The social aspects were good, if brief.

Teams collectively scoring 59 don't tend to win much

Sorry DV - perhaps you were just up against the wrong team - have you asked if the geriatrics have a team?

Too many Kiwis in our team, that's my explanation.

They ain't that good, we batted terribly, no excuses.

These facts say much ...

1) My incompetence faced many more balls than 9 of my team-mates
and
2) Wides top-scored with 16

Best left in the past and we can move on.

Yup, will be a ... challenging ... series. I hope KP has learnt how to play spin in his absence ...

Actually the team we played against yesterday were called the Punjab XI.

No shortage of guys from the subcontinent playing in the Warehouse Leagues that's for sure.

They used to have a liquor licence at the clubhouse but it cost too much to renew, sadly our tradition of bringing an esky has lapsed a bit.

Job Update - Took a phone call from my prospective employer today, no need for another interview, salary agreed, paperwork forthcoming.

Right, back to cleaning the house and fixing the mower ...

My excuse is that I don't open the batting to score runs.
