Okay, so I'm feeling bloggy today.
Contributions to this blog have been great, but there has been one noticeable absentee - G Unit. This is the man of great cricket match reports - here are a few highlights from these, which also show the cricketing skills of some of the dual coders:
‘However, I was struggling with my landing in my delivery stride, having lost three sprigs from the front of my left boot; it was only the fact I managed 2 wickets in my 3rd over that kept me from taking myself off.’
‘The game started in slightly auspicious circumstances, as we were a player short and I believed I had left the scorebook at my place. Rauru took the toss in my place while I was trying to find the book; it turned out that I had put it in my bag after all and it was waiting back at the ground for me (I was later heavily fined for this, as you can imagine).’
‘However, Aaron and myself set about building a partnership. This gained momentum when their captain and taker of 6/12 in the first innings bowled a short one that I top edged into my right temple; the next 3 balls (which included an accidental follow-up beamer) all went for four.’
We went to the first drinks break on 121/2 after 22, needing 208 off 30 overs (RRR: 6.93). Aggression continued after the break, with Aaron also bringing up his 50. Unfortunately he could not quite get a big shot to long-on over the fielder, and perished for 61, ending a partnership of 125 with the score at 153/3.’
'Rauru came and went for a duck, but Jules and Nikhil saw us home with over 9 overs to spare, Jules finishing with 73* and Nikhil, his second 1* in as many games.’
Man, that Jules sounds good! Jesse Ryder like ...
Anyway, clearly there are writing skills galore on show here. While G admits to viewing and liking the blog he's apparently too busy to contribute. I brought that until these online risk games started - and Graham's epic poems masquerading as instructions to his dim-witted teammates started flowing. You clearly have time G.
So, with a move to goal keeper tomorrow, I think a decent comment is required. Please explain your goal keeping past, highlights, and how you see tomorrow panning out. Personally, I'm forecasting a 100% committed revelation at the back that may just push Jamie to 3rd choice keeper!
