Ouch 2!

The old saying "like father, like son" has seen a little reversal yesterday.

Playing in the first game of the new cricket season in Sydney, my father suffered a compound dislocation of the thumb in his right hand while attempting a catch.

While I needed four stitches, my father needed six. So like me, he will probably miss a large proportion of the cricket season while he recovers.

Meanwhile we are having the weekend off in cricket. My team will be in the final of a one-day competition in two weeks time but in the meantime we have a 'friendly' next week against the side we played the day I injured my finger.

He was bowling so well too! What a shame!! I suppose he just thought to himself anything you can do I can do better.
