Real Life Cricket

Got my new stick today. Grant cricket bats. Made by a fella in Victoria, Caleb Grant

First game of cricket for 3 years, batting at number 11

Team was 8/28 until the next pair put on 39 and lasted 25 overs until one of them got out. After we failing to get my partner on strike for the next over I was forced to face. To not look like an idiot I thought I'd block, the ball got between bat and pad and goes through to the wicket keeper. For all that I know I thought the ball hit the stumps and I was walking off until I turned around after taking a few steps. 2nd ball I was told just have a swing. The field come in cause i looked like s spud batsmam, full delivery outside off I hit a cover drive out the middle and the ball smacked a short cover on the wrist (saving 4 not trying to catch it cause he didn't move) I got off strike. Next ball my partner gets out. Opponents chased it down in 23 overs ending up 4/76

At about 6:30 tonight I received a message the guy I hit has a slight fracture in his wrist

Thats my cricket career

did something similar in footy once.

Went to spoil a ball and an opponent came in from the side, so instead of punching the ball I punched (and fractured) his jaw. Broke my hand too hahah.

The junior team I umpired today managed to bowl 20 overs in 54 minutes in the final session. They fell that far behind their over rate they needed to bowl that quickly to finish on time. The overs went 90/4 as well so it wasn't overly poor bowling either.
