    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part One

    My 2007/08 Cricketing Diary - Part Seven One of the traditional and compulsory components of lower grade cricket is the argument about the scorebooks. You have two scorers, one from each side. And you can guarantee that at the end of the innings, the two scorebooks will not tally. This results...

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part One

    My 2007/08 Cricket Diary - Part 6 The next player in was a young chap – a bit rough around the edges. I hadn’t seen many cricketers take to the field in a singlet before, but I thought that as it was fifth grade, combined with the fact it was white, I wouldn’t say anything. He introduced...

    Is it true - no. Is it based around people and events that I have seen over many years of country cricket - yes. Have I exaggerated the truth just a smidgeon - maybe :) I will post a diary entry a day for the next little while.

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part Five Day 5 Con't The opposition captain, the aforementioned kangaroo shooter Paul Keeting, used the time-honoured method of deciding who should bowl next. “You look like you could sling them down a bit” he shouted at some well built guy in the outfield. Their...

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part Four Day 5 Con't. Their opening bowler was a big bugger – he was well over six foot and built like the proverbial brick outhouse. It is always difficult to face a bowler you have never seen before. I have always liked studying the technique of the opposition...

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part Three Day 5 Con’t Part of batting first is the responsibility for setting up the field. As we headed out to the middle, the rest of the team were sent around the ground to setup the boundary. The ground itself is located inside the local bull-ring, and is a...

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part Two Day 5 Yeah!!! We flipping murdered them! My first game back started with a bit of a whimper. I turned up at the ground two hours early (which is my standard practice) in order to prepare my mind for the match ahead. I sat in the middle of the wicket with...

    My Cricketing Diary 2007/08 - Part One

    Day One Inspired by Australia's recent performances against India, my own thoughts started turning towards a potential un-retirement from the game. I discussed it with my wife and kids, explaining that any return to cricket would involve me spending a lot of time away from them. They were very...

    Hi all, I'll post under the username of Dave Gregory - seems appropriate enough and 'Stuart' has already been taken. I'll continue to mainly post over at my usual haunt, however, I will have a wander through here as well. Cheers, Stuart
