Well, again I have been slack and not written on the blog for ages.
It has been an eventful cricket time since I last wrote here, as I played the second half of a very eventful game indeed.
After we got to 269 all out at the end of day one the opposition embarked on an interesting journey to score the same as us, even though they have claimed the win.
We fielded all day with some of the worst umpires (from their own team) that I have ever experienced.
This was really cheating taken to a new level. We must have had 10 plumb LBW's and none of them were given - what an absolute disgrace! I have never seen cheating like it on a cricket field. When we walked off at the end of the game to our changing room, we were given abuse and told that WE had cheated in the game - . this was rich coming from them as they had done the scoring all day and the books added up. Anyway, we left the ground thinking it was a tie and then on the Monday, an official complaint was put in by the opposition to contest the declared result. This won't be heard for a while - I don't know what the grounds were, as they are contesting our score of269, even though they put in on their website the week before as the end of the first days play score. All I can say is that I am glad we only play each team once, as I never want to play Burwood Briars ever again.
I managed to have the worst net of all time on Wednesday this week, it was one really from the rubbish pile, however, I have been put up a team for this weekend, which is the highest team I can play in, as there is another overseas playing in 1st grade. So I am happy about that, I just need to score runs now to stay there.
That is about all to report on the cricket front, but this time I will update here sooner.
