undyingkingI've been asked to make up the numbers in a 15 * 8-ball-overs match this evening, playing for a BT team captained by the husband of a friend of T's. Yikes! I've not laid hand on bat or ball since the stag weekend two years ago -- and I was very hungover then, so even that probably doesn't count.
I have now managed to drag my various kit out of the loft, shed, and cupboard under the stairs where it had been lurking... hmm, need to clean spikes...
The captain hinted ominously that, as I can't bat at the best of times, I'll probably have to bowl 3 overs. Hmm, I've never bowled an 8-ball over -- sounds kind of tiring. Plus of course I'm (a) terribly unfit, and (b) likely to drop any ball that comes near me. Now would be a good point to make a crack about the England team, except that they seem to be dong pretty well at the moment. (There, that's death-cursed 'em...)
Wish me luck!
