Highest Backyard Score!

[Dragz]

Around 140. But considering that over the fence was 6 and out, through and open Window was 6 but hitting a window was out and the fence was most of the legside and behind the stumps and the house was a 3 story place covering mid-on to Mid off.

Hitting the fence was 2 runs, the entire fence area behind the batsman was out.

Strangely, we played for about 6 years at that place and only broke one window, with an outside edge that bunted back. Ironic considering teh amount of balls that were smashed into those windows.

Real Cricket, 108 (Only Century)
Indoor Cricket 114

That Indoor Cricket. Admittedly, the score was with a batting partnership, but you don't score 100 run partnerships with only one of you hitting the ball

8 a side, 16 overs, 8 ball overs, minus 5 for wickets.

That's a huge partnership haha, where did you used to play?

Best indoor cricket partnership was 85, best thing was it was a semi-final as well

That was when Merino St was still operational

5/153 (we played 2 innings 5 wicket timeless matches) and didn't really record the individual scores.

The pitch conditions and field (lots of fielders) were definitely in the bowlers conditions.

I often would get wickets by ripping a massive off break about a meter outside off stump which the batsman would be happy to leave, but then would grip on a bit of rough surface and turn back violently at the stumps causing the basman to either chop down on it and nick it to the Darren Berry like auto wickie or be too late and get bowled.

Our rules were 2 innings, 5 wickets each, timeless, using one old and one new incrediball (you start off bowling with the new ball for something like 5 overs and then switch to the old for 10 and repeat) and you had to nominate at the start of the innings 5 bowler types and use them for each over.

Wickets had to be by consensus with the classic 'don't be a douche' stipulation but the batsman had 2 'overrules' he could use each innings to break a deadlock if he was adamant.

Good fun.

That one was at Cypress Street.

Highest at Merino Street was 101 or 104 I think.

I'm not much of a slogger at indoor cricket, I was the team's 'accumulator', highest partinership I was involved in was 80 odd.

Good going! Only ever saw 1 100 run stand, and that was juniors at Cypress St

Was involved in a -41 run partnership once also, and it didn't even involve losing the plot because we we're still in the chase the whole time

Not going to divulge my top score with the bat (although my batting style certainly would not be suited to 20 over games, possibly even 50 over games). But I did manage to concede a 26 run over once.

Not out 2058. I was playing against my sister and it got dark.

Just found this gem of a thread.

Backyard Cricket: was at a friends house and scored 110 in 40 degree heat, tonking his younger brothers to all parts of the ground.
Park cricket: had a gathering of all my mates and only 3 of us played cricket at the time. I top scored with 90-odd then got cleaned up by the A-Grade bowler
Lunch-time school cricket: Me and a mate batted for 3 days straight, each of us scoring double tons in year 6. He got caught behind, ramping on 290 and i nicked to slip, trying to reverse sweep for 284. My previous high had been in year 3, when i made 230, and was forced to retire by a teacher.
Computer cricket: 3/1090dec. This is on World Cricket Championship, where i set the opposition to potato difficulty, and made one guy score 450. declared because it was getting a bit boring
Real cricket: 30. Sadly I am yet to carry my blistering form from other forms into an actual game, but theres still plenty of time!
