Well thought it was about time I gave you all another update. To be honest, apart from yesterday, I had not really been up to that much... Other than my desired sport of choice, that is. Which I can finally say, bowling is going well. my action has come together nicely, and I now know what works for me.
Anyway, onto yesterday, when I spent the day at the Home of Cricket... No, not KGV, Lords! Dream come true for me, always wanted to go to Lords, and well had my chance...
... It was yet again another scorcher, 29 degrees, about 20 in the shade, and England battling to win, Pakistan not to lose. But lets forget about the cricket...
...Anyway, got the train to Waterloo, then the tube out to somewhere close to Lords (forgot what its called now - St Johns Wood, thankyou Johnny McCoy!), then walked to the ground. Sat below that hideous big media box thing, but it doesn't look as bad when you are there. The nursery ground is so small, thats the ground at the back, and you can go sit down on the grass and have a picnic. We did, but more beer than food was consumed on the day it has to be said. Now, we decided to go find some shade, Mound Stand, beautiful idea, but you have to have, well your supposed to have your mobile phones switched off in that grand stand, I didnt of course, and didn't get kicked out surprisingly, and at the end of the day I scored quite possibly the greatest piece of Lords memorabilia you couldn't get anywhere - A BBQ apron. Oh yes, an official Lords apron which one of the lovely young ladies working behind the bar gave me on her way out, because, well, to be honest all the boys were pestering everyone for either an MCC tie, a stewards vest, or me of course the apron. I won out, and the boys were extremely happy with my get. The Boys, for the record, were Metters, Chrissy Jnr and Skillsy.
We also got a picture with Rameez Raja, Pakistani commentator, check out my blogs photo album, there should be a couple newbies on there now! A few more coming as well in the very near future, got some great pics of Lords.
Well everyone, apart from that haven't been up to much really, got a few big games coming up, league table is very tight and anything could happen if we win the next couple... And to think, 4 out of 5 games we have lost chasing when we should have won, we should be on top!!! If only that bloody overseas player was any good!
Not long now and I'll be home, look forward to seeing you all soon. Stay Classy!
