i play about 12 games a season. A stalwart 10 or 11 batsman but do turn the arm ..off spinner and had best ever season last year hence my enhanced interest in the cyrrent england spinner debate...so anyone else play regular

 

[Barrel of Fun]

No

One game last season due to a move back to Brighton after a brief spell in Hants.

Looking to join a team this summer though and particularly keen to get into winter nets.

Any offers or tips much appreciated!

Do you need a no. 7/8 bat and leg spinner!?

I'm an opening bowler. Used to be quite fast / quite good when I played 4 or 5 games a week at college. I played for Liverpool, in Aigburth, where Lancashire play an outgame.

Now I am 35, a brisk medium pace, and play about 6 games a season.

Batting's a bit suss though - haven't scored a fifty since 1992!

have never got a 50...was run out for frigging 49

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I have only scored the single 50.

95 played on - in second wicket stand of 221 in a Twenty20 game in Devon.

I haven't played since school. Would love to play again but need to be re-taught the basics.

got the bowling award this year, after years of getting 3 or 4 wkt hauls i finally got a five for and the next week a bloody 6 for....the two games came to 11wkts for -30

Opening bat for my local village. Just over 300 runs last year in about 15 innings I think but no 50's all season.

I cringe just thinking about myself bowling though! The only time I would get a bowl is when the opposition need 1 more run and have about 20 overs and 8 wickets to get it. I did play a game for Eastbourne Martletts a few years ago and they were convinced I could bowl. I took three wickets after they got so bored of waiting for the ball they'd played half a dozen shots before it arrived.

That's how it works though. One weekend in Liverpool I took 16 wickets [9-26 in my game on Saturday, and 7-14 helping out the seconds on the Sunday], but I can honestly say I bowled better the following week, when I got f*** all.
