Played back to back matches this weekend.
Starting with the league match on Saturday, won the toss (that is 2 out of 2) and elected to bat. Pitch looked dry, temperatures getting warmer and the sun beating down. Hopefully the opposition will toil and we'll be able to post a decent total. Wasn't to be as we were all out for 61 and I managed a 10 ball duck trying to steady the ship batting at 8. Great rally in the end from my experienced opening bowlers, but eventually lost by 5 wickets.
Also got called up to play for the 1st team in the cup at short notice, along with 4 other 2nd team players. 2 blobbed at the last minute so we had to play with 9 men against a side two divisions above us. Got skittled for 26 and I only managed a 2 ball duck, got done by a straight and quick delivery which took out my middle stump but my footwork was a lot to be desired. Again we rallied well with the ball and field, but eventually lost by 5 wickets.
