I am a fast left hand bowler and a right handed batsmen. I can defend all right, but my strokes need a littie improvement. Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Johno on Monday, January 17, 2005, 21:03:40 when did you play for calne? cause i do too.

Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 00:02:23 I turned out for a handful of games in the summer in the Wiltshire league, can still purvey a mixture of swing and seam.......and can still bat a bit.
Unfortunately the fielding is a bit of a problem as I was never the best in the outfield, but sharp reflexes made up for that, now though they've become a bit dulled and its hugely frustrating, when catches you once would have taken crack you on the wrist. Still I dare say I'll turn out again if there's a need this summer. Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: STFCDude on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 08:03:52 I used to play for Sevenhampton. Number 4 batsmen here, scored my fair share of runs.
Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Zurich Red on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 08:32:55 I play for Winterthur - national league winners in 2000 and 2002 - but then there are only 16 teams in Switzerland, so it's not such an achievement. Used to play for Chalford in the Stroud League.
I bowl medium pace and am a confirmed number 11 as I have never scored more than 32 with the bat.

Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: janaage on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 09:17:38 I played for my mates team last year took two wickets with my slow medium pace, think the batsman got a little too over confident. Also took a catch Jonty Rhodes would have been proud of. But having said all that I then got a duck and am officially the shittest cricketer I have never seen.
Calne boys, you know Frank Key, Calne opener? How about Paul Merritt he used to play for Calne. The Dawson kiddies??

What do the locals make of it when they stumble across a cricket match? Generally they will stop and watch for about 5 minutes before deciding that they haven't a clue what is going on. I think one of the most confusing things for them is that both teams are wearing the same colour so they don't know who is trying to beat who. Of course explaining to my colleagues at work that a real game lasts 5 days always gets a laugh too. Surprisingly we do have a few Swiss in the club, but most of them picked up the game while in the UK or Australia etc. Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 18:13:04 When I was little I used to dream of being a striker and a racing car diver, but the thing I really really wanted to be was a fast bowler and take stumps out of the ground for England. Used to day dream about it at school.
Then I had a go at it for a while and wasnt too bad for my age. No I am embaressingly embaressinly bad. Cant do anything right. Depresses me to hell actually. So I never ever play cricket anymore. Sad eh? :oops: Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: DMR on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 18:31:46 Club(s): Devizes 4ths, Bishops Cannings
Bat: Numero 4 for Devvy, opener for BC Bowl: Ha! W/K for BC Top score of 117* for Cannings Utd U16s I also share the highest ever U17 partnership of 240 odd unbeaten with Charlie Moss Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: s.t.f.c on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 18:36:12 opening batsman 105 tp score :D bowl little pie leg breaks

Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 18:42:24 Who do you play for?
Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 20:18:30 With all this talent.....we could get up a team for a friendly in the summer.
I've a mate who's captaining a Wilts Sunday side next season, they're looking for fixtures. Sonic could do the scoring and STFCBird the teas.......Yeovil could umpire. And I could :beers all day. BTW I am joking Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Johno on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 07:24:44 Quote Calne boys, you know Frank Key, Calne opener?

The Dawson kiddies?? the dawson kiddies now play for chippenham as Liam is apprantley amazing and plays for hampshire. i got him out first bowl in the nets at school. 8) i know John Merritt? i do know someone at calne with a last name of key or use to!? [/quote] Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 08:30:58 Sounds like you'd be first change in the forum XI, Johno.
What's your fielding like? I see you swooping round the boundary and arrowing in throws over the stumps. Am I right? Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 09:52:03 i have neva played 4 a club b4 altough ive been told i should. if i did play i would be an all rounder who can bat a bit but whos main strengh would be right arm fast bowling. wooo hooo arnt we all good talking about cricket on a football forum? :D
Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Zurich Red on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 09:54:15 Having come from the backwaters of Glos I rather overestimated my ability and decided to try out for the Uni team in my first year. The trial consisted of half an hour bowling at a young Nasser Hussain off a four-pace run up. I think he played one defensive shot.
Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: janaage on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 10:14:02 Yeah I heard Liam's pretty handy on the cricket field. Bradley's not that bad either is he, but I heard he's not as interested as Liam.
Frank Key, is known as Fred I think at Calne. John Merritt's not relating to former Swindon hooli Paul aka Ducky Merritt. Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 12:57:22 I play for good ole' Goatacre!
Play with Merritt too! Wahey! Game got called off last year cos he kept slippin up on the wicket when he bowled wahey! I am a right arm "fast" bowler. Took 2-12 in a school game last year off 4 overs against the league champs! Shit in bat tho Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: janaage on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 13:01:20 Ducky Merritt's well funny, he was in our year at school. Didn't realise he still played for Goatacre. Has he still got a duck's arse?
Does Wittsy still play for the G too? Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: Johno on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 16:00:29 nah wittsy plays for winsley.
Reg mate..... i would be the opening bowler. steaming in!..... 8) Title: cricketers of the forum Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, January 20, 2005, 15:37:28 I would describe it as more of an elephant's arse to be honest.
