John,
Watching your children compete and learn in any sport is an adventure well
worth the time and effort. Congrats on allowing them to select and keep a
favorite photo. Many a parent without your camera skills will enjoy the
photos as well.
Your description of the game was interesting and well documented. As
someone never exposed to the game however, it made absolutely no sense
except for the fact that your team won.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us and the rest of the parents on
the team.
Ric
I admire your sentiment Ric. For those who don't understand cricket,
it is great to play when you have a clue about bowling ... and about
catching a hard, heavy ball travelling at quite high speeds. Batting
takes some courage as well, if the bowler is a fast one. It is a
slow game, but when you have a close interest in the members of an
amateur team, it is exciting - especially when the rules are intended
to speed up a youngsters' game as in this case. Unfortunately, the
professional game is not going through a good patch at present, under
threat as it is from corruption by greedy promoters, gamblers and
players.
I enjoyed your story John... nice to hear about a decent cricket game
for once :-).
Chris
