Quote from: tomd2103 on June 21, 2018, 12:51:14 PMA few light years away from the county scene, I have got to captain my club's 3 XI on Saturday as the usual captain is away. I have only just returned to playing after a gap of about 20 years, so any advice on fielding restrictions (it's a 50 over game) and some basic fielding positions would be much appreciated. I do want to give a the idea that I vaguely know what I'm doing!!The fielding restrictions are probably league specific so I’d recommend checking with the league management/hierarchy. I’d start with a slip, long leg, a couple on the edge of the ring on both sides who walk in as the bowler runs in; a sweeper on the deep cover boundary, mid on and mid off. Be prepared to change your field to block a batsman’s stock stroke and try and make it look natural and not like you’re following the ball with your field changes. Good luck!

Watching the Bears opening bowler Brookes an 18 year old for the first time. The caption said medium pace bowler, well at 88mph he's quicker than medium and gets a wicket maiden first over.You Bears.

I really like Brookes, I reckon he'll be over 90mph in a year or 2 and will be an England player not long after, he's handy with the bat as well.

I really like Brookes, I reckon he'll be over 90mph in a year or 2 and will be an England player not long after, he's handy with the bat as well.In four overs of 20/20 he bowled 15 dot balls, changing his pace from the mid to high 80's to around 65mph. Bamboozled the batsman.
So far this is a fantastic partnership from Bell and Hain, should be enough to take the Bears over the line from here, especially with Elliott and the Big Man to come in next.Hain has developed into a particularly impressive player in the shorter formats, if anyone has missed it for the Lions he's now on 3 centuries in 8 innings with an average of 115 and his List A average is over 68. I've said it before but England are going to have to add him to the group because his form demands inclusion, and it's not a flash in the pan, it's over a year of consistent excellence now.

Found it quite hard to keep track of the bowling changes and fielding positions and didn't realise there was so much other stuff to sort out off the pitch. Certainly enjoyed my post match beer after it!!
