I am today's hero for scoring my highest ever score in any form of cricket.
Batting at number 11 (for quite obvious reasons), with Worcester County Council 94/9 chasing 163, the target was to get the other not out man, Mr Diamond, 44*, to a fifty. I scored a memorable...
4 not out ;D ;D ;D
Unfortunately, the 'top order' batsman could only make it to 48!

Nice!  At least you didn't have what happend to my dad a few years back, his top score was something like 80plus not out. He would have most likely got his first ton but for the rest of his team  |

Your dad is Alex Tudor and I claim my five pounds! ;D Reasoned; yet incorrect! Still. Here's me, a Sussex person born & bred. What do I know?? ;D  |

If your sole aim for going to the crease is to try to reach double-figures then you just know you'd better learn to love the game, as a compensation! Dunno about you, but I really enjoy my meagre contributions to our team, however limited in 'historical impact'! |

Reaching Double figures wouldn't even cross my mind!! Like you I thoroughly enjoy it - I raise my bat to my team mates upon reaching 1*. Absolutley love it |

Not sure how 'big' he was in Tinpoticity, (requiring a separate thread etc.), but some rather sad news about another great loss in the world of timeless, mad entertainment: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6272552.stmRIP, you mad, unbound bastard! ;D |

Far to high-profile, prolific and unorthodox. He certainly made the most of his years though - if he fancied it; he'd do it. Splendid attitude.  Anyway, back on topic. I rarely get to play these days, but can lay claim to contributing 22* to a last wicket partnership in a game between my then footy team and the local cricketers. We lost, but it was fun. Would have been more if I had remembered to run for one on-drive which WOULD have gone for four if the grass had been shorter! As it was, the ball stopped short and we lost out on three runs. The nearest I get now is an annual 6-a-side tourney organised by one of the local bar billiard pubs. The Coach & Horses in Compton (Amber - you've been there, it's the ball-poking pub ;D) It's a full day out; bacon rolls for brekker, cold beer all day long, three group games then semis - everyone bowls one over, score 25 and retire; that sort of thing. Hard work in the field though! All in a marvellous village setting; surrounded by corn fields, a pine forest and rolling hills all around. After, back to the pub - which has 6 real-ales and a few rather splendid European brews on tap too. Bl00dy wonderful day out. |

Good Lord! If you can actually apply a viable, comprehensible name to a shot you make, and others would concur with that name, then you're clearly a better batsman than me! ;D |

I played a shot once which someone described as a 'reverse slog'.
