Exhausted and going to be sore from the first full weekend of cricket (80 overs in the field across the two days) for the better part of ten months.
Apaches (who need a name change) bowled out Dolphins for 143, and are 0/32 from ten, and i ended up with 4/13 from 5.4 overs - one C&B, lbw (plumb as), one caught with a sloppy shot popping it up to cover and the irrepressible Nikunj, and finished of with a gentle nick thru to the keeper.
Backed it up today with 2/6 from 3 overs both bowled off the pads, with ball swinging late, and gripping off the turf to straighten on the batters. Also took a sharp low catch at slip off KMac's bowling. Didn't have to bat, as the boys comfortably chased down the 87 run target with 5 wickets in hand.
Rode to the game, but got caught in the wrong lane and was forced to take the M4 tunnel which dumped me out the far side of the ground, so i had to stop and figure out how to get back. Riding in traffic is still mildly terrifying, but that's probably a good thing, and will keep me alert. I even got up to 80kph today! Go me.
The old bloke remains in hospital, but he is going through physical rehab, and i think they are planning on releasing him next week. We will see.
