Nahhhhh I'm good thanks :P

Last season I made 149 runs from 15 innings, this season 144 from 6 (which included a duck when the game was already over)

In my last game for 2016, a kid made 42 off 249 balls. Batted for 75.4 overs total.

my uncle just called, they're playing Saturday and might be short a player, seeing if I wanted to play. haven't played for nearly 11 years and I'm like double the size now, and I can't run (accident), but we'll see what happens. I probably won't play (like 95% sure)  but I'll come along and have a few drinks anyway

So first game back this year (early Jan) I injured my shoulder, missed a good month of cricket which sucked. Returned via a casual T20 our club had going on, made 22 from 7 balls and retired (cause it was just casual). Won comfortably in the end.

Then last week played B Grade, got asked to open the batting and their openers were pretty flowering good. Saw out the first 15 overs, making about 10 runs, then when the first change bowlers came on I flowerin went out haha, so annoying. Took one of the catchers of my career though which was awesome, and we won by 40ish runs.

Then today got promoted to A Grade (probs cause I'm not available tomorrow aha). We were fielding first, and while warming up I was just doing catching practice and stuff cause only had one training session of bowling in the last 6 weeks or so. As we walk out to the middle, captain says I'm opening the bowling. I thought he was joking at first, but nah. Ended up taking 1/20 from 9 overs, should have had 3 wickets though if people could catch. And then after opening for B Grade last week, got put down at #9 to bat. Came in with about 30 or so to win, made 12* (give or take), and we won with 2 wickets in hand. Didn't get to hit the winning runs though :'(

Different grades play on different days, so that grounds are actually available for teams each weekend :p

So like I've played in A grade and C grade on Saturdays, and B grade on Sundays

ah yep! makes sense. do you get 2 days for the grannie or 3? I think we got 3 (could be wrong) so it'd be interesting to see if they played Sunday, Saturday and Sunday or 3 Sundays (that would be weird)

ODI! Haha
