Well guys thought I might do a blog, bit of an update on how my cricket down in the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne is going.
Well great day for cricket yesterday (well I would say a better day for golf ) First game of the year playing in a funny little town called Main Ridge against the Cougars (I thought the Cougars lived in Mountains?? )
We win the toss, choose to have a bat on a rather small ground. We thought it would be an easy day, well how wrong we were. With myself not really thinking of playing cricket till last week, I have had 2 net sessions so a little rusty and the capt puts me in at 8. I arrive atthe crease at 6/80 and watch the next two overs were we lose another 3 wickets.
Get the call that I can have a proper dip and so start swinging pretty solidly. Hit a few fours, get under the skin of the opposition and was feeling good. Then get bowled a rank full toss and well I should of hit it back to Melbourne instead of down deep-mids throat. All out for 116 i get 20.
Bowling and what a funny thing happened. Our english overseas feller had been bowling terribly since he arrived and was lucky to get the new ball. But he turned it on and had the batsman confused. We sent down 30 overs at them and at stumps they are 8/70 with no recognised batsman to come. Going to be an interesting week next week, btu I feel we should get over the line
