lets see now
batting : anywhere 5-11. should improve this yar as i have had specialist training in this area.
bowling: left arm chinaman, unusual technique. spins alot though. can sometimes be expensive on a small ground, but usually take my fair share of wickets as well.
fielding: i quite like keeping, got some training keeping last yeaqr although i never get the chance too keep in a game yet. usually around square leg, or somewhere that aint slips, cause im the youngest in the team so im put in all the fielding places where alot of running is involved
hahaha im still tempted to say drink carrier

well well...
I used to be a wicket keeper 2 years back, but ever since i had a growth spurt, my coach decided to get me to bowl. For some reason, i improved dramtically, and open bowling for my school team. I don't have a scary pace, but get away swing, occasionally swinging it in. I also get enormous cut, both off and leg, and the scary thing is, i don't know which it is when i release the ball. :P
batting, last season, i went as number 4, and my aim was to murder the bowlers, building upon the solid foundations from those higher above me. But this season, i've been promoted to no. 3, and its pretty hard for me to be defensive and stay in there, given my lack of solid technique and aggresive batting. imagine dhoni opening?
As a fielder, my catching is good, given my time as a keeper. I excell in midoff and deep midwicket. i'm fast, so i can cover quite a bit of ground. i don't hesitate to dive, except for those high catches for which i have to dive forward. someone help me with that yea?
i'm serious in training, and ironically more than i am in the matches itself. I am the team joke (not joker, mind u), and enjoy being one. I love itwhen everyone laughs AT me, for some reason.
Since our national school league has teams that are brilliant and teams that are quite hopeless, i change my mood to fit the opposition. (we are always 2nd in the table). I tend to joke around the field when playing against very weak oppositions. This is because they always seem to bat first for some reason. Bonus points are awarded if we score more than 200, if we get the other team all out, etc. etc. Since they almost always bat 1st (our captain is unlucky), our game plan is to get them past 200, and get them all out within the last 5 overs. This is a tough enough task given that they cannot score more than 50 without err... our help. So i usually lead the plan, by helping them without the match officials suspecting a thing. This includes numerous sights to behold of me playing a fool on the field, diving over perfectly slow balls, tipping catches over the ropes for six, and etc etc.
Admittedly, most credit goes to my team mate, when we were chasing a ball that was sure to stop yards before the boundary, i got there first. For some reason, he pushed me away, and kicked the ball over the ropes. Our team got a warning from the umpires, and our coach got royally ****ed at our whole team, (We never told him of our plans to get the bonus points) earning us 18 rounds around the track.

My role has changed now. Im now 1st or 2nd change now that im bowling club, but rather than look for wickets im also sometimes expected to be a dibbley dobbley bowler that just hits the spot to keep the runs down. I'm looking to up my pace though, im just not really fast enough now im playing a better grade of cricket.

Hmmm sort of, but for the most part i am meant to attack, its just depending on who weve actually managed to get in our team that week, game situation whether i bowl 'harrys' as such.

I bowl off spin and occasionally leg spin that bowls for wickets.
I am a 5-9 batsman and am predominately a slogger, but I am a bowling all rounder. |

Isn't dibbly dobbler such an awesome phrase, it has no true meaning, yet perfectly explains what you mean.
