Any cricketers on the board?

[Big_D231]

Just wondering if there are any cricketers on the board. If so what association do you play in. Thought this could be a good place to discuss during cricket season. Could be good to see if there are few people from the same associations around

Ill start off, I play in the para districts cricket association.

yep, barossa light & gawler cricket association

 

[cammo6556]

Eastern Cricket Association in Melbourne (i know, not what the OP was getting at)

 

[SugarShane]

Murray Towns Cricket Association here.
Personally, talented batsman (normally 4 or 5) but generally too impatient to rack up a decent total (averaged 20 odd last season).
Top notch fielder (won the association trophy last season).
Average medium bowler, generally on the spot and economical but not a big wicket taker.

Starting to lose the love i had of cricket in years gone by though. I used to count down the weeks until the season started but now it's starting to be a bit more of a chore.

ditto... the prospect of preseason training isnt exactly fantastic either.

Ill play anything from shield to 5th XI and havent trained since 2006. Opening bowler with shoulder issues, I tried my hand at going the tonk up the order and flogged the association batting average. I only ran 80 or 90 times during the season. Felt like a thief. Lazy fielder (slips or willing to wear one by fielding at silly mid off to avoid running) but I can take a catch if I have to...

Overall, an average cricketer, average bloke and champion drinker

This, first season I don't intend on playing cricket in living memory. Cbf.

Good to see a few cricketers around the place. Personally i havent reached the stage where its becoming a chore. I probably havent played for long enough for that to occur, even though this would be my 11th season im still young (19) so i still love getting out there, even in the preseason.

In actual fact i think this year would be the most excited iv ever been about a season. I think its a combination of the prospect of a full time a grade gig as a spinner, as opposed to the pie chucker i used to be in the lower grades and coming into the season with confidence i got from playing in the As last year and the knowledge that i can actually play with the so called 'guns' and hold my own. (Got the association leading run scorer out both times i played against him) That and being about 15 kilos lighter then the end of last season helps

Yep, play grade cricket.

Can't wait for the season to start. Was sick of football about halfway through the season.

At least this year of footy had a happy ending I guess.
