Real Life Cricket

I'm in my school's first XI this season. Haven't bowled and have been batting down at 9, 10 and 11 so far, hard to get a look in with the Year 12s we have!

Didn't play this week (cos Year 12s were back from exams) but I batted earlier this season twice, and have made scores of 6no off 4 balls, and 3no off 2 balls .... so I have a 1st XI career strike rate of 150   8)

hahaha, elite, I've never heard of a school's XI, is it just a competition or an actual league?

[CrowsFan]

You've school doesn't have first XI teams for cricket, soccer etc?

Maybe it's more of a private school thing. But basically you just compete against the other schools to see who is the best :)

Yeah pretty much an intra-schools competition. 1st XI is for cricket and soccer, 1st XVIII is for footy, 1st VIII for rowing, etc, etc

I just got the call my body has been dreading, looks like I'm donning the whites this Saturday for the first time since playing District in Darwin 11 years ago 😳

It's gonna hurt.

Had a bit of a break from cricket since winning the bowling trophy for the 16 whites Glenelg district cricket team last season due to mental issues, but put the whites on again on the weekend to play community under 17's, man, I tell you, I missed it so bloody much, got to bowl 1 over at the end, apart from the first ball being hit back over my head for 6 and the next one a close LBW appeal that got turned down, it was great. Theyre coming out the hand really well too, pitching just outside leg and turning back onto an off-stump line with plenty of flight. Good to be back, even if it is in the bottom leagues. 8)

We made 231 off our 40 overs, I came in with two balls to go, 1 not out. Fielded in gully and took two catches to have them 5 for 92 at drinks. We bowled them out for 115 soon after. I didn't bowl but I am feeling the pinch of running to deep third man when the keeper missed a few. Good team effort and a great bunch of lads, fun times.

Played against brodie smith in a charity t20 today. Nice guy!

[roo boys!]

Onya Roost! Is that you done for the season? Time to hang up the spikes again?

Talk about feeling the effects.... 128 overs in the field yesterday. Bowled 25 of them. Fair to say little movement was had today on my behalf haha

That post was the day after, (and after the wife's Xmas show) and I am feeling it old mate 😣

Doesn't look like it RB, Stereosonic is on here in Adelaide this week and the younger brigade have already bailed, meaning I'm suiting up again this week.
I have to remember to not rock up in my whites otherwise it's another fine.
It's pretty cool these days to see your results in Weetbix MyCricket hey 😎
