Avfc96 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Meh, took a better one as a Warwickshire grizzlie quite a few years ago during the lunch break of a county game. Jumped up in the air, one handed catch in front of the pavillion. Beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sounds like a poor imitation of Tom Moody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Tom Moody - what a player ! Couldn't understand Warks letting him go (at the time) but guess A D was worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Moody and Hick were a great combination for Worcestershire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes the glory days for Worcester. Probably my favourite cricket ground Worcester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 New Road in the sunshine is a great venue.. used to go a lot. Curtis, Hick, Moody, Rhodes, Newport, Botham, Radford etc... a great few years in the late 80's - early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 First game back today. Can't believe we managed to get a game in and it hardly rained. Got 4 for 14! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The second XI of a club I used to play for got bowled out for 6. The quality of player at the club has massively gone downhill and a lot of the team were made up of 'have a go' cricketers but they should have been better than that. Worse still, they all saw it as a bit of a joke and didn't see the magnitude of such a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Another big score for IR Bell today. Great to see him getting back into form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 An interesting comment from Root after yesterday's play (and his duck) from this match report: It was noticeable here that Root batted at No. 4. While the identity of England's Test openers is becoming clearer - it looks as if Sam Robson will have first opportunity to build a partnership with Alastair Cook - the No. 3 position is still causing consternation. With Ian Bell and Root both batting at No. 4 for their counties - Root confirmed after play that it would be his preferred position "in an ideal world" for England - there may yet be room for a return for the likes of Nick Compton or Michael Carberry.

Compton bats at 3 for Somerset, and made a ton at Durham last week. He's similar to Trott, in so much as he's a nurdler, and doesn't tend to make his runs quickly. Worth giving him a go at 3, I'd say. Bell at 4 and Root at 5 wouldn't be a bad call either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well Varun is certainly not doing his chances any good. A failure in the first innings and now a second ball duck in the 2nd against Notts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
