I'm Back Bitches

Fuck yeah.

I sucked so bad two weeks ago that everyone on the opposing team came.

Then last week we had to cancel due to the soccer.

But this week: 10 runs for 2 wickets in 2 overs and 14 runs with the bat. There's still no pace in my arm, but at least there's accuracy and it doesn't hurt at all any more. I didn't get the chance to practise batting much, because I was mostly dodging wides and no-balls. The couple of shots I got off looked goodish though, in line with my new technique.

Altogether +4 runs. That's a 24 run improvement. Yes, Captain. I shall not be needing the pink wrist bands and white sweatband of shame any longer.

We still lost though. At least we took two skins. The first skin I bowled over one and four. Only one extra in the fourth! We drew that one thanks (in part) to my efforts. So the second skin would decide the winner for skin one and two.

They had won the second skin, but there were two balls left to go. Then one of my team mates took the exact same catch twice in a row. Whoop. I think he might be our best fielder now ;)

Then they utterly destroyed us.

But the first part was good!
