy if a 3rd XI seamer had broken my jaw with a beamer.  :o

Get well soon.

Tom Whiteman is a serious player. Scored most of his 50 off tons in the Prem and I played with his for a year at Woolpit. He had a break for a year or who when kids came along and has gone back to playing with his mates. They came up last season basically on the back of his 8 or 9 tons in Div 6. They get blown away when he doesn’t play or fails but they sit top and the whole team basically bat around him.

The bat making keeps my interest in the game and allows me to meet new people and still talk club cricket etc.
Injury wise iv been very lucky across my career but I do ache a lot more now than I remember from the last few years.

Felt sad hearing you may call it a day at 46

Injuries after 40 do catch up , it just seem to Happen

Although you would not associate cricket or I did not being a sport which would be so injury prone

Standing in the field for 3 .5 hours , running and throwing sporadically , actually is not easy

Hamstring instrung injuries creep up although tears I believe would be better there than the shoulder

Main season summary so far... rain. Played way more t20s and LMS than Saturday league, which to be honest suits me just fine these days! Shorter games are definitely the future imo.

Not seen or heard of him, not that I really follow anyone these days just knew as soon as @JTtaylor145 mentioned Div 5 player with that amount of runs although one of our lads must have 700+ I reckon
