game yesterday, struggled with my lead arm cause i've pulled a muscle, 16-0-76-3, rough time of it, one of their lads got a ton and i had him dropped off me on 45 and 80! Sitters as well! They got 217-5 off 45, and then we were all out 136, I was given out to and LBW when I was hit outside leg and 2 yards down the track...! Shocker!

Went in yesterday on 16 for 3 after 5 overs which then became 30 for 5 after 10. I was there at the end on 90* and took us to 203 for 7. That should have been plenty however our bowlers managed to mess it up along with couple dropped catches! Was terrible everyone of the opposition players batted like they would be more suited to playing at wimbledon! Oh well.

[Mr Cricket]

first ever score of 150+ today in a freindly, day off work, 1030 start, declaration game, batted number 4 and made 164 out of 304-6 dec. off 56 overs, leaving the oppo 34 overs to bat out for the draw which they did, finishing on 169-3 with one of their guys ending 70 odd not out. delighted and exhausted, back to work tomorow

Well done Mr C - it is a great feeling going really big in an innings - that feeling of knowing where the bowler is going to bowl turns into the feeling that the bowler is going to bowl at you where you want him to bowl so you can smash it... only happens when you go really big

[Mr Cricket]

great feeling to walk off knowing that you've made it count, just 4 more days at work until ill get another chance now!

ahhhhhh! U16 game today, got bowled by a (No Swearing Please) ball on 85, put every one like it away for 4 but tryed to nurdle it for a single thinking i was on 98. when my partner got to 50 i worked out what i was on roughly from the total score but i forgot to count extras!
we got 219-2 the day after chasing down 203, good for a team thats only passed 150 twice before in two years!

Not that good tbh, due to an knee problem I decided to focus on friendly games this season.
As my club is mainly focusing on league I only played two games for them. Went quite good, took some wickets, scored plenty of runs but I noticed that the friendship in the team disappeared. All the guys that aren't been selected for league end up in the friendly team nagging and complaining  even trying to coach me but getting out in their first over. Mostly for ducks :-)

So I joined a second team where I play 1-2 friendlies a week and this gives me plenty of satisfaction. Altho there are still some naggers in that team as well.

SO might be focussing on rugby this year.

[Alvaro]

naggers in a cricket team? noooo, surely not?

[amoboko]

i know what you mean, but driving back for two hours after a game with 3 of such guys in your car really stimulates drinking :-)

Out of around 90 members at our club we are struggling to put 3 teams out of our normal 4. Our 2nd team is missing possibly 10 players. Quite disappointed I've been over-looked for our 1's after scores of 110, 0 and 49 in the last 3 innings when our 1's have a weakened team tomorrow, when I started the season in the 1's averaging 24.33

[ianbuchanan]

first duck of the season today, chopped on first ball of the innings. good ball but i better not do it again this weekend (3 games in 3 days!)

Not good Coles - have you asked why you have been overlooked??
