threw away a league ton on sat - (out for 89) am still grumpy. We got 255 in 48 overs and cleaned up the oppo for 64 - they were 34-7 as our opening bowler got 7-12 - we gave the other bowlers a chance and some overs as the game was effectively over.
On the plus side there were comments that my SAF bat must be illegal given how hard the ball was flying to the fence! I even miscued a cover drive (ou of the screws) for 6 over the point boundary...

Had our first 40-over match of the season yesterday.  They won the toss, and chose to bat first.  We weren't fielding a full strength side, since one of our new-ball bowlers strained his hamstring in practice two days ago, and one of of our all-rounders wasnt available either.  We didnt start too well, with the guy that was given the first over struggling with his line and length (he must have bowled 4 wides).  The big shock of the day for me was when I was asked to open the bowling from the other end!!  (I have never bowled in a league game before, let alone opened the bowling)  I only bowl for fun in the nets so the batters get more deliveries to face, but apparently the coach and captain liked what they saw the last few times I bowled in the nets (it would have been nice if they had told me prior to the game).  Anyway, started poorly with a couple of wides, but then settled down and gave away just a couple of runs off the bat with a couple of plays and misses, which was encouraging.  However, I then lost the plot in the second over and bowled 5-6 wides and got hit over long-on for 6.  Needless to say, I didnt get the ball back.  It was a horrible day for cricket (5 degrees and windy/damp), and all our bowlers struggled. I think we ended up bowling 40 wides in all, but our quickest bowler who bowls first change came on and started cleaning house immediately (think he picked up 4 wickets).  They ended up scoring 218 before being bowled out in the 37th over.

I went out to open the batting and was feeling good (flicked one off my legs behind square and drove another straight back past the bowler) when the rain came down :-(

Would have liked to have a good crack at that total....but oh well....its a long season and the weather will get better soon :-)

Finally got some runs today, 101. First ton too. Not too bad considering I usually just bowl!

got a great cameo yesterday with the mongoose, we fielded first and on the all weather track they hit 177 in the 40, not bad. What was funny was I was asked to bowl the last over because of a muck up, great....big problem: I'm a leg spinner (wrist spin almost), with a lot of spin and I was asked to bowl on the side where my spin would go down the hill........4 wides because of the amout of spin was too much, and the worst part was I was piching it right

we hit them with no real problems, our opener hit 50 and retired, another guy hit 55, and I hit a short blast 9 with the goose, got onto the field and comments were made, first ball was a pull that just went down the hill for 4 with no effort, bear in mind it was a wet outfield aswell!, next ball straigh back over the bowlers head for 4 more....that was basicly it as I got bowled by a lefty because I cant play lefty's, need to work on it. But while waiting to find the ball I hit the guys came around and we started talking about the bat, they know about the bat and it was quite fun. One of our older players made a comment that that first shot will be in his head for a long time as I pulled a straight ball gown with little ease

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