For 1999 you mean 2000 and for 1998 you mean 1999.

Also, we've never played Middlefield, that was against Middlecott (Boston) and we were at home. Close enough though...

Old Trafford Test 2002 - I got through 12 cans of Carlsberg Export and didn't fall asleep once during over 7 hours of play.

(Cost a lot though £2.80 a can?!)

 

[Bazza]

I wouldn't have paid it - you could have had 3-4 times as much for that price in a supermarket! OK I lie I would have paid it because there wouldn't have been much choice.

I downed 5 double whiskeys in about 3 hours last night/this morning does that count? I also had a beer to start with. I don't know if that is my best or not though.

 

[marc71178]

But I couldn't take it in with me! :!(

That would be correct. They're a public school for choirboys... Which probably fires me up somewhat, too.

Although the year I took 2/11 (1999) they had Shadab Kabir as coach, doesn't reflect too well on him that I had the whole team on the rack. Also one dropped sitter at mid-on, and one edge to the keeper everyone on the ground but the umpire and bowler heard.

My second wicket there was the best ball I ever bowled, pitched outside leg stump, cut back to hit the top of off. Wonderful.

(20 overs a side game after wash out 1st week)

my best bowling was 5 overs 4 maidens 4 for 1, cleaned up their middle order and they wended up all out for 78 after a 50 run opening partnership



we than went into bat in reversed order thinking that we would get the runs easy, beeing an opener i was batting at number 10 we quickly collapsed to 9/3 or 4 with one of our top batsmen getting a golden, anyways i was at the crease with our number 4 batsman who had a sore leg from bowling and was batting with a runner, anyways we were just puching the ball around for the most part and we each ended up with 36* which is not my highest score but i rate it as one of my best innings

 

[Kiwi]

Batting.

103 not out (off 76 balls) in school cricket in a 183 run partnership.
97 (off 58 balls) in school cricket.

Bowling

5/1 (8 overs) in school cricket(there top 5 batters)
5/5 (3 overs) in school cricket

But the performance that I rate as my best is my first Senior Club 50 that came in just my 3rd senior match when i was facing Canterbury and White Fern bowlers.
50 for Lancaster Park-Woolston vs East Shirley

Feilding.

4 catches and 1 run out in a 2 day match.

 

[Slats4ever]

What a great idea
my best performances are
Batting
1. 113* v North Ryde (98-99)
2. 104* v North Ryde (2000-01)
3. 107* v Epping (99-2000)

Bowling
1. 7/26 v St Pat's Strathfield
2. 4/0 (I have taken numerous pfeifers but 4/0 deserves something considering when i was bought onto bowl)

The best perfomance however in crickeet belongs to my michael bevan like heroics. In our last season of school cricket, i was captaining the side, We had a do or die affair in the rounds and we needed a win to get thru to the semi's. I was batting and we needed 16 off the last 2. After we only got 4 off the first we needed 12 off the last, and the usual boring me was at the crease. However I hit the last ball for 4 and we won the game, and the semi and the final and the regional final.

 

[age_master]

i can back that one up, i kinda sliced a cover drive that i was trying to hit over the top to get us ahead in the runs -balls ration and got caught

 

[Simon]

ill also add the 5/0 i took off an 8 ball over once. Ive never bowled to a worse top order in my life.

 

[Rik]

45* vs Bridgenorth
43* vs Monkmoor
33 vs Monkmoor

4-8 vs Bridgenorth
3-5 vs Monkmoor
2-3 vs Monkmoor
(all from 2 overs)

or a season average of 70 this season

well i can honestly say neily has jus spouted the most crap ever!!!he's never had a team on the rack, he had a county bowler at the other end who was scaring the **** out of their batsmen who needed to slog. and in about 3 years of watchin neil play i aint ever seen him spin the ball :rolleyes: specially not from outside leg to hit off.......


but thanks for correcting me Neil
