Same for us, we play on the 15th and our first training is this sundayburkey_1988 said:Would you believe my first match is Saturday week and I haven't done any training yet ? We're such a slack group of guys
Must be enjoying playing all these big games, mate. I have only played in 3 4 day matches in my life.chooka_nick said:Wow man, that isn't bad at all! In my juniors comp it's fifty overs each, in seniors it's eighty, and for school it's thirty-five, so I get a bit of a mix.
Bloody hell!jamesicus said:I have been a leg break bowler for 66 years although these days I bowl (daily at a single stump) mostly for practice and exercise.
Although cricket is not much followed in the United States, we do have occasional (mostly five aside) informal matches in local parks here (double end stumps and bails) -- we have a contingent of (mostly middle-age) ex-patriot cricketers from the UK/Australia/India/Pakistan who live here. We all keep up to date with Cricket goings on via the Internet and swapping video tapes of matches from home (from family and friends).
I can still bowl pretty good leg breaks and my googly and top spinner still work -- but I mostly umpire these days.
