just a note for everyone, getting a golden duck with a mongoose never goes down well.

I can vouch for that. Last weekend I had. 3 ball duck, after comming out and the keeper going "hey he's got a Sangkara helmet" and then a few seconds later "and a mongoose, he's got the full kit".......that 3 ball duck wasn't a nice feeling lol

LMFAO that's so true!! Mind you, not to toot my own horn but without my family the club wouldn't be where it is now: 100 years old this year.

Always makes me laugh when whenever I play on a Sunday someone always asks me where "the old man" (kinger) is

[ianbuchanan]

[ianbuchanan]

haha, thanks a lot but don't go that far! it was a pretty weak bowling attack, but still gotta hit them i suppose lol

friday freindly T20 today, made a quick 30 not out before retiring, good stuff

well done ian that sounds great!

well, I'll start with my game for the 2nds, due to problems with the 1st XI regeime, two of the key bowlers for the 1st were playing for us, and yup that meant they opened the bowling.......after 10 overs there were 5 down. A key hold to the middle order helped them and after the 40 we kept them down to 129-9. We had a good bowling attack but the batting troubled me, and we lost 2 quick wickets both LBW, and the worst thing was our captain was given out when he hit the ball before it hit the pads, and our umpire gave him out! Needless to say our pinch hitter came in and just didnt wait and hit 61*, we got the 130 in 23 overs, losing just those 2 wickets

now, onto our firsts.....and despite all the problems, they hit 395-3 in their 45 overs, yup you heard that right, 3 guys hit 100's. I believe they won lol

skipper for this season now, lots of pressure! won the toss, dubious one to win, batted first. was 29-3 after 12 overs, hitting myself for my poor decision! 4 and 5 vindicated it though, putting on 90 in about 17 overs! few more useful scores, i came in and smashed a cheeky PB and a red inker, 17*! ended on 187-8.

their innings was drawn out, we had them 60-6, our new young lad took 3 wickets in about 12 balls, rolled them for 104 in the end. picked up 2-13 off 8, mopping up the tail...

league game today, our first one without rain intervening!

we scored 208 which we thought was below par. i got ran out for 5 by our suddenly 'deaf' skipper who couldnt hear my repetitive calls of NOOO!!

we started well in the field and got them 30-3, but that soon became 140-3..... however after a dramatic collapse where we took 6 wickets in about 10 overs they needed 30 odd to win. their number 11 batted really well and they got within 8 runs of out target before we took the last wicket. great game to play in, really tense at the end!
