Surrey Phil 19 Sep 2:05pm, 19 Sep 2024 10,678 posts	0 Surrey Phil I have had a few ducks although I recall they were having faced at least three balls. Never a golden one though. With the ball, I have had a platinum duck. Although that sent in their star player at number three a bit too soon and we ultimately lost.

Ocelot Spleens 19 Sep 3:56pm, 19 Sep 2024 39,570 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I had an innings with a strike rate of 100% once, just the once though, 2 off of the first ball, bowled second.

Mostly our captain's fault for calling for the run, partly my fault for not standing my ground. 45 years on and I can still remember it!) I've had a couple of golden ducks of my own, and I'm fairly sure I also stumped one. I have always suspected he called for it because he didn't like facing their quick.
Pothunter 19 Sep 9:39pm, 19 Sep 2024 9,431 posts	0 Pothunter I’m fairly sure it was my call on the run - and to make matters worse it was a no-ball so no need to try run another!
paulcook 19 Sep 9:42pm, 19 Sep 2024 6,491 posts	0 paulcook I was part of a couple of hat tricks. To be honest I was buzzing if I scored a run at all. And so crap was my batting I was barely ever out once I got into double figures yet still must have a lifetime average of low single figures.
Surrey Phil 19 Sep 10:13pm, 19 Sep 2024 10,680 posts	0 Surrey Phil What is everyone's best bowling and batting performances? For me, they were both at school with 32 not out (opened the innings and hit the winning run in the final over). Best bowling was 4-0-20-3. Both matches were 20 overs.
paulcook 19 Sep 10:24pm, 19 Sep 2024 6,492 posts	0 paulcook High score was somewhere around 20* which would have been nearly the last time I played in the late 90s as it was definitely a senior match. Best bowling was at other end, as an under 13, 4 for 5 from a full allocation of 4 overs.
fetcheveryone 19 Sep 10:33pm, 19 Sep 2024 31,067 posts	0 fetcheveryone I got four or five fifties, opening the batting in my late twenties. Bowling-wise, I got 5-23 as a 13yo playing for the senior team. A lovely memory.
