I used to hate that retiring rule. I was a bloody good bat as a kid and always had to retire, so I started just trying to get there as fast as I could. Until recently I struggled to bat a long innings and I still sometimes find it hard to switch into a scoring mode if I come in and need to consolidate and I think not batting long innings from the start (partly due to my attitude, granted) has a bit to do with that.
Of course, the assumption when I moved into senior cricket that an opening bowler must be a tail ender also didn't help. That bloke was such a useless captain lol. One game I knocked out 40 odd in a 15 over stand with the number six, batting 10. Next week? Batted eleven.....
Our captain is also our opening bowler. He cannot bat for shit, but puts himself at 4 most weeks, although this week he dropped down the order - to 5. I can bat solidly in the middle order (out of 8 innings this year, I've been not out 4 times and only failed to hit double figures once) and don't bowl, so of course this week I was 11...
played my first game of cricket in ages the other day..
managed to top score, took 2 wickets and a catch..
but dear god you use so many different muscles in cricket compared to other sports...
so sore..
Once, when I played cricket, I got the bat to the ball.
you lost me at Karnivool
Negative. The sounds of the devil from those bands listed will lead to an angry day.so decided to walk to work tomorrow, just for something different..
about 2hrs... Will leave home around 6am..
so, should i take my ipod for company, starting the day with the dulcet tones of disturbed, karnivool & slipknot?
or should i go sans ipod and savour the early morning sounds along the way?
Slipknot are the devils in masks!Karnivool are less offensive than Disturbed and Slipknot tbh.
Bought a new guitar strap (havent had one in years) and guitar lead today, that's been fun.
And now Twizz is no longer cool.
