CRICKET HIGHLIGHTS: Sanderstead CC 1st XI vs Dorking 1st XI 

Well hello Buffalo, glad you like Sanderstead CC TV.

Glad to be of service Ray now you have found a corner of this world that doesn’t play cricket!!

Made me chuckle 😂😂😂

Yes, though Dorking have ambitions to be a Prem club and they will need players of this calibre to get there - so the long term aim is good.

Yes he’s got lots of passion and is bowling really well this year. Hard to believe he’s still only 18

And a very warm welcome to you from wet & windy South of England!

@@SandersteadCCTV Happy Friday! ... I'll be sure to support & follow your team on RU-vid... Cheers!👍 PS.. Our team regularly competes against teams that will sometimes flyover a few Windies (Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, etc)Pros & current First Class players over And it's fun to still beat them 'occassionally'... We also travel to Florida & Australia :)

Totally agree - the boys will hopefully learn from this.

They definitely haven’t learned!

ashhh87 haha! Good spot, hadn’t noticed that.

Nick Cole indeed - but he was an overseas pro and we no longer have him or any replacement.

There is something oddly satisfying about this

Definitely agree re Box Hill - in fact I switched emphasis in the video from a cricket match to a travelogue!

liamramsy good question - in this league, teams play each other twice - home and away - one game is a straight 50:50 and the other is a “100 overs timed game”. If you bat beyond 50 overs you simply have less time to bowl the oppo out - it’s all about timing the declaration. Not that we got that far today!!!

Sanderstead CC TV I have never heard of leagues playing like that before, the county cricket in Cheshire plays 100 overs but the team batting first can bat upto 55 if they want, but it's always the same format

liamramsy which club?

MountainyTen506 i play for lymm (well use too, work has got in the way) we're div 1 at the moment looking to go into the county

Yes - I have played here since 1986

Tom Whitton hi Tom, main thing is he was very very good. Hardly bowled a bad ball and an impeccable length. His pace wasn’t the problem....

Sanderstead CC TV very true, good insight

Sanderstead CC TV nice to see that subscriber count so high

No - it’s a few levels below Aus 1st grade.

@@SandersteadCCTV it looks very high standard to be honest, how many km/ph was that opening bowler bowling?

To be fair, you picked a game where the oppo had two guys who have played county cricket, and the bowler you mention now plays regularly for Glamorgan. He probs bowled mid-80s. Dan Douthwaite

Vile Smurx don’t know how quick he is - maybe in the winter we get in the nets with some speed reading equipment. Will film it of course....

I reckon 75

Bit like tom Curran

Ive faced him bowling short at me on a quick sanderstead wicket. Wasnt a pleasant experience!!!

Olly Humphreys nah not that quick, 75 is around the speed of a decent county seconds bowler, ive seen people who bowl 75 and they are slightely quicker

I’ll ask him when I can - see what he says

@@SandersteadCCTV sir You forgot to ask him?

😂😂

The chap who knows plays professional cricket?

I’m all for paying overseas players to come and coach/play if they can make a big difference to the development of a club. But simply paying cricketers to play for a club that they other liaise wouldn’t is purely mercenary. If it helps, Dorking finished 3rd, didn’t get promoted and when the paid players moved on they were demoted the following season. The Chairman who paid for all this moved on and Dorking remains a great club

It’s tough but we’ve got lots of batting! Though I realise that sounds a bit silly having just been bowled out for 73...

Eesa ansari I like that - bowling in diapers!

@@SandersteadCCTV corrected typo

Eesa ansari the typo was better! Happy New Year!

😂 was it that obvious! What miffed me most was the fact that a Div 2 side (which is actually the third division because there is a Premier division), should want to effectively buy themselves promotion by (allegedly) paying players who should really be playing Prem cricket. The irony is that it didn’t work - Other than for the pros, one of whom is successfully playing for Glamorgan.

😂 No!

KerrAvon yes, a damn good stuffing. Not bitter about their top players - it’s good for our guys to play against them so they can raise their game.

KerrAvon @SandersteadCCTV I also got a bitter taste from the commentary? On to the next one... Love your guys' channel.

Robin GSNR haha! Everyone’s available....

lol my thoughts on cricket “The Game of Cricket “ Twenty two yards marks this illustrious game To defend there your wicket is the ultimate aim But this must only be done with just the aid of a bat And the hope you hear not the dreaded howzat One batsman on strike and another stands the far end While eleven defend the field and on each other depend There intention that the batsman will be out with no run And when just one then remains the fielder’s job is done a batsman can be out in a number of ways even with the first ball if it’s just one of those days its the skill of the bowler and the batsman he can deceive And to force him to play a ball that may swing, turn or weave The bowler will hope he will edge then the ball And will glance off his bat and to slips he will fall A leg before wicket is another way the batsman is out But this is up to the umpire to decide with no doubt As the fielders raise their arms with an appeal of howzat And the umpire deliberates if it was leg or the bat Some decisions can be tough ones and not easy to make As the match can be decided on the decisions he’ll take To decide that the ball hit the leg when it would be hitting the stump And those dreaded film replays can make him look a chump But the decision is his and that all players will then stand As to challenge is not cricket in this fair playing land Another is the run out with all the drama that will ensue But the umpire on this can be aided with a video to view The replay can be slowed and if the batsman’s run out But such technology to the purist is a move they all doubt Is this fair play now decided by machine and not man And should more inclusions be resisted where ever they can In the nature of the game we’ll debate what we see As we all stroll off to lunch and again for our tea For is all part of this game and not given to change And to many outsiders it can all seem a bit strange How can you play the same match that can go on for days And those paying for the day no result on the scoreboard at which they now gaze But cricket is as much about leisure as a Sunday on the old village green And just played for the day in a setting that is thought of as serene The village rivalry will without doubt gives an edge to a game And a sporting reaction that would to some be too tame But the skills of the players are applauded by all and a round of appreciation if their wicket should fall so to all cricket fans from the young to the old it is all up to us all what the future will hold the new twenty twenty game is thought more exiting to see but would we loose the skill of patience that is loved so by me slogging the ball could damage the cat and mouse of this game when its forgotten in the tests and for me that’ll be such a shame but if It’s money is truly needed then we must see where it goes and hope not at the expense of our cricket and into chaos now it throws, “Howzat” Poem by RobinGSNR

Wow - must have taken ages to pen that - well done!
