I dont think that excuse cuts it. Top bowlers should be hitting the stumps 4 times out of 5. After all there are three of them!
Wet ball or no wet ball, there's no excuse.
Paul - a bowlers response !
As a batsman (allegedly), I think there are far too many LBW's given these days.
Bowling one delivery on a mat with a wet ball is not the same as bowling lots of deliveries with a dry ball on grass. Therefore it is fairly safe to discount the theory of 'no lbws' because of the low success rate of the bowlouts.
IVAN , WAS DISSAPOINTED AT MISSING THE GAME AS MOYLENA IS LOVELY GROUND & I WOULD ALWAYS BUY MY MATE ANDY A DRINK & HE MIGHT HAVE NEEDED A FEW AS HEARD HE WENT FOR 17 IN 1 OVER .IT BY ALL ACCOUNTS WAS A VERY TOUGH GAME WITH BOWLERS DEFINATELY ON TOP .DO AGREE THAT IT WILL BE TIGHT LEAGUE & THE LADS WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH CRAIG DRUMMOND WHO I DID SAY LAST YEAR WILL BE A STAR OF THE GAME, DUNDRUM WILL ALWAYS PUT UP A FIGHT AS THEY WANT TOO SHOW THAT THEY CAN PLAY AT A GOOD STANDARD.
all the "bowl outs" yesterday with lots of misses. I hope my umpiring colleagues are taking note vis-a-vis future LBW appeals!!!
re Andy Kennedy
In fairness to the News Letter, Armagh very nearly managed to beat themselves yesterday!
Chris.....
i think it hit one of the pegs we used to hold the sheet down with........Willie just forgot to lift it when we removed it.
im hoping CSNI will leave Saintfield on saturday knowing they were in a match! im sure we can give them a scare!!!
Cheers for the mention Tommy, as I told you yesterday I've been working on the doosra for a few days now and I thought the bowl out would be the perfect opportunity to show it off for the 1st time lol.
Can't wait for CSNI in the next round now, will be a good test of where we are as a club. I'm sure Dundrum are saying the same with their game against Inst
taito.......
that couldnt have happened to a nicer person yesterday. well done aaron!! hope he bruises well.
well done to our boys yesterday beating cliftonville 2-0 in a bowlout. its all a bit of a lottery when it comes down to it as im sure it wouldve been a cracking game. special mention to chris gilmore who managed to bowl an off spinner that pitched 8 inches outside leg and hit off stump!! everyone is still baffled as to how he managed it!!
this is just to clarify the result as reported in today's Newsletter - Armagh beat Muckamore - Armagh didn't beat Armagh as reported!! Ah the quality of coverage continues to "improve".
i think i witnessed a first yesterday one of our players was injured in a bowl out. Yes aaron ferris took the wicket keeping gloves for the bowl out and he took a delivery from JC just under the eye.
Absolutely hilarious i was just wondering has anyone else ever been hurt in a bowl out, priceless!!!
come on jareth give me a bit of credit i have never supported chelsea.
Some interesting results at the weekend with muckamore losing twice. Great win for dundrum and i can see them being a difficult team to beat this year if they can put their best 11 out more often than not.
I had muckamore pegged as oe of the teams that would be pushing for promotion but maybe this is just an early season blip and they will come back strong.
Yet again this shows that section 1 is gouing to be a very tight league and with lurgan sscoring an impressve total in the cup yesterday they are off to a good start.

over the last 10 years of knowing you - you have supported blackburn chelsea and man utd - not following the glory at all
Dundrum's stuffing of us at Moylena on Saturday just shows how open a league Section One is going to be this year. After being dismissed for 78 we had them 19 for 6 but Lee Connor and Noel Maguire proved the fight that's in this Dundrum side. I think 13 wins could get a team promoted this season and on Saturday's performance either team could reach that target. Jeff was notable by his absence. Must have been worried about having to by his mate Andy Clement a drink.
What a sensational win for Armagh today in the Senior Cup against Muckamore!
Armagh won by one wicket in the last over but the credit has to go to the Muckamore club for having a game played at all and it was a very exciting game played in the right spirit by two committed teams.
