* Right Hand Bat
* Wicketkeeper
* Right Arm Medium/Right Arm Off and Leg-Spin Bowler (yep, I'm a jack of all trades in the bowling scene, master of none)
* Open the batting, number three.
* Bowl whenever the going gets real tough, or I want to bowl, which is very rarely as I am the main keeper... one or two overs a season at best! :p
* Highest Score: 61 not out. (We have to retire in juniors at the end of an over once we pass 50!! :mad: I've made 50 or over eight times now)
* Best Bowling: 1/0 ;)
* Most dismissals: 5 (three caught and two stumpings)
I play U15 Juniors, games are played over two weekends, and 55 overs each team. It is common practice in juniors that everyone bats and everyone bowls.

Right hand bat
right arm medium
Bat: 3 to 9 (depending on how short we are)
Bowl: whenever given the ball, but I'm generally a wicketkeeper.
High Score: 84. But have only scored one 50 in the past six seasons.
High score this season: 28.
Best Bowling: 5/51
Best bowling this season: 1/11 from nine overs.
fields: covers/mid-wicket
Right Hand bat
Right Arm medium
Bat: 10-11
Bowl: Open
High Score: 5*
Average: Less than five....
BB: acouple of five fors, can't remember how many runs for each tho.
Field: covers, square leg.
Only a couple of years during High School did I play. I simply could not bat, and was the reason I gave it away.
My bowling was my feature I wasn't very fast but I could mix pace well and bowl a good off cutter coming back into the right hander from over the wicket.
The gap between my bowling abilities and my batting abilities is probably as big as it gets.
My high score was actually in my first ever innings.... I never reached the lofty heights of 5 not out ever again, although I had a few 0, 1's and 2's not out as I batted deep in the tail.
Right Hand Bat
Right Arm medium

Highest Score: 32*
Bowl: 1st or 2nd change
Best Bowling 4/8- inc. bowling a wide on my hat trick delivery
Fielding: either keep, field in the gully in the first 10-15 overs, then boundary rider coz im reasonably quick over the outfield

batting: 10 or 11. Best 24*, and I'll remember that innings forever. Average of probably about 2.

Forgot to mention my fielding position.
Slot right in at either second slip or at cover, depending on the position of the game.
If i had a choice, i'd field at mid wicket though, far more opportunities there.

Bat- Opener
Highest score- 117 not out,

Well you've prompted me to follow suit.
Started as a bat pad (before I discovered I could bowl), before playing as either a slip or point.
