Howd your boys go on against Clevedon on Saturday Ian? We had a good game with them on tour, hand still hurts from catching the overseas!

Haha, I think I know the overseas you are on about, Dickson? He hit 150 odd against us earlier in the year :S

We were rained off unfortunatly, we batted our innings and scored 142 from the reduced 30 overs... they were 60-0 when the heavens opened!

How did the tour go? How were the games against Clevedon and Bristol? Cheers

Scored 49 again yesterday

Watched Gloucestershire Vs. Essex tonight. Good to watch a game than play for a change. Chris Wright is a legend joining in with the banter, even had one of my softmints! :O

Ryan ten Doeschate on the other hand is very miserable

Yeh thats the lad, was at short midwicket and he smashed a long hop at me! Belting deck there, dont envy any bowlers in Somerset, we put about 170 on in T20 and defended it.

Took a stuffing at Bristol in Twenty20, 45 over game was a lot closer but rained off with us 38-1 in reply to 183. Theyve got a lot of serious players, a lad from Somerset 2's, Chris Tavare's nephew and a guy who used to be at Glamorgan who made an effortless 60odd against us.

Good time had by all, not great preparation for our pudding wicket on Saturday tho - were 60odd-8 at one stage!

Lol David Masters was laughing on the boundary when I made a dig at Matt Walker's build in a 'you have to be there' joke lol

Yeah the wicket at Clevedon is a good'un! I would love to bat on it every week. We are very lucky in our league to play on decent wickets like that...

And yeah Bristol are a good side. I have a mate who keeps wicket for the 1's, don't know if he played against you or not, his name is Adam Jones... And their Somerset 2's player is a guy called Charlie Walker, I trialled with him at Somerset he's a good player.

Glad to hear the tour went well! How was the nightlife in Brizzle?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Charlie only joined them a yr our so ago as he played for failand and portbury with his dad....not a bad player, a few of the youngsters from our club have sadly moved to Bristol as most private school kids seem to do after using our youth set-up

matt tavs is also there now who will be a good little player all be it a small one lol

Good weekend for me. On saturday our seconds hammered them in a 1st vs 4th match, after skittling them out for 13 (yes I couldnt believe it either!), myself and my younger brother knocked off the runs with relative ease; I finished 9* and move ahead at the top of the league. On sunday, I made 47 (up there with the better knocks Ive played all year, on what was a shocker of a track) before slapping to backward point, we ended up 120 all out; not batting our full 40 overs. Our bowlers pulled us through to victory with only 6 needed off the last over, our skipper bowled 6 perfect yorkers and we won, progressing to the league final! Great weekend!

CHAMPIONS

Best birthday present ever. 1st Vs. 2nd for the title and they batted first, restricted to 112 all out. I got 1.1-0-4-1 and the best 29 I've ever got, feel like I'm coming back to form! Middled most of my shots, all along the floor and some fulfilling drives. Very, very happy!!

[Jeet]

I umpired the 1s today, who where involved in a relegation dogfight.

We won quite comfortably in the end. we where struggling at 45-5 at one stage, but recovered to 186 A/O.

Bowled the oppo out for 78.

After ringing the other sides in the league for an hour, we received the great news that we stayed up by the skin of our teeth!

Happy days and beer all-round!!!

[ianbuchanan]

scored for the 2nds today... bad, bad game! was basically our 3rd team playing and the other side were pretty strong today. we batted first and slipped from 38-0 to 83 all out. other side knocked them off in 14 overs and we were all done by tea! went up to watch most of the 3rd team game!

[Tumo]

Fielded first today, they put on 149, one of their lads getting the ugliest fifty I can remember! Really struggled today, 10-1-38-1, I bowled 6 really good overs, turning the ball quite a bit, 2 okay overs, but then bowled 2 overs of absolute dross, slightly wet ball but no excuse, was awful! We knocked them off for 5 wickets in reply, I was next man in! c'est la vie...
