Real Life Cricket

Well done Koop, same thing happened to my side today... 50 over game, slumped to 4/13 and I got us to 4/75 before I got a peach of a delivery and was bowled... Bowled out for 98 though haha

I made 21 btw, my partner got 47

Same thing happened to me last year. I came to the crease at 8/115. Me and the other batter put on 80 runs in 8 overs. We always had good partnerships. In a t20 game we were batting together. We put on 60 in 4. I got dropped 3rd ball for 0. Went on to make 37 off 15. Hit both openers for six. First over cover, second was a straight drive

Disappointing loss today. Opened the batting and dismissed for 9 sparking a collapse. All out for 89 batting out only 22 overs. Took 4 with the ball and we looked a show of an upset early, but ended up getting soundly beaten....

Played my first game of cricket earlier this year. It was a game of college "gentleman's" 20/20 earlier this year. Basically so many people signed up, we had a bowling and a batting team. For my one over, I got 2/14. So many wides, but the ones I put on the pitch were good. One got lofted to the lad at deep mid-wicket, who took a lovely chest mark (great bruise in the morning!). The second one was a slower ball which tore through middle stump :D

Such a good day, I got "unofficial" man of the match for our team (we lost by a fair bit, lol) and so I was in the boot of a car drinking a 2 week old beer which was lying in our captain's car. It was about 30C, but goddamn, it was a delicious trophy!

batted for 25 overs today, came in at 3/17 in the 7th over (we were 0/16 after 5) and finished the day at 8/169 after 32 overs, top scored with a slow but unbeaten 52 which should hopefully push my claims to get into the school 1st XI next week   8)

it was a two-day game and we lost in the end but we didn't lose outright so that was good

i took 2 catches in the final over of my indoor game to avoid defeat keeping their best batsman off strike  8)

Good stuff Tom, hopefully you get there sooner rather than later, keep putting the runs on the board like that and you'll be there in no time :)

In juniors this morning pretty uneventful game from a personal point of view, came in at 4 with a couple of overs to go with the opener on 90-ish so got run-out on the last ball of the over trying to get him the strike but that's fine, needed to be done.

In seniors in the afternoon managed to make 53* (one dayer and a new rule this year is that you have to retire at 50 which is a touch gay) and managed to pick up 2 fa so pretty handy day at the office.

Congrats on the 50s Tom and RB :)

Got 2/24 off 5 for Adelaide High this morning vs Prince Alfred College, then for Glenelg in the afternoon got 4/18 of 7.3 overs vs Sturt, came in into the attack relatively early and bowled a 5 over spell which went wicketless for 11 runs, then came on again just after tea when they were 6 down and ripped through their tail, as leg spinners tend to do. Second spell 4/7 off 1.3 :) so 6/42 off the days play, which brings my season total to 10/66 off 20.3 overs, really hitting a purple patch so far this summer. As I only nabbed 7 wickets for school and 8 for District with West Torrens last year makes me the 2nd best bowler in the whole Under  16 whites comp this year (Jayman and Tominator would know what that is.) But thats bound to drop as only 4 out of the 14 teams have confirmed there scores for today with mycricket ( you can check my district scores on mycricket as well just to see Im not lying. ;) )

hahah 3 games a weekend would absolutely kill me at this stage. :P Did toy with the idea of trying out for Flinders Park, but that never eventuated.

Cricket is a dog of a game. Go out there, get a gem of the ball first up and there is nothing you can do. :(

Looks like my retirement lasted 3 games, been talked into heading back to training on Thursday.

[roo boys!]

You're not alone there Jay...at least I lasted 3 balls :P
