I didn't play but watched our team beat Cleeve 1st in a T/20, we got 178-2 off 20, they were 154-8 (?) off 20 so we go through to the next round

Had a pretty good game yesterday.  Our first 20/20 of the season:

They won the toss, and batted first. Scored 166.

I opened the batting, and we had a good start.  My opening partner got off to a flyer, and I fit nicely into the supporting role hitting the occassional boundary.  We
put on a stand of about 55 when he got run out.  We were left needing about 30 runs from the last 3 overs, with 7 wickets in hand when we had to stop play due to bad light.  I didnt get a look at the scorebook when we came off, but someone said I was somewhere between 45 and 50.

Would have been nice to knock off the last 30 runs, but oh well....it felt good to spend some time in the middle.

My scores so far this season:  2* (match abandoned due to rain), 1, 45ish* (bad light stopped play).

[ianbuchanan]

last 2 games played yesterday and today, was put batting at 9 in both games when i'm an opener.... bit pissed off as some of the people batting before me were pretty shocking... i didnt bat in either games.

got a direct hit run out and a wicket yesterday, and took 2 catches keeping today though

[Colesy]

I hate not batting as well

[peplow]

Yeah its not cool, although sometimes outside of league cricket its good to give others a go, just to show they cant take your place in the big time on a sat!!!! (or whatever day your league is!)

[Colesy]

Nah opening the batting Saturday and Sunday is the best

[peplow]

Yeah who am i kidding :L it is!!!

[ianbuchanan]

haha thats the worst thing, both these teams are teams i play only friendlies for! today i arrived about 15 minutes late because i was coaching kids all morning at the club i play league for, so they didnt know whether i was gona turn or not.... but yesterday i was rather annoyed. i was next in with 5 overs to go, both batsmen blocked out....

although i wouldnt mind not batting on saturday.... lol!

[Colesy]

We won today chasing 145. We got there 8 wickets down, I was out on 22 needing 1 run to win nailing one to mid on :/

100 hopefully tomorrow

Interesting game today against Bristol West Indians. They racked up 303 from their 45 overs!

We only had 2 out and out seamers, one went for 93 from 13 overs and the other 60 from 11! I bowled 12 overs for 89 with 2 wickets! One of which was former Gloucestershire 2nd XI player and current West Brom footballer Reuben Reid so was happy with that!

We then went out to bat against Reid who has apparantly been clocked at 80mph, along with another opener who looked quicker. I was pooing myself but somehow got 59... lots of sledging in the field and a lot of bouncers! We were all out for 215 so lost by loads....

Sunday league tomorrow
