Did a search but couldn't find anything.
How have we all been going fellas? I'm in my first season of U17s. Today was the end of the first game for us as our first round was a bye. Last week we got bowled out for 93. I made a solid 1 from 1 ball not out. I thought we had no chance of winning. But we romped them in to win by 38 runs. I took 2/4 from 6 overs.
Some of you may have seen MightyPies around here, well he plays on my team and took 2 wickets in 2 balls and 4 catches. He was awesome and won MOTM.
I wish I had one of those catches though, because another kid (Not MightyPies) was on a hattrick, and I dropped the hattrick ball at slip low to my right.
Ala Shane Warne (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=IEtdchOGH6k) except mine was harder. :p
He said don't worry, but I know deep down he was pissed off. lol

Don't worry about that catch sean.
A few years ago for club cricket once i was walking back to my fielding position at long on to turn around to walk in with the bowler when i looked up and saw the ball coming straight for me, needless to say i shelled it.
One game i dropped 3 catchs in an innings.
In a rep game once we had our arch rivals on the ropes when they were chasing our target and you could literally see the rain coming over the horizon.
A few balls later and i dropped a relatively easy catch only for the rain to come a ball later (that ball was nicked through slip) and for the rain to cause play to end early. The other team had no home of winning but somehow they were awarded the game for their superior run rate :rolleyes:.
Anyway as the rain was coming over the horizon the set batsmen started taking guard and then deciding he wanted to take another guard and basically just stuffing around wasting time waiting for the rain to come then he wanted the other batsmen to tie his shoe up.
On the way off i asked the batsmen if he wanted me to undress him when we got back to the sheds and they both sledged me about the catch.
On the way off

i play u/17s
only made 9 with the bat in an innings that included two 4's (one inside edge and a very nicely timed straight drive) then got bowled going for the slog.
i bowled 2 overs and got 0/0 (ecomonical) bowling pup clarke style left arm offies
we lost by 4 wickets, decent match that
Meh haven't been going to badly but not overly good either.
Made scores of 10, 20, 34 and 13 batting at 4 in our club's 2's which is C Grade for our competition.
So far I'm at 77 runs @ 19.25.

Made 80 odd today with the bat playing first grade up here in Queensland.
Bit of controversy during the day when a player fielding tried to run out my batting partner at the time by breaking the stumps at the end of the over as the other batsmen was coming down to talk to me between the over. The fielder claimed the batsmen left his crease before the ump called over but he was given not out.
A bit of a riot started after this up on the hill at the ground where some young guys were watching the game and cheering on some fast bowler playing for the other team. They were obviously getting drunker and drunker.
Anyway got 81 off 102 balls before getting given out LBW to a searing yorker.
We are 305/4 at the end of day 1 with day 2 and day 3 to be played next weekend.
i play un 17's my first year aswell and our team are versing willi

Can't train so A grade was interesting, made a duck in the 1st innings then 16 not out off about 50 in the 2nd :D .
Hoping to be dropped down to Bs and find some form as it will be harder in As when I can't train and usually bat lower order.
Well...
U/16s: First game was a one-dayer. We batted first and we're 3/106 after our 25 overs. Only managed to make 2. In the field (well, behind the stumps) we got them all out for 62. Contributed with two stumpings and a runout as the keeper.
The second game was over two days. We sent them into bat first and they we're 188 after their 40 overs. Again I got among the play as a keeper with 2 catches and a stumping. Batting the next week after 20 overs we we're 0/77. It was looking ok but a bit slow. We ended up falling short by 22 runs. Made a second ball duck.
Now in the game I'm currently playing, we elected to field and got them all out for 106. Took one skied catch (which I almost stuffed up). Having 15 overs left to bat we ended up 1/41 with 40 overs to go. Looking like a wins coming up.
Seniors (I Grade): Played my first game on Saturday and they made 236 after 47. Contributed with a stumping and a run out. We're 5/36 after 15 overs and I'm next in.
Stumpings: 4
Catches: 3
Run-outs: 2

First match was a twenty/20
they scored 77 and we easily got the total losing just one wicket in the first over (LBW- a very bad call). :thumbsu:
Second game
We bowled them out for 173 of 55 overs and we scored 215 in reply :thumbsu:
third game
again a 55 over match. We lost the toss and batted first. the grass was very long which made it hard to score runs. i was batting number 10 as i rocked up right as the game was about to start because my alarm clock decided not to work and the game was at torquay; a 45 minute drive. we were in a slump and were 8/123 when i walked in with 10 overs to go and at stumps we were 8/167. Not the best score- but competitive.
Come back the next week and the cocks had cut the grass so it turned a very slow outfield to a very fast one. we bowled well, but failed to get wickets and this came back to bite us and we recorded our first loss for the season. :thumbsd:

Game 1: DNP
Game 2: DNP
Game 3: 46* (off probably about 60 balls) and 0/47 (I think) off 7 overs. Got spanked in my second spell. Was a one dayer.
B grade has the bye in Game 4, so I went to watch A grade and was 12th man.

