A winter in Canada seems to have done wonders for my cricket! The great British weather permitted us our first game of the season last weekend in Abinger Hammer which ended in a thrilling draw - a perfect Habgoods CC result really. My bowling was a bit rusty but I managed 2 wickets for 15 runs off 7 overs. But then I went out to play one of my most cavalier innings with the bat ever. My first four scoring strokes all went for 6! In the end I got seven sixes and finished 75 not out! I had to have a lay down after I'd finished: I thought it might be the end of the world.
