Post by: Johno on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 21:27:55
Played first game today. Lost by 46 runs. i only bowled 3 overs as i was meant to come on at the end, but the other guy bowled well so they kept him on, oh well.

i batted at 10 and hit 10...2 nice 4s, i found the middle of my bat for a change  8)

I turned down the chance to play for Marcham 2nds because of the footy. Should be playing next week. Would love to have played, we were up against Shrivy and a friend of the family plays for them.

We got caned.

We bowled first and they got 310-4, with their ringer (playing his first game for them because he's fallen out with their firsts) got a ridiculous 194.

We were all out for 150 in reply, I got 34.

we made it 2 wins out of 2 with a win over fellow championship challengers tewkesbury by 3 wickets in the last over, on a very slow wicket which made run scoring difficult. i managed a drawn out, paitent, but vital 35

Blunsdons wicket was ace. They'd forgotten to roll it and it rained all day too.

I think our captain rated it 0.

had to add some on here from last week...

played malmesbury and i bowled 6 overs 3-18. was on a hattrick ball but bowled a yorker and it went to wide.  :(  my first wicket was lbw, next on was bowled (batsman hit it into the ground, hit the back of his bat and hit the stumps  :soapy tit wank: ) then a catch at backward square leg...

we lost by about 50 runs though and i hit 3 not out at number 10  8)

2 sixes and 4 fours I think.

Only went in with 10 overs left so had to try and move it on, put on 80-odd with our opener Tom (105*) in 9 overs. Fucking fit bugger kept running two's  :D  :?

Any sport you can play for five days and ends up as a draw at the end is a waste of five days.

Unless it's ladies beach volleyball of course.  :D

Ian Botham played for Scunthorpe United, but went on to be Englands greatest ever Cricketer. So theres one who made a good choice!

And as for cricketers who wish they were footballers, just Pietersen and Chad Keegan I rekon.

kp admitted before the last euros that he'd never followed football as a kid but his england a team mates had got him into it. back home he always played rugby and cricket. being a fellow saffie i imagine keegan is the same.

Loads of recent England cricketers have had trials as footballers... Thorpe, Stewart, Simon Jones off the top o' my head