Made a nice 4 not out from 5 balls. :p
We were 5 for 19 until 2 of our blokes put together a partnership of 99. We ended up making a nice 140. Wasn't the best conditions either. It was freezing cold.

E-Grade..
in the middle of a two dayer(yesterday and next saterday).
We elected to bowl first, I opened and got the opener with a pearling outswinger caught at slip, for a duck. but from there the team went down hill! They ended up making 317 off there 72 overs( a days play). I got 3/48 off 14 overs. I bat about number 9 so if we crumble next week i might have to get a 50 or something:D not a chance!

Bowled them out for 176, had them 2/8 early but their best bat (And probably the 2nd best in the comp) came in at 4 so at tea they were 2/116, they were scoring slowly and it didn't help we put 4 catches down for the day :thumbsd: (I wasn't a culprit however).
After tea we took 4 wickets in about 8 overs (Including an idiotic runout that started the rot) but the tail wagged a little and held us up. We had 15 overs to bat and are 1/63 (We have the best bat in the comp, came out at 3 and made 34 in about 8 overs :D ). If the guy who is 34* stays in for 15 overs next Sat we'll be guaranteed 1st innings and maybe have a chance at an outright if we can hold our catches.
I can bowl a little bit of offspin but definitely won't get a bowl in As anytime soon, so fielded at gully all day. Usually bat lower order which is why I'd probably rather play B grade and bat a lot higher up.

How many of you play in comps that use MyCricket? You can link to all your stats with that.
Anyway yesterday we lost by 2 runs. I play in A3 seniors in Manly Warringah. We were playing the 6th grade Manly side who play in our comp. They're like all the developing 15 year olds. We should have won easy, bowled them out for 135 last week. I picked up 4/26. The problem is our best batsman, who's averaged 71 for the last two seasons, broke his finger last game. So we ended up 2 runs short.

Just started playing senior cricket for the first time this year after 3 years of not playing at all and I am enjoying it big time. Missed the first game with work then in the second game got 1 with the bat and none for 11 off 8 overs with the ball. We smashed them. This game just finished yesterday we got smoked and I bowled pus in my first spell but come back in the second and bowled 1 for 58 off 13 overs. Looking forward to the next game as we are on turf for the first time this season and being the opening pace bowler I should see a better effort from myself and hopefully we win.
Played 'b's yesterday, 40 over one dayer, opened the batting and made a scratchy 4, before being comprehensively bowled, team made 169, and we bowled them out for 84, got to bowl my offies and ended up with 3 for not many, I think it should've been 4 for, but a stumping was called a runout I think, I haven't looked at the score sheets, dropped a sharp catch off my own bowling and had another put down off me as well.
Last game was in the 'A's and we won that as well, made 257, of which I contributed 42 from about 35 overs and had numerous chances, bowled them out for 181, so the club is going ok atm.
The A's won a onedayer yesterday too.:thumbsu:

We were 5 for 19 until 2 of our blokes put together a partnership of 99. We ended up making a nice 140. Wasn't the best conditions either. It was freezing cold.Coincidence? I took 5/19 today bowling my great leg spinners. That makes 7/23 in 2 games this season. That's quite a nice start.
In my first over I took 3 wickets. First wicket was caught at deepish square leg, next ball bowled the guy around his legs (If you read my last game, I did it then as well). Then for my hattrick ball I tried the toppy but it was a wide. Ahh well, I've already taken a hattrick before. :p Got another wicket 2 balls later. My 2nd over, I took another 2 wickets. My coach said that I had 4/4 at one stage. After 1.3 overs I had 5 wickets. :eek: I bowled pies for the next 4 overs and couldn't get my 6th wicket. But it's my best figures and I go MOTM. :)
My previous best was 4/14 from a couple of years ago.
We bowled em out for 101 and won by 39 runs.

