Slowly getting it right at crickert

After a terrific season with the bat in the UK I returned to Sydney cricket with a knowledge that conditions may not suit me quite so well as they did in the UK. The tamer bowling in London, combined with less bouncy pitches suit my batting style.

My efforts at GWRCC for 2007 were 212 runs @ 35.33, ending up eighth for the club for those who had batted a minimum of 7 innings.

Now in Sydney after four batting efforts I have a total of 14 runs. But things are starting to come together. With a bit more concentration and effort over the coming matches I should start to score alot more runs.

But in spite of my efforts with the bat the team is looking good. We recorded another win this weekend, which gives us four on the trot, and play the comp leaders next weekend.

My holiday is over

The last time I was officially employed was early to mid July. That was in the UK. Since then, we have packed up our lives, toured part of the midwest USA and headed home. We have also caught up with family and friends here in Australia.

Now, I start work.

Since the false start of almost a month ago I have worked hard to find another job quickly. And now I start on Monday for a leading IT distributor here in Sydney. It should be a great role, focusing on marketing the products of one of their key vendor partners.

It is going to be a little strange getting up Monday morning to head into work for the first time in ages but I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into it and I am sure Natalie will be pleased to see me productive again - though I should point out that we may have a slightly different opinion of productivity where high scores on the Nintendo Wii are concerned. :)
