Season Cycle
// 18th July
The volume of sport about in recent days is making me happy.
After losing our indoor cricket semi-final last week, no time was wasted in kicking off the new season this week. Our first round game was against a new team in the competition, and while they weren’t a bad team, they were all getting towards middle-aged, and weren’t sure of all the intricacies of the indoor version of the game. Our batting was more aggressive than usual (a good thing), and we made 150 with relative ease. Under some peer pressure - Dave tells me between every ball to ‘have a swing’ - I put all of my massive upper body strength* into a couple of shots that just got me out.
Our bowling was a little sloppy, however our fielding was better than usual, because there wasn’t as much pressure put on us. I had to keep for a bit, which is always fun, and I effected a couple of runouts and a stumping. I tried a slower ball while bowling, and it went over the batsman’s head. I tried it again in my next over and it came out much better. The batsman swung too early and was bowled. I then took two wickets in the next two balls for a hat-trick, and ended up with four wickets in five balls. Just in case you thinking I may have talent, this was all in the last over of the game, when it was all well and truly decided already.
Le Tour de France has been tops the last few days. The mountain stages have been great to watch, and last night’s Stage 9 in The Alps was tops. Soler came up with the stage win after a good attack on the mountain, and Cadel Evans finally got in the game. I wish it wasn’t televised so late at night, I’m getting tired.
*I estimate this to be about 0.25N by the time actual strength and timing are taken into account.

I am a bit sick of cycling in general. It seems every year there is some sort of drug scandal. Its a bit of a fail. Hey what a surprise, the current tour leader is also embroiled in a doping scandal.
