Your Cricket Season

[Daemon]

Interesting that you've scored exactly 50 three times. Did you retire or something?

First time was my first-ever men's game as a full-time player; we were pushing for an outright and the team decided to push back the declaration until I got to the 50.

Second time my partner ran me out, which was quite annoying because the team we were up against was filled with guys who I coached for school cricket during the week. They had no chance of getting me out any other way.

Third time we were 9 down and my partner was clueless; he stuck around long enough for me to get to 50 and then I decided to try and go after it - any more runs were bonus. Trying to slap a yorker over mid on didn't work too well.

Our club has won the t20 title beating our German rival. A tight match with 3 ducks on our side. I didnt play in the final obviously but its I must say its good to have at least one trophy of the planned three

Next week tour to Sussex !!!

i avg about 10 with the bat and 13 with the ball. no danger of a graph though ****s

 

[Hurricane]

yeah club bowling averages can get quite low - if you tell me that is with a four piece I will be impressed however.

here's a graph of my last 80 innings.

i averaged 8 with the ball with a four piece last year

 

[uvelocity]

i always average somewhere around there. two piece on syntho these days. never have been in any danger of scaring anybody above the age of 12 for pace though

 

[Hurricane]

these dukes their talking about bringing in - for aussie club cricket - will they be two piecers?

 

[uvelocity]

no idea. more posturing to get k00ka to drop their prices probably though

 

[Riggins]

i'm pretty sure all senior cricket played on turf is with four piece, the duke's for this would be the same.

2 pieces are important on hard wickets, they hold together better and don't lose as much shape i think.

 

[uvelocity]

theyre also cheaper. thats the main reason

Sounds like a bloke at our club; 400 wickets bowling outswingers at just a touch above medium pace, sub-10 average in high park cricket grades every year.

 

[uvelocity]

sick of taking wickets tbh, gonna try and bat more next year. ready to hit a 50

 

[jan]

Guys, does anyone here at CW possibly play for any of these clubs?

St James's Montefiore CC
West Chiltington & Thakeham CC
Hailsham CC
Rottingdean CC

 

[Daemon]

Pretty sure Marcuss plays for Rottingdeane. However I don't think you're playing their junior XI so I doubt you'll play against him.

Why don't you play a higher standard. Taking wickets at 8 is stupid.

 

[Jarquis]

Developed the really annoying habit of scoring runs for everyone besides my home league side.

Played a higher standard in wales for club and uni = runs. Played Sunday cricket against a first xi bowling attack = runs. Rock up for my home 3rds and blob up. Guh.
There is progress though. 2 years ago I used to score 10-20, last year was 20-30 this year its 25-40 I score most weeks. Just need to learn to grind to 50 rather than just opening up once I get to 20

13 i said. i've played the highest anyone will pick me for, and now im old and fat i play with my mates. i play at a strong club too, so its not like there's numpties playing above me

 

[uvelocity]

and anyway that's not uncommon in park cricket, averaging low teens consistently with the ball, nobody is hitting double tons down here.
