D'you play cricket?

Deanology · 16-02-2009, 07:44 AM

Just seeing who plays cricket here..

Who's a batsman, bowler, all rounder, specialist fielder

Tell us about it.

Personally, I haven't been playing this last season, i only had 2 games, before being injured.
Both of which we lost terribly to teams we should have thrashed proper..

I am primarily a top-middle batsman usually.
I got next to no runs, i got two thin edges back to keeper and slips for single figures.
But got 2 wickets for 14 runs in my 2 games.
Snatched a couple of catches, and got 1 run out.

Tell, us your stories..

I play cricket a lot. Started about 7 years ago and I play reps as well. I'm the opening bowler and I bat number 6.

My best bowling figures are 5-3 off 4 overs but that match was against the Team coming last in the comp.

TheRealTomJones · 16-02-2009, 11:45 AM

I don't play for a team but if I did I'm a handy off-spinner but my confidence with the bat lets me down a bit!
When playing with my mates I'm usually quite defensive with the bat but this summer I'm gunna try to bring a bit of aggression in to my game and hopefully bowl with a bit more pace although I like bowling off-spin!
Also, my biggest cricketing talent is undoubtably fielding, I love taking stunning catches or running people out and I'm very good at this if I don't say so myself haha!

shefellover93 · 16-02-2009, 12:38 PM

Left arm fast medium bowler and i fancy myself as a middle order batsman!!

Wolff-Oso · 17-02-2009, 05:04 AM

Batsman.
Opening or No. 3
Decent run earner.

Subtekjr · 20-02-2009, 12:45 PM

Bowler: Anything but swing: 5 wickets for season

Aggressive Batsman that gets out too easily, got all 5 runs from season so far (12 games) on off-side, including thick edge that went through 2 slips lol

Crappy Fielder with fairly good accuracy for throw.

Ben-Markey · 10-04-2009, 07:06 PM

Well, I started playing about 2-3 years ago for a team, and I was never a pace bowler I just keep it slow and straight, But I've been learning the spin and now I can bowl the perfect googly. My Batting is quite poor, I'm a defencsive one Normally batting 8-9. I can play the odd dodgey shot as well as the odd 4.

Best Batting :
16* - * = not out. // faced 6 balls

Best Bowling :
8 - 3 = 2 Wides ;[

Good fielder, good acuracy, great catching and a nice quick burst about my fielding.

Mikkyk · 30-06-2009, 12:04 AM

and i'm only joking. I open the batting for school and club! I don't think i'm that good though. I prefer myself as a bowler - not an opener. I am economical but i can the odd wicket too. I think i'm a very good fielder. Anyone else open the batting who doesn't really want to?

~sufc695 · 03-07-2009, 05:33 PM

I play for my school and local team, usually third batsman. In youth cricket for my area, you have to retire on 25, which I usually achieve within about 5 overs.

I usually bowl 3-4 overs in (20Twenty/Twenty20) cricket, and get 2-3 wickets. My best bowling rate for a match was 17-5, off 4 overs.

Fielding, I'm not as confident with, but I like to get involved a lot. Get a catch every match, sometimes two. I don't go for the spectacular dives, though.

I've played wicket keeper once or twice, but I prefer staying to the field.

CricketCrazy16 · 05-07-2009, 01:05 AM

My last cricket game was an indoor one in school bout a year ago, hit about 17runs,1 six ,2 4's and a couple of singles lol

supahmann · 08-07-2009, 04:06 AM

I play for a club or I used to. I just don't see myself playing cricket anymore so I reckon I'll leave it. Mainly because I'm not very good :P

vickystormo · 17-07-2009, 09:15 AM

I have played a lot of cricket!Perhaps you know how it is worshipped in India just as football is worshipped in UK.

I am essentially a handy off spinner and look to stop runs more than take wickets.
I can bat at any spot and believe in rotating the strike.

I am also an aggresive fielder.

CALL_OF_FIFA · 13-08-2009, 05:38 PM

i play openign bowler and bat 4 for my county Notts u16
