Any international or domestic players you have played with ?

[CrownedKnight]

So this thread is about people who have played with players who have either played first class or international cricket

As I am from Sheffield Yorkshire, I have played in various leagues in here , Midweek, Saturday and Sundays,

Joe root is one of the players who I have played with quite a bit as he plays for Sheffield collegiate, very quite guy he was I bowled to him on number of occasions and he struggled on some beauties but never gave away his wicket, and you could tell that he was going to do well by the way he actually made runs however it feels nice to have outdone some one who now plays at elite level .

Ryan Sidebottom another bloke who I have shared nets with , lovely chap and always gave good tips, Tim Bresnan came across as a bit of arrogant person maybe he didn't like me but boy he bowled some heavy balls.

So who have you played or shared nets with ?

I've faced 2 Canadian cricketers. One was an all rounder named Salman Nazar, he played one test match against Netherlands and scored a 60, he is new, I bowled to him, he smashed me lol. The second player was Canadian opener and part time bowler Ravindu Gunesekara, he bowled 3 balls to me, i hit a double, dot and a single.

I have known a friend who personally trained with Murali, Sanga and Mahela when they came to Lords. He trained with them in the nets. Also gave him some tips.

Good stuff, you must be pretty decent yourself to have played along with so many high profile players.

Are you a batsman or a bowler?

[ahsan366]

Played with Ahmed Shehzad as well

 

[ahsan366]

[ahsan366]

I have played with many more, there were loads in the Herts premier league including indian domestic players from IPL etc but as I don't get to watch that much cricket now due to work, I couldn't recognise them. Australian intl. player Agar was playing in the same league and got picked up for Ashes during last years season.
