Your Cricket Dumb Discourse (in thread form)

Ah, ok fair enough. Kudo's for trying though. Was speaking to my mum and she was saying it is not nice weather down there. Don't know what all the fuss is about, we just keep getting more and more sun up here in Aberdeen

Well I just bowled against an international cricketer (for Scotland granted).
We were a bit suprised when our opposition turned up with 3 ringers. 2 of them play for Carlton, one of the top club sides in Scotland, the third, Gregor Maiden, used to play for the national team.
One of the Carlton players hit 5 consecutive 6s off one of our better bowlers. I then got to bowl to Maiden. I won't share my figures but he was very nearly caught at cover and that 3rd 6 could easily have been caught on the boundary!
We lost heavily buy good experience nonetheless.

Oh come on!

How can you post that and not post your figures!

What type of a match was it.friendly? Cuz i`m kinda surprised you got to bowl against internationals?

 

[barmyarmy]

Friendly not a league game. I only bowled two overs and I was bowling spin rather than quick due to my back injury. I went for about 30 off the two overs.

Better than them bowling against me. Also Scottish internationals are probably about the standard of Aussie provincial players!
