Sorry for not replying earlier sharkboy.
Looks like I'll be out for at least the first half of the season.
I've been offered an Umpiring gig and the money is just too good to refuse. I plan to make sure that I qualify for the semis but, which means I have to play three games after 31 Jan.
My first game was a forfeit, so I filled in for one of our lower grade sides. Lucky I made it, 'cause I turned up half an hour after game start and made the seventh player (which meant they were allowed to start the game). Me and the four eyed drunk ranga put on 41 for the last wicket. It didn't take the opposition long to pass our majestic total of 56 :lmao.
I managed 2-72 off 8
. I was still a bit pissed and fiery from the night before, and wasn't happy that I wasn't gonna get any Umpiring money, that I was bowling to five fielders, had started smoking again, had one dude plumb only to be given not out by his teamate, was playing with the four eyed drunk ranga again, and worst of all, was bowling full toss leggy tripe. I ended up bowling full toss sh!t offies for two overs but managed to sort it out and get 0-6 off my last two.
So even though I only bowled leggies for four overs, I'll take it on the chin and say that my strike rate is currently 24
If we count your 20/20 game that makes your strike rate 19.5. If we don't count it your strike rate is 33. Which do you choose
Good news but, the Association ended up giving me a hundred large for turning up to the forfeit, and I ended up picking up another sixty for another job I ended up doing after the game.
The wedge has been well spent
