Get back into the second team and stay there. Was a massive disappointment last season to get dropped to the thirds after not really getting much of a chance in the seconds. Opened in the first match of last season, dropped to the thirds, then in the second half of the season I got selected for the seconds again, batted at eight, didn't bowl and get dropped three games later. :rolleyes:

If I had to name statistical aims, they would be an economy rate of under five, get a five-for (took four several times last year) and get that first fifty which keeps eluding me by one or two runs....

I thought your targets would be something achievable like get a haircut ;)

Only joking Stevie!

Not really sure of my targets for the season as I don't know how long I'll be playing for with the job hunt well under way! Think my target will be to play as long as possible! :p

Ani - I used to play for suffolk - Do you know Jed Cawkwell?

KP - which club in suffolk do you play for ??? - I played for easton

Maney - Tough to get into the first X1 with players like Gravell, Ashwin and maybe even Sasha will have a place? also Cooky will be in their

good luck all in your endevours.

Im not playing any more cricket till England school/Col east essex summer in 2009.

This off season I am working hard and trying with my personal coach (Grant Parmentor) to try to really get into form and improve my batting and leggies.

Then when I return to England I am looknig for Essex age group selection (Suffolk is useless) and to have a good season with the school firsts.

3. Get a 5-fer
4. Improve fielding
5. Improve batting
Yeah, I have pretty much the same goals for 2008, except that I already have a good team and I'll stick with them.

I have a different goal:

1. Find a club to play for!

Once that is achieved:

2. Achieve a strike rate of above 8.00 (!)
3. Take a 5 wicket haul

I doubt you'll take a 5 wicket hall in your first season (is it your first season?). I've been playing for six years, and best I've taken is 4/14.

Batting
-play myself in and then just make runs fast. It's the only way I know how to do it and its the best way.
Bowling- Consistency. One day I'll genuinely come home thinking I could out bowl Brett Lee for pace and accuracy and the next I'll come home and watch Mohammad Sami thinking wow he's not that bad. If I get consistent performances people will have to take notice and with the way I changed my action i think it might happen.
Fielding- stop dropping easy chances, i take all the hard ones!

As for teams, with the mens I just hope to see us get a reasonable win ratio with me contributing and with U17s win the league again (will never ever happen)
