After the mammoth 12 over spell of Saturday, I got a reprieve yesterday, bowling just the 9 overs. The ball is coming out beautifully at the minute though. Wasn't quite as good as Saturday, as I was a tad stiff, but it still came out nicely. We fielded first, I opened. Took out one of the openers caught down the leg-side, but again could easily have had 3 or 4 if things had gone my way. Hoping this continues tbh, could pick up a hat-ful if I keep bowling like this. Ended up with figures of 6-2-19-1 yesterday, although the play-cricket site has me down as 6-5-19-1. If that was true I'd have been annoyed by that over of 19. :laugh
We ended up needing just 105 to win. I batted 3 (dunno why I'm suddenly up the order, not making any runs) and played a beautiful on-drive to get off the mark. The adrenaline of that shot got into my head though, as next ball I played a Phillip Hughes-esque flash out-side the off-stump, only managing to edge the ball to slip, being sharply caught for 2. I'm due a score, I can feel one coming. I feel in really good knick with the bat, just keep chucking my wicket away. Will do some work in the nets on Thursday and hopefully get a few runs and a few more wickets next weekend. Been a handy start to the season, loving it.
