Hello, and welcome to my blog, dear reader.
My name is Jason Jones and I love Cricket. I'll explain why this is in a different post (it'll bump up my blogcount, you see...), but for now, I'll stick with the basics. I'm 23, I play for what is probably my local team, Belton Cricket Club in Norfolk. We're a typical village team, with player ages spanning from 15-70. People always ask me whether I'm a batsman or a bowler. The truth is, I'm neither. I'm a relatively decent batsman once I get my eye in, but a mildly inconvenient tendency to miss full, straight balls early on in my innings means that I'm rarely seen outside the tail end of the innings. As one or two of you may know, I'm also an aspiring Leg Spinner, having been practicing for about 3-4 weeks now. Not quite Warney yet, then.
Before we start the rollercoaster journey that is a season with Belton Cricket Club, allow me to clarify a few things about what you're likely to get from this blog:
1) Expect tangents! - To say I'm easily distracted is like saying Shoaib is 'a bit quick'. Not technically untrue, but massively understated. Don't be too alarmed when what started as a blog detailing the merits of a covered wicket on your local ground turns into a discussion regarding whether or not a 13ft tall chav-proof electric fence is 'too far'. This is simply the way my brain works. I like to call my writing style 'freewheeling' and 'improvisational'. Others prefer 'random' and 'nonsense'.
2) It's light reading. - I don't think there are really too many of you out there who really actually genuinely care whether I can bowl without causing the Wicketkeeper to have kittens. If you do, I salute you, and also sympathise with you. So whilst almost everything I post about my progress will be accurate, I'll try and keep it as entertaining as my talents will allow.
3) Updates will be random. - As previously mentioned, I'm a bit of a randomist with regard to my writing, and this will also apply to my update schedule. There may be days when the spark is with me, and I'll end up posting two or three blogs in a day, and then there will be Sahara-esque dry spells where I can't string two coherent words together for weeks at a time.
Anyway, that's more or less it for this 'introduction' post, and hopefully you'll read on to the next post. Who knows, you might even enjoy it.
