Either in a match or just in nets...

Mine came last night at nets, I was having a bat and doing reasonably well for a change. One of the lasses (no) from our ladies' team decided to have a bowl and helped herself to a hattrick :oops:

Mine was probs the night we played Lancs in the T20. Got chosen to bowl in between innings with another couple of lads. 2 balls each. 1st one bounced about 6 times and was about 6 foot wide!! 2nd one was mint tho, pitched in the rough outside a right handers off stump, gripped and hit middle!!

Still got f___ all for it, although the lass from DCCC was smart like.
 
Going out to bat and forgetting my gloves. Thing is I stood at the non-strikers end for 3 balls, took my guard then realised and had to run off to the changing room and get them.

Getting chucked out of Old Trafford in 1993 after spilling a full pint of Carling over a disabled spectator when Richard Illingworth was batting.
 
Mine was when I was coming to the end of my career playing for Horden 3rds and a chilly Monday night, went out to bat with one man and his dog watching. Anyway this bloke watching was someone who was known locally as a bit of a fruit loop, mental breakdown case in his 50's. He was sitting near the changing room and when I got out for not many runs and trudged back to the dressing room I heard this voice coming from towards the dressing room getting louder and louder as I made my way towards the pavilion

Anyway as I got closer it became clear what he was saying, it went something like this'

You are a f***ing disgrace son (I was about 19yo) you want to be ashamed to belong from Horden, etc etc. The rant continued even as I made my way up to the steps with all the team trying to hold there laughs in

Very strange bloke and a very strange experience
 
Getting smacked in the goolies fielding at short cover, A right beef cake cained the ball right in me jewels from a long hop. everybody was laughing their tits off. I couldnt walk for a month, with one of me gonads the size of a grapefruit.

I thought it was going to finish with you throwing your bat at him or something :lol:
 
Playing in a game where the oppo had a 15 year old girl in their team. Turned out that she could bowl quicker than me and throw better than me. Fortunately, as she threw better than pretty much everyone, the term 'you throw like a girl' is now a term of appreciation at our club.

In my defence, She was an international player.
 
3 immediately spring to mind

1) when playing for Castle Eden 2nds we had only one umpire turn up which wasn't an unusual thing. When this happened the batting team provided the square leg umpire. Anyway, my turn out in the middle and our team run for a quick single. The ball is fielded fairly smartly and returned to the wicket keeper who takes the bails off. The whole team appeals and I give it out. Turns out he was in by about a foot. Knew I was in the shit when I heard their keeper say "f***ing hell, he's given it..." :oops:


2) playing for Ashbrooke 3rds at Chester town ground and losing track of the balls in an over in a night match. We needed 1 to draw and I thought we had 2 balls left and was at the non-strikers end. Batsmen smacks it straight to the fielder at mid wicket and starts hurtling towards me. I try and send him back only to realise when he was halfway down what was going on. I spring like hell down the pitch but was ran out by a good 10 foot :oops:

3) getting out LBW at Felling to a part time bowler that lobbed down a right daisy cutter. Previous ball I hoisted him for 6. Next ball slipped out his had, went about 12 foot up bounced halfway down the wicket and proceeded to bounce about 3 times before it got to me. I tried to give it the beans and missed the fucker stood right in front of my stumps and it hit me on the toe.

Take your pick. Add into that numerous dolly catches dropped and bits of shit fielding too
