Too big to remember. I even had a six-deficit in that match...1 six batting compared to how many off your bowling? How big is the 6 deficit?

Well I recall he went for at least 5 sixes on his Exeter debut...1 six batting compared to how many off your bowling? How big is the 6 deficit?
And on that note... my career record is, astoundingly, two sixes.
I don't remember the first, though.

I'm drawing with you, and it's more like 1 1/2 for me because there is massive debate as to whether the first one was acctualy a 6(it was called by my team mates who later denied it crossed the boundary without bouncing).
I'm not that bad a player, i think i should be able to get myself into my clubs first team before i'm 20 with any luck(though i'm 4/3s level atm)
I'd be the best player for Liverpool schools U15s if i wanted to play for them and i think i could probably get relatively far in Lancs trials if someone ever offered me one.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
"Wagga Syndrome" right there. Suggest you move to Sydney and tear it up in Grade cricket.
I know i'm terrible it's just that the batsmen haven't worked it out yet so i keep getting wickets...
unlike most i have worked hard to steadily move down the ladder, started off playing junior reps/and district for DD; played for my Uni a coupla times at uni games and a coupla seasons in grade (nothing special 4's and a coupla outings in 3's); Degree/Career made training impossible so i spent the next few season playing A-grade park cricket and a bit of Martin Shield till i got sick of being told off for turning up hungover (despite topping the wicket column) So this season joined a coupla mates and playing in a lower grade againts people who look like they've never seen a bat beofre.
Having an absolute ball, we're undefeated and sealed the minor prem mid-season, case of beer at every game, and a nice fat kitty from all the ducks and dropped catches to pay for an end of season celebration

I had 1 trial for Auckland under-19s
Also, dunno if he'd like me bringing this up, but Blaze played for Wellington under-17s in the national tournament.

yeah... I was a slow left arm bowler, who couldn't turn the ball very much.I had 1 trial for Auckland under-19s

I wish I was right handed, I would have loved to have had a crack at leg spin.

Show off! I've never hit one, unless you count backyard cricket. Haven't been hit for too many either though.
EDIT: In fact I can only think of being hit for one, and I bowled him the next ball.

I'm alright just really inconsistent and unsure about my own game. I can score quickly without talking risks, can score really quick taking risks and can bat defensive without taking risks. I have lately been taking the latter one, as that's what's been needed of me, but i just can't go for it any more. I'm just too afraid of getting out. I almost hit a six today though, hooking their opening bowler, just bounced before the boundary.

Played for Victoria Under 15 the year after Jack I believe but back injuries took away my all-rounder status and I haven't been the same since. Played for Buckinghamshire under 16 ina private tournament on the Isle of Wight (geeze not sure how to spell it). Was able to play as an Australian as the ECB didn't run the compeitition. Faced the then Under 17 England opening bowler, some tall fast left armer. He had some solid pace on him.

I like to think I'm quite good, but when I see other players of my age, I realise that I'm pretty crap compared to them 
I love playing though, which is the best for me.

I reckon he is a couple of years too old. I think if my memory serves me right he was from Devon.
