Indoor Cricket - SALVOS ARE PREMIERS!
It's been a couple of years coming now... we haven't won a premiership for a while, and we were only one ball from missing out again! Yeah... we won by just 3 runs!
We played against Eagle Boys, who had beaten us twice before. The first two times we played, we got progressively closer to a win. The first time we lost by about 40 runs, the second time losing by only 2 runs... This time (and with only 7 players - Alex was away) Dave Newby was on strike for Jackpot ball and needing 3 runs for a tie or 4 runs to win. We held our breath and jumped up yelling for victory when he managed to tap the ball into back half of the side net to secure a sweet win.
Although we fielded really well and kept them to a low total of 110, Nath and I batted rather terribly (although in the semi final we shone with 58 partnership) managing a dismal minus 8! (Nath -17, Brett 3). However Timbo & Dan, Pete & Dave and the final partnership of Luke & Dave (they chose Dave to bat again since we were 1 player short) saw us home! Final score 110 to 113.
The new comp of 10 weeks starts tonight and I'm looking forward to figuring out what's been going wrong with my batting.
Holidays and stuff
Eli had three weeks of school holidays previously. Janene and I took it in shifts to take time off work and be home. While at home I got a lotta stuff done here and there, and also spent a lot of time with Eli. We played cards together (snap, fish... and that other game with 7 piles of cards and you try and get rid of all your cards etc).
Tell more later...
I've decided that if I don't post this now, by the time I finally remember everything that's happened, this post will be another month or two old! Best idea is that I just keep posting as things happen.
