I shall post how I really did in the match. They batted firs and got an amazing 148-2 from their ten overs. I bowled 2 overs which went for 16. And picked up a wicket on my way. They were struggling as at one point they were 16-2. A South African lad came in and batted slow to start off but the other batsmen hit loads everywhere, he use to play on my old team and normally when he got past 15 or so he would bat very quickly. The first sign of this was when he was 13 not out he smashed a 6 strait down the ground. He hit another shortly after and then a switch hit clip to hit another 6. That guy hit 79 not out. We knew that there was not chance of going at 15 an over, but we did do well to get 98-4 from 10 overs. I got 15 from 10 balls, with a four and a six That was the last game of the school league. Out of 6 matches we've won twice, but lost 4 times, we finish 5th out of 7, which isn't bad.

Fucking ridiculous. The guy was about 6'2 and he was 13, he plays in the Sussex U16.
Hes class and he could be a future cricketer. He has a English name but his parents are South African, and he speeks in a sort of South African accent, his name is Jamie Adams, search him up in a few years time...

What a boring, dull 1st innings they had. We got them all out for 103 from 48 OVERS. Thank God I bowled, in the field I hardly got a touch of the ball. I got 3 wickets today, 2 catches and one Lbw, I could have got 4, but a fielder dropped a catch, hard chance though, I would have dropped it ;D. Figures: 6-1-16-3 We won by 7 wickets, I came on when we were about 95-3. I only manged 3 today, not out Really tired and got a tan now, their innings was just forward defensive after forward defensive, very dull. But any way a win is a win, but unfortunately we finish 3rd in the league, which I suppose isn't bad.

My brother's Sunday XI was short of a player so I was asked to play. We got off to a not so good start with 36-2 from the first 11 overs. With a short boundary, the captain of our team batted with my brother who came in and put on a partnership of 204 from only 31 overs, until the captain was out on 143. I come in, and me my brother batted , he was quiet with our captain, but he went to a safe 50, and I helped him out. We finished on 276 for 4 from our 50 overs, a very high score, I finished on 18 not out and my brother finished on 73, after being out on the last ball of the innings. We reduced them to 30-5, and I bowled 2 overs that went for 5. We get another 3 wickets. I bowled my 3rd over which I got a wicket from, they were on 62-9, we needed one more wicket, and the batsmen smashed it high in the air, the fielder that was about 3 yards to the side of me, went for it, dropped it, and fell over, I quickly grabbed the ball from the ground and look up and see the batsmen had run into each other and fall over, the bowler ran to the stumps and I lobbed it from square leg and hit the stumps direct A shit bunch today, and apparently they did the same last week, they got 203 and got the other team out for just 50,
