Same here.

This particular inning I knew how many runs (not balls) however for some reason.

Played with a guy who would count his runs and everyone elses once.

I have played with two guys who have counted their runs in 30 years - they were both opening bats.

I count my runs, I knew when I was on 99 before getting my 100, was really hoping to avoid the number too.

Bowled out for 65 thanks to some piss-poor umpiring. Another duck for me, despite seeing it quite before getting a damn good ball.

Respond by skittling them for 24, 7 bowleds and 2 pathetic lbws. Opener took 6/12.

won the toss and bowled for only the second time this season (first time to send them in) - for percentage reasons tbh. got 3/12 myself up front which was good

old mate at the other end returned 7-6-1-1 ha! and the 1 run was a french cut off his last over. would have been amazing.

we passed them 3 down after sending the two lads who get short shrift in to open the batting. good for our season, pretty much guarantee finals now.

The team was counting on me. Made my way to 14 and then got out in a freakish fashion that I won't go into. The team lost but only just. They needed 164 runs in 24 overs and they just smacked their way to the total with 3 balls to spare.

Had a couple of pre season nets after missing the last year and a half through injuries. Pretty embarrassing stuff. Gone from one of the better players to one of the ****test. Seemed to have picked up a pretty big technical problem against left arm over bowlers. Got tendonitis of the knee and elbow also just to rub it in. fml.
