happy with my matches a century in one of my one day games resulting in a man of the match performance although the team struggled and only won 1 of 3 games and in the 4 day match i felt i was a bit stiff to fall one run short of a century but an innings victory in that match is a terrific effort by the team!

Well, with our games over, I've achieved some of what I set out to do and fell behind in other areas. Well, at least my OD batting, anyway, which is a bit surprising as I was doing so well in the CW League. I averaged just 36.92 with the bat in the 12 OD's in America, although I did have a strike rate of just over 90. My bwoling in OD's was pleasing, though - averaged 39.29 with an eco rate a smidgen above four an over.
However, overall, I'm happy as I achieved things in an area I was extremely weak in before. In the CW Dev League, I never once reached 70. Here, I cracked past 70 twice in OD's and three times (almost four!) in the longer games, including two tons, 105 and 148*. Of course, having said that, I still managed to keep my trend of posting 40-60 in seven of my sixteen 4D innings! One handy thing to be able to say, though, is that once I reach double figure, it's aparently unlikely for me to get out until I hit 40 - eleven out of sixteen innings being 40+ means my 4D average finished on a nice 56.50.
One thing that is most important of all, though - I got to know a lot of great people, had huge amount of fun and really enjoyed my times in the US of A. The boys on the team were a right laugh for the most part and Ferd and I put on some brilliant opening partnerships which I hope to be able to keep going in the future, should we ever open together again (here's hoping!). The guys on the other teams were great, too, and I hope American cricket will continue to bring people together both on and off the pitch.

Well since the US adventure is over i have done a quick add-up of my statsduring my stint here...
OD Games
By far i had my best form in the OD arena, with some good knocks behind a strong batting lineup that included PY, W1 and W2. At 12 bats i scored four half centries (with a highest of 81(84)), got an average of 42.5 and a strike rate of 95...not bad for a lower order mug
. My bowling was also at its best in the OD game getting 24 wickets at an average of 19.8, best bowling was 6-30 (which is about the same as my dev league best.).
4D Games
I struggled at times with both bat and ball, but ended up with a deacent average in both areas. A 178* and 42* against a fickle NY attack (
) boosted my batting averages no end, but other then that i was pretty poor. My bowling was rather substandard with a few big hauls bring my average down to about my career level of around 22-23.
As last season had a great time in the US, but might try to look for a bigger and better challenge next time the club contracts come around. It was great to play with a seasoned player like PY for the second season in a row, and hopefully all his wisdom and advice won't come to be in vain.
Gota go back to training now cause Coach Richard has the whip out.

Don't worry. It's all relative to skill. That stuff if generally for a batsman averaging in the 40s.Loony BoB said:
