Anyone play?

I'm a lower order batsman and left-arm chinament bowler.

I wanna be like Brad Hogg, he is my idol.

I used to love cricket, but gave it up to concentrate on surfing and playing guitar. I used to open the batting (in C or D grade only though), but my top score was 92, and I did make a few 50's, in my late teens and early 20's, although I was nopt very good at batting when I was younger
When I was a youngster I used to be a bowler, my best was 5 - 4 once, but I could never cope with the front foot no ball rule once I got older, it's a shame becuase if they'd had the old rule I would have been ok at bowling too (in the lower grades, at least).

I'm having the season off this year, but am really keen to get back and play 4ths for Rupertswood.

I'm fairly average, but my spinners are coming along.

Highest score is 35 and best figures are 4/13.

cricket is actually pretty cool.....the only thing is that it lasts allllllllllll day. well....if it's unlimited overs. i'd much rather see a 20 over game, myself....even though the strategy required for a 3 day unlimited over game is quite interesting.
