Not too many on my behalf, my worst, hwich isnt even that bad, is running around the boundary lining up a catch in last over of 1st innings, completely lost it in the sun and ducked for cover! being the expert fielder i am i had ducked directly in line with the ball despite being blind to it and it corked my on the back of my head! Felt like i'd been shot! However i saved a boundary and becuase of my football dramatics the batsmen ran none and it wasnt called dead ball! good times but not really if you get me

Pep that's a YBF nominee. �250 if caught that on camera

I've not been drunk to a match but i opened with a lad at our club who was still drunk from the night before. He'd gotten home after 10 and then came out to bat stinking of booze, face like tomato, sweating like mad and wobbling all over. Still managed to put on a partnership of 130 for first wicket and he banged 60 odd. Good job we were playing bottom of league. he was half asleep, completely trollied and seeing 4 balls for most of his innings. haha. I'll not forget that one.

This doesn't really count as on the field but it was on the way to a match. I got absolutely smashed on my 18th birthday and turned up for a 2 hour away trip still drunk..... I had to stop the minibus halfway as I needed to vomit, got out of the door and apparantly ran as fast as I could into the side of an industrial building.... I remember waking up in an ambulance on the way to hospital and missed the rest of the season because of a broken ankle!

On the field, getting to 50 odd before getting hit on the foot by a yorker that broke my toe... Calling for a runner and getting run-out due to a massive mix-up after scoring just 7 more runs..... Bad times!

I dropped a absolute dolly, at midwicket, tried to make up for it, pinged a throw at the stumps and it went for four, i then repeated it during the same match

had some moments in my time but the one that sticks out is the last game of 2010 season where i had a bad day!

had just retrieved a classy square cut from the point boundary and attempted to underarm it in to the bowler... sounds pretty standard so far. however, hung on to it a fraction too long and chucked it straight over my own head over a wall behind me, it took a good 5 minutes to get the ball back and im still taking abuse for it to this day. in the same game i bowled 4 overs for 33 and got naff all runs on the best track i'd seen all season... deffo ready for a few months off after that!

Been there Si, done that, I was the Timberland legend for years for hitting the tree behind me with the ball! Mine's a combined thing, I have a bogey ground for catches, in 3 games there I've dropped 10 catches! Normally a fairly safe pair of hands, had an absolute mare more than once at that ground!

Mr Cricket · « **Reply #24 on:** October 13, 2010, 04:39:00 PM »

tumo - that is timbo legend, can you find the match report from that game?! "unidentified player throwing the ball over the rope for 4 to end the game" from what i remember! quality - difference being mine had already gone for four haha

oh, and another one here from 2010

i was playing against some local rivals who i know very well and they were giving me loads of abuse - as you do when you know the oppo. anyway - i was really struggling as it was a horrible, cloudy day and it made their mediocre opening bowlers look like walsh and ambrose - getting swing/seam/bounce etc.

i got a poor lbw decision and was sent off accordingly, greeted by the crowd back at the pavillion i was getting heaps of stick from my teammates and others present, so in the heat of the moment (considering the conditions and how hard it was to bat that particular day) i quipped 'why dont you all take the piss out of my when every other c**t gets a hundred out there!'

i sat and watched as the number 3 and 4 batsmen made scores of 98 and 120 with a red face and a broken heart!

all good fun tho - i will never be allowed to forget about that!

First game we played on our tour of Jamaica, against the worst team in the Jamaican 40 over tournament, the opening bowler runs in and unleashes a Harmison. Second ball, he does the same. Two balls, two wides to 1st slip. Before he gets to bowl the third ball, the batsman takes his helmet off, shouts to the boundary "I don't need this, bring me my cap".

When we were playing our last game in Jamaica, the oppo batsman (who incidentally plays for the WI U19 team) hit a huge six. One of our guys went to get the ball, and then tried to throw it in from the boundary. He let go of the ball behind him and threw it backwards. Second attempt, to be safe, he threw it underarm, forgot to let go and chucked it behind him again. Third attempt, he rolled it safely along the ground. We don't let him forget it.

I had a stinker this year - in a low scoring game we had the opposition 80-8 chasing 110. There opening bat was still at the crease with about 30-odd, but he was very much having to rotate the strike to protect the guy at the other end. He made his first mistake of his innings giving me an absolute dolly catch at square leg - I made a complete mess of it - didn't exactly drop it cos I didn't put my hands in the right place, and pretty much completely missed it. Said batsmen then went on a pinch hitting rampage and had the game won for them inside the next 4-5 overs, carrying his bat for 50-odd.

never felt so low on a cricket pitch before, having literally dropped the game. Worse thing was I was staying out in that village after the game, so whilst my team mates all went home, I was on the beers in all the same pubs as the opposition.

I'm guessing the opposition paid for your beers that night

Dropped a dolly at point in a T20 game, the Jamaican player (cant remeber his name, but has played in the Stanford series) was on 20 at the time but went on to get 100 not out. We still chased down 170 to win though, I got 54* off just 31. I was relieved to say the least.