Started another 2 day game this today, won the toss and batted on a nice wicket with a tinge of grass.
Opened up and lost my partner clean bowled in the 3rd over, 1 / 5.
The next batsmen lasted 2 balls before going LBW, 2/5.
Me and the next batsmen put on 50 odd before he went caught behind for 28.
3/70.
I ended up getting 95 before i got done by an quicker flatter arm ball from a offspinner and the bat got caught behind my back flap and i was out plumb LBW.
Ended up at stumps 8/395. At the ground where we play at we always have trouble with idiots who drive past yelling and beeping horns, shouting "balling warnie". The road is a notorious drag strip and its only a 50 zone, the local cricket association had been on to the police for a month about idiots that drive past during the game and today the cops sent up a radar trap and the copper running it decided to come and watch the cricket from under the shaded area. Needless to say a few people would have got caught today, everytime some idiot would speed past a guy at first slip would mutter to the keeper "got him, yes" in a bill lawry voice.
Classic stuff.

Did you try out for Hatch or Dowling this year/last year?
Yesterday I had 0/10 off 5 overs opening the bowling and then in my second spell got carted by a guy who made 108*. But I took a wicket with the second last ball of the innings at least.

Haha, juniors was so easy.
I was a wicket keeper, but I broke my thumb on my left hand so I was placed down at mid-off.
I was put on to bowl and I got 3/1 in 2 overs before being taken off for no apparent reason.
I was bowling trashy off spinners as well.
One of my mates got 7/2 in under 17's in 5 overs including a hatrick (all bowled middle stump). He then got another wicket 2 balls later (once again bowled middle stump). On the previous over he was on a hatrick as well.

Not much of a start to the year for me
Team is 3-1 and equal top but poor NRR. Personally, I have 2 runs at 0.66 :o and 4 wickets at 24 opening the bowling.
Got 2/32 yesterday in the worst conditions... wind was just howling over the ground, which helped my inswinger... managed to bowl a couple of unplayable balls which picked up the wickets, but the rest was just poo.
Had them 9/120 chasing 220... the last pair hit 75 in 10 overs to scare us a little, but got them for 195

What level of cricket you play? You seem quite the player. I'd love to play on a turf pitch, it'd be awesome.
Alternate between 2nd and First grade, about 50/50 in both. My form in 2nd grade is good but in first grade i have struggled at times.
Thats a great effort to bowl spin successfully on non-turf wickets sean, i presume you play on Astro turf, wait till you get to turf, you like it a lot more being a spin bowler.

Played thirds again on the weekend. We lost the toss and were sent in to bat. The pitch was quite green and had a few cracks on it...i would most definately say it had more for the bowlers than the batsmen. This turned out to be true as we were 7 for 87. Then a couple of blokes come in and one of them is a gun and he smashed his way to 67. Anyway he got out and the next guy that came in got out fairly cheap. I enter at 11th which i was happy to be at. First couple of balls i am just blocking them then bang a big six lol just slogged it over midwicket. Because I only played juniors before this that was the first one i'd ever hit :thumbsu:. Anyway i end up with 33no (which btw is ****en amazing for myself as i am the biggest rabbit ever) and the other guy i was batting with gets 43 and we had a 60 run partnership for the final wicket which gets us to 210. We bowled a few overs and I got to open, the ball is doing a bit so i am looking extremely forwards to next week.

Alternate between 2nd and First grade, about 50/50 in both. My form in 2nd grade is good but in first grade i have struggled at times.
Thats a great effort to bowl spin successfully on non-turf wickets sean, i presume you play on Astro turf, wait till you get to turf, you like it a lot more being a spin bowler.What's so hard to bowl spin on astro turf? It's heaps easy.

The other week I made a dodgy 7 not out before I ran outta batting partners. I'm the wicketkeeper so never bowl but yeah took a nice catch but sadly my team were all out for about 90 odd when the opposition made 150 odd.

The ball grips so much more on turf.
I'm no good, but when I bowl, it's offies (I normally keep). Only do anything on turf, because you get so much more turn.

Had a pretty good season. Took 12 wickets at an average of just over 11. Made only 40 runs for the season at number 10, but only went out twice. :p
Half the games were T20s so I reckon I could've taken more wickets if we were playing 45 over games.
Team didn't go well, only won 2 games for the season.
