Seconds again

That's cricket
Literally. Cricket has officially finished for 2005/2006 for me. It was a disappointing end for the club, with both finals sides suffering defeats. Friday rain and an unlucky coin toss put paid to the top sides hope of promotion to first grade. Batting first on a soft damp wicket was always going to be difficult, but even so 107 all out was a disappointment. The 6th grade, on an artificial wicket, bowled out the opposition for a mere 148. Unfortunately it meant we had to bat for 8 overs before stumps on day 1, 3 for 16. Still gettable. We lost 4 for 6 to be 7 for 22 less than half an hour in to day 2 and all of a sudden, not so gettable. Kudos to Brickie for his defiant half century, but all out for 92, game over.

Oh, well, back to Saturday afternoons at the soccer club for the next 5 months for me.

Go Lions
