Guess what? My junior match today managed to top the senior match from yesterday. Team A makes 156/4 from their overs (Batted slowly probably cost them in the end). Team B coasting at 134/3, I had to take drinks early because the fielding side were getting aggro at each other and just being poor. Both set bats throw their wickets away, and it's 153/5 (still game over right?). 153/6 and I tell the bowler as I take his hat a hattrick would make things interesting. Well I didn't get a hattrick but I did the 3 in the over, 153/9....

Numbers 10 and 11 got the batting side home but wow, from ripping into each other only 5 overs before hand, into almost winning.

Next match is a T20 on Tuesday, safe to say I have high expectations now!

We got knocked over for 125ish today after only 30 odd overs, still had another 15 to go. I had to open in like 34 degree heat cause we were missing both our openers, made 20ish from like the first 5 overs then hit one a bit too well that carried to mid off (almost cleared him, flowering middled it unfortunately :P).

Then we knocked em over for 40ish, and then again for 30ish, to win outright 8)

Turns out my flowering bat broke yesterday, didn't even notice until I went to change my grip this evening. Ffs >:(

Clearly your bat only broke because it's not an unbreakable Clarke Spartan  ::)
