Made me laugh when he said he had nothing to prove ..................... well.... what about taking a wicket with a ball that pitches in the 'right' half against one of the top order
Grrrrrrrrrr
Steve - do you play ?
I don't anymore. I used to play Sats and Suns...just village stuff...and run a social works team. SWMBO then came onto the scene and the rest is geography.
I used to either open the batting as new ball fodder...you know hang around for a bit, kill a few overs but hardly score a run...or go in for a swing at the end.
Was an offie in the Embers mould so got the odd over or two when our captain decided he wanted to make a game of it and give a few runs away!!
Hadn't played for a dozen years when I turned out for my new firm last August in a social, beer game and had to retire not out on 25 before coming back in when we were 9 down and scored a few more. Hadn't lost it in the spin department either bowling my 2 overs for 7 runs.
How about you?
