It was great to be playing cricket last Saturday afternoon. It was the first time since I injured my finger, so there was some apprehension on my part as to how my finger would hold up, especially to any firmly struck balls in my direction when I was fielding.
However, I needn't have worried. I didn't have too many hard chances to field and the bowling wasn't strong enough to seriously worry me. It allowed me to get my eye back in and I scored 33 before I was run out trying to take a quick single that wasn't quite there.
I am looking forward to the coming matches and maybe even getting a bowl.
For the record our team scored 256 for 7 declared and drew the match as we failed to bowl the opposition out. They hung on to record 102 for 8, after being about 18 for 5. Maybe next time!

Well done on your return to open pastures of the cricket arena. Any lesser a man wouldn't have returned after such turmoil. Keep on showing that never say die Aussie grit and determination. You're my hero! Congrats on the 33 too.
p.s. Have you got any photos of you guys at Wimbledon??
