It’s safe to say that our indoor cricket team is a bit up and down, performance-wise. Last week we played our best game of the season, winning comfortably by 40 runs. This week we lost by over 100.

Our captain has been away the last two weeks, so I have been filling in. Along with the ball bouncing off the net thing; counting overs in my head, and remembering how many overs each person has bowled is a struggle for me. So my captaincy ends up a little interesting. Or bad, however you want to look at it, you know.

Tonight we bowled first, and conceded over 50 runs after four overs. The other team didn’t take long to get their eye in, and it was soon raining copious amounts of fours and sixes. I saved my own bowling for the end (I had it planned before we started and changing that would have lost me completely), but probably shouldn’t have. Not that I managed to do anything amazing anyway, what with our wicketkeeper having given up actually taking the ball, and just getting out the way and waiting for the rebound of the back net (looking at you Sean). Though I did figure out a new way to stop batsmen scoring runs – bowl around the wicket at their legs – which works alright. They ended up making 200.

My little brother and I went in first, and sacrificed ourselves to try and get us off to a good start, but the other team called the bluff and used a couple of their good bowlers up front (do you like how that made the fact that we made only 11 runs sound so heroic?). I think we ended up making about 35 altogether.

(Ladies, please skip the next paragraph).

I got hit and felled at one point, and it ached for ages. I had a quick check though and it appears we’re all intact.

Our real problem is our fielding. It’s really bad. We gotta work on that.

You do know when you say the sort like “ladies, please skip the next paragraph”, we don’t. It’s best to just not draw our attention to it, because by that late in the blog, we’re usually just skimming anyway ;)
