die hard doonhamer Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Played a pre-season game yesterday. I’ve never been so cold on a cricket pitch, I was sat scoring the book in our batting innings with 5 layers on. Late April should not be this cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started bowling with tennis balls last week in an attempt to make another comeback. I'd played 25 straight seasons until covid, and haven't thrown anything since. My arm didn't fall off, so we're still on track. Also been playing the cricket game on meta quest to get my eye in. It's not the same, but still fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same, but still fun. First league game yesterday, we got pumped (some late wickets made it look closer than it ever really was). 4 overs 0-18 for me, not great, not awful. On to next week we go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) A late change of venue meant there was some minor counties NCCA T20 action at Oxton Cricket Club. Cheshire had played Cumbria yesterday, over in The Real Housewives of Cheshire territory (I am not a viewer). Today they played Northumberland in a double-header. Northumberland won the morning game and Cheshire won in the afternoon. Both sides had players hitting fifties during an enjoyable day's play.

And also to pick himself for the first test without knowing what his form and fitness is going to be like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted Saturday at 19:08 Share Posted Saturday at 19:08 Yeah. I do think it’s time and it’s just letting Anderson get one last test without being dropped unceremoniously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
