"More cricket"

More cricket today. A real lesson was handed out today…unfortunately we were on the receiving end.

They scored 239 runs for 4 wickets off 35 overs and the declared. Yes, they declared in a one day match!

I bowled 8 overs taking to wickets, but 3 catches were dropped on my bowling.
I took one catch, which was quite good even if I say so myself.

Pictures, because I know how much you love them,

This is an 11-year old on our team. I took the catch when he was bowling, so he took a wicket.

And this is a peach of a Yorker I bowled.

So we were given a tough target of about 6 an over. Considering we were a bowling side, it didn’t look too good. In fact we along with the spectators got a pool going each putting in a quid and then guessing at what time they would have bowled us all out. I went in a number 5 and the first ball I faced was a bouncer. It would have broken my nose, but I got to do one of those great evasions. Matrix style. It looked cool.

Anyhoo, I got the second highest score on our team…I got 9 runs

The guy in the back ground, probably about to get it hit his way, seems a bit bored.

"If I just stand here and stare at the wickets, they're bound to fall over"

Did his balls drop?

Ho-ho.

That was his first game. He's a decent bowler and is good in the field. He can't bat though.
