i thought i would like to know how many people play cricket or have played cricket before and where they play...
so if you ever played cricket for a team, or just for fun maybe, then tell us all, where do you play in:

1- Batting order (what are you? a tailender? opening batter? Middle order?)
2- Type of player you are (batter, bowler, all-rounder?)
3- Where do you field(slips? off-side...mid on?)
4- also are you any good

myself, in the batting order, i vary my position, sometimes opening batter, or in the middle order, or tailender...

i am i Fast bowler, but a handy batter(like ashley giles)

i field either in the slips, or short leg, gulley and sometimes mid-off

i am reasonable, i can swing the ball both ways, i am a very defensive batter, hard to dismiss...sometimes i am the captain...

I'm a suicidal batsman, batting anywhere between 1 and 5, number 3 usually. I like to think of myself as an all-rounder, but i'm not really, wishful thinking i suppose! Bowl leg spin or medium-quick swing, i don't bowl that often though so i'm out of practice!
Fielding: either first slip or cover, on occasions i took over from our wicketkeeper when he was having a bad day!
Of course i'm good, honestly, what kind of question is that?!?!

suicidal batsman??? as in you like to go after everything, or your just good at getting yourself out pointlessley??

1- Batting order - Im an opener who always facies the first ball, like getting bat on ball ASAP
2- Type of player you are - Im a batter who can bowl a few Medium and Off-Break balls, not always the best ones though!
3- Where do you field - 1st or 2nd slip
4- Are you any good - Ermm, Im a decent player, Im no where near good enough to make a living out of it but I play it more for enjoyment then anything. However Im always a decent batter in school teams and stuff

1. Been pushed around the order but find myself most comfortable when opening the innings. Last season I had two goes at the top, making 16 and 9, 3 chances in the middle, where I made 7, 2 and 2 and then back to the top for the last five games where I made 75, 56, 43 not out, 30 and 68.

2. I'm a batsman who took 7 wickets in 5 overs last year. I bowl slow, off-spinning rubbish and I rely on accuracy and flite. I took 3-3 off 1 over in one match and held the best average, which was 3. I have a decent change of pace though and it sometimes gets the batsman out. Unfortunately, if I don't bowl the same ball every time it goes flying to the boundary.

3. Actually I'm a very good catcher. Never put one down. Took a couple of screamers at Mid-Off and a blinder at slip. My throwing arm isn't much though- hence my slow off-spinning garbage. So mainly I field "in the ring".

4. I'm ok. My scores might seem crash hot but I was playing in the Under 16 Division 2 competition.

I'm hoping to get into the reserves next year so I can be amid the heavy drinking culture, captained by a big red-nosed drinker, whom, from what I'm told, usually has about 3 or 4 cans of VB before he goes out to bat.

I love cricket and I play it a lot. Now what I am trying to do is that I hope to play for a Pakistani domestic team. I think I have good skills.

My batting postion is 1-6
I am a allrounder
My bowling type is a right arm fast medium not the Shoiab Akhtar
My feilding places are at gully and 2nd slip I even can play wicket keeper IF NEEDED
I think I am a preatty good player and I hope the hard work pays off My dream as a cricketer is to learn from the greats and become a cricketer and a great too and if I put lots of affort in to this thought I might be playing for a domestic team or even TEAM PAKISTAN...

Anthor thing is any body TRYING to get into a domestic team?

CRICKET IS IN MY BLOOD

My type of team, can I play for you in winters?
1. I usually bat about 8ish, coming in to hurry the scoring up at the end. I didnt have to bother putting my pads on in the juniors last year because our top order never got out. I've got a bit of a reputation of being a big hitter now, after a couple of knocks where I had to aim for about 10 an over so I resorted to launching everything from the start. I do have a measured approach of deadbatting every ball as well, but not a lot in between. I actually nearly killed the coach tonight when he was watching us from a balcony and I hit a straight drive straight at him . It just missed which was lucky seeing as he was watching the other net and didnt see it coming. Ive injured a few bowlers on their follow throughs so some have now taken to bowling then running out of the net before I hit it, which does nothing for my concentration, resulting in me trying the most outrageous shots I can think of. I always bat last in nets for the end of night entertainment. Despite this, I do take my batting seriously in games and had a reasonable season last year (my average was hampered by 2 bat before wicket decisions against me and getting run out taking 2 to the bowlers hand off the last ball of our innings - to be fair though we had just put on 41 for the las wicket in about 20 balls)
2. Im a medium pace swing / seam bowler, I usually open and often bowl the last few overs at the death (particularly if the balls disappearing to all parts and the skipper doesnt fancy ruining his average ) I'm not explosive but I tend to be quite economical and tight so I get quite a few overs. I have been known to bowl occasional leggies when we want to buy wickets (I can turn it a lot and bowl a decent topspinner, if I'm lucky it even lands on the strip) I keep wicket when I have to, once I did it in a cup game staight after bowling my allocation of oversopening at one end. I'm not bad as an emergency keeper but I dont do it enough to improve as much as Id like, particularly standing up.
3. I like fielding in the covers or at point, but I can catch (tempting fate) and have a strong arm so I often go on the boundaries for slowies, and occasionally get stuck at slip when no-one else wants it. I always seem to get lumbered with short leg in junior games when we want someone in the firing line.
4. I'm not too bad, Ive played for a couple of league representative sides at different age groups, won pretty much all the junior trophies going in our league and a couple of others, not that its all down to me, we have a very good team and we play for each other. I won the 3rd XI bowling averages a couple of years ago but missed most of last year with a back problem (not cricket induced but it stopped me playing). I try to be as good as I can be but Im playing for fun, rather than to play professionally.

I was always an opening batsman who can bowl if needed.

I was a sharp batsman with abilities to defend and attack equally well. I have played some very exciting cricket in India. I was never a very good bowler but was a handy option for the captian.

I wish I could play cricket today. My work hours barely allow me time to surf the net and keep myself updated on cricket. And yes, sometimes I watch cricket by excusing myself from office for bad health.

Well, I like batting in the middle order... Number 4 or 5 is good for me. I like to think of myself as an aggressive batsmen, and I love to hit the ball hard and far

As for bowling, I am a quick bowler, usually opening or first change. I dont really swing the ball, but I seem to get movement off the seam.

I like fielding in the covers and at point. I once fielded on slips, and it was a disaster. My team needed 1 wicket to win, and the batsman got an edge and I dropped it, and that happened twice!!! The opposition ended up winning, and I've never fielded in slips again :P

I believe I am a handy cricketer, with the ability to score runs when needed, and also to take wickets at a good average.
