Match Day
It was a big day today. Leicestershire are a very good team and a win today would be an excellent result.
By 7:30 I had eaten my breakfast of porridge and honey :happy and had put my tracksuit on and was driving towards the ground. There was not much traffic around and I had soon arrived at the ground. As I pulled in I saw Martin arrive giving a lift to Cooky and Jimmy. Those big scrounges Cooky looked pretty bad and had obviously been out last night so it would probably be best for him if we were batting first
I headed into the changing rooms talking to Martin about the West Indies tour in South Africa. He was saying how he had never liked Graeme Smith and thought that the sooner he left the team the better. Eventually the full team had turned up and the coach started to talk to us.
"Right guys. This match is pretty important as if we are to win this we will know we have played well. The bowling attack of Willoughby, Gibson and De Freitas is very good so watch out. But we have discussed this all in training. The groundsmen have said the pitch is pretty docile so we will bat first if we win the toss. I think it is time for everyone to get ready.
Rob if you want to head into the away team's changing room and tell Paul Nixon it's time for the toss?"
We watched on the TV as the toss was conducted. Michael Atherton was there and conducting the interviews. Leicestershire won the toss:
(Everyone cheered in the changing room with me being mentioned)
So we had loss the toss but would be bowling first. Matty and David started padding up preparing to head out. It was a bit overcast and quite mild so the ball might swing a bit but our boys could deal with it.
As the skip arrived back into the changing rooms he put the Leicestershire team sheet on the table. I walked over to have a look at it.
There bowling attack as Nixon had said looked very dangerous. Hopefully Matt and David would be up to the challenge. They also had a few good batsmen in there so it was a pretty strong team. Nixon would also be one to look out for as his power hitting towards the end of an innings could take a match quickly out of a bowlers hands.
The umpires eventually turned up and said it was time for the openers to head out. We all cheered them and tried to boost their confidence as they left. We all began to walk up the stairs to the balcony to watch the proceedings. I was hoping for the team that I did not have to go in to early but a selfish part of me hoped I would have to, so I could try and impress any important people watching me.

With the overcast conditions I think bowling isn't such a bad idea.
