Congratulations to Statto for avoiding death (by mere inches) last night! You will be pleased to know that Chairman Mao/Teflon only required four stitches!  Shocked

Nothing like a little bit of Sunday tea-time violence is there?  Hope Chairman Mao (  Laughing ) is feeling better and back at nets soon.

Although our net sessions are evidently not as violent as you might think they are at Falkland Cricket Club.  If you go to their homepage (http://www.falklandcc.co.uk/ ) and follow the link where it says 'Indoor Nets Commence 2nd February' you end up at an advert for fireworks, bonfires and barbecues!   Shocked

Fortunately it's only a case of them not having taken down their 5th November poster yet, otherwise violence, pyromaniacs and canibalism might be suspected.   Shocked

Although to be fair we might yet get canibalism if Statto makes good on his previous promises....  Wink

So what happened then?

Did Mike 'pitch' the beamer to perfection?

You cheeky git! I wasn't involved in any way, shape or form! Gary bowled a short ish delivery which David top edged onto his eyebrow! He has a lovely shiner but seems otherwise ok!

Other than that incident, I am pretty positive about our switch to Willink. Might be an idea to measure the length of the wickets next week though!  Laughing

Yes, the Willink was a bit better.  And it was quite nice being the only ones in the hall.  

I got an early rude awakening when someone wacked just about the first ball he received back down the other end of the hall at head height.  (Trying to do a Sayeed and smash the first ball as far as possible.   Wink )

I quite enjoyed having a long bat < insert remark about that being the longest bat I'll get all season here >.  You never know, one day I might be able to play one of those glorious straight drives in an actual match!   Embarassed

I'm probably not going to be there this week but probably will be the week after.

It was very nice getting the first ball right out of the middle of the bat, a very satisfying sensation!  Very Happy  Play some of those straight drives in a match and you will be scoring boundaries!

Hit off your own bowling? Very Happy

Good to see the switch went down well - not sure if i'll make many though.
