"My first match in four years"

I had an interesting say today. It involved sweating, grunting and a heart attack. All in the space of 5-hours. This ladies and gentlemen, is the exciting world of Sunday league cricket.

Yup, today was my debut for the cricket team and I’ve decided to spoil you all by telling you about it and showing you some pictures.

I will spoil the result now and tell you that we lost by 20 runs, but we tried hard.

I scored the same number of runs as the opening batsman,3 and took 1 wicket.

Anyway, on with the pictures.

Number 1) This is an, “ooh, so close” moment.

Number 2) My first ball in four years. DUCK!

Number 3) My second ball. Can you see it? I will give you a clue. It’s higher then the previous one.

At this point my captain said to me, “use the pitch”. Yeah, cheers captain for that wonderful advice. I’d have never thought of it, but now you mention it, I’ll give it a crack.

Number 4) My third ball. That’s better!

Number 5) This is just a shot to show the captivated crowd.

Number 6) This one is a shot from behind, it’s just for Tim.

My dad came along to take these pictures, he took 80 in total, including my two full tosses, but he missed my wicket!

Anyway, the guy that had the heart attack wasn't too bad. It was only a minor one.

How have you spent your sunny Sunday?

Oooh Oooh, me played cricket on Sunday (U13s - 20 overs) and I was seventh batsman and got 3 not out and we won, got 115 - 6 and 2 people retired (you have to retire at 25) and they got 71 - 4. It is my first season and I have bowled 5 overs got no - one out but could have if I had shouted for and lbw, batted twice at a rate of 5 - 1.

Why was Phil Mitchell there? (Pic 4)

I was going to, but now I've seen you have. I won't.

I swear if somebody were to put a fencing-dealy in your hand in picture 4 then you'd look like you were, well, fencing I guess.

I went to the pub. Huzzah.
