I remember reading in the paper that the seconds played Erdington Court and someone called Steve Hinton got a couple of wickets.

Well we are top of the Somerset League Div 4 Most points out of any side in any league but as we were relegated last year we want and expect to be promoted.
Numbers 2 and 3 put on 130 but we only managed 212 Wicket was more difficult with older ball. Did my usual upping the tempo in the last few overs
scampering plenty of quick singles and annoying fielders!! Bowled by one that didnt bounce.
They got of to a screamer. Opener hitting the ball everywhere. All in the air though and his luck ran out after 4 overs with him on 30 odd. Middle of their innings plodded on seemingly dawdling to a win for us but they kept going and at 8 or so an over managed to get it down to 35 odd off 4 with 4 wickets in hand. I took two catches - one a beauty running backwards over my shoulder and one a simple dolly.
Muggins here gets to bowl 42nd and 44th overs. Due to elbow injury no longer bowling fast (did I ever?) but now slow crap nothingness using my brain to out think the bat. First bowl in league this season nerves aplenty. First over goes for 9 not too bad. We got their opener out in the next over so 2 overs to go 21 to win and 3 wickets left.
Faster Yorker to bowler who had just been told to have a whack Bowled
Scampered a single to get batsman' down the right end. One
Hits me dead straight and long on and off conspire to get in each others way. Ball trickles over boundary. Four. BLAST
Slightly slower. hits me again straight surely only a single. Big bowler slow to turn around but they run. OK throw and I dismantle the stumps to run out despite dispairing dive!!
So 8 balls to go 2 in my over batsman facing rabbit at the other end 15 to win. I reckon he is going to try and hit me straight again a shot he played very well so faster shorter ball hoping for a skier and he 'punts' it (baseball term I think) about 4 yards and sets off like a whippet shouting yes. I set off like an old spaniel and arrive at the stumps with the ball to find the two batsmen at the other end beginnning to walk off the opitch. Knock a bail off anbd we won!!
Two tight finishes in two games and we won them both. Last weeks was destroyed by extreme unsportsmanship behaviour from other side so this one left a much nicer feeling in the mouth but wow those end of games nerves get no better!!!

School practice today, looks like this could be the first time we put a proper team out since I've been there.
Team's not bad, lack of bowling depth though. Our first match is first week after half time, and as I'm not keeping there's a decent chance I'm the frontline spinner, which shows how little depth there is.

Ashes effect! This is what the Exeter Express and Echo thinks of the "Freddie Factor"...
I got ten overs in at Blundell's School today before it hammered it down as I was about to bring myself on to bowl. Is God trying to tell me something?
Meanwhile, Exeter St James continued their mission of inflicting suffering upon me at any possible opportunity. Our under 12s imploded from 14/0 to 31/8 as nine-year-old Tom (this kid is going to be very good) returned the moderately acceptable figures of 4-3-1-5. He's on nineteen for 2006 so far... that's five more than I've got, ever.

Neil, did you see- Upottery U11s won a match! The kids beat Seaton, kept em down to 55 and then they knocked them off. I think it's the first time. They must be very proud. Don't know what happened to the U15 section though.
In other news, I am about to follow you as the second cricketwebber to appear on University Challenge. 12th of June is the recording date. Should be fun.

I did notice that - great effort. Unfortunately we won't play them this season as there are so many teams the league has had to split into East/West divisions at U11, U13 and U15.Chubb said:

Spookily, my recording date was 12 June, too!
