Take One Cricket Ball...

Add a sunny Saturday afternoon in the glorious Dorset countryside and two U14 teams. What could be a better setting for a spot of cricket.



Aaron here with a bit of bowling - limited to 5 overs in this 30 over match. The first stint being 3 overs where he takes 3 wickets - one catch, one lbw, and one clean bowl.



The opposing team, Sherborne, built a mighty score of 63 so far...



Aaron bowls again - coming in for his 5th and final over.... he bowls



...He scores.... middle stump gone... bails still in the air.... Oh yes.... thats it 63 all out!! Followed by a modest celebration...



In the end Blundells win - not by much really - their batting being quite average - 64 runs for 8 wickets (Aaron in next) but at least its a win.

The question is - 4 wickets but for how many runs? Whats his real score? How good is he?

On Yer Bike Ben

Had a great phone call from Ben last night telling me he can ride a bike. A bit wobbly according to Jess but he can do it. Brilliant news.

Looks like I'll have a tandem for sale soon!
