Sudden Growth = Bigger Fall

To all that don't know how I got into playing league cricket, let me admit it was an accident. In fact, I was taken as a replacement for the AG's office (II Division, TNCA League) gloveman for only two matches in the 2007-2008 season. Looking at my decent ability with the gloves, I was asked to continue playing for them as wicket keeper in 2008-09. Poor things didn't know my (in)capacity with the bat.
The truth came out this season. Of the 5 matches I played, I managed a top score of 13 not out in a match that was declared drawn owing to bad light. My average was a stunning 5.33 with two ducks off the first ball I faced.
And to add to all that, I have been pushed down to III Division this year. Let's see what's in store. Not for me, for the team I am gonna play ;).

one match bad decision da. very bad. i was striking the ball well. another match, i was batting on 13. we were losing the match cos i was the only batsman left. then team asked me to complain of bad light (though there was enough light to play brett lee) and quit the game... and i had to do it!!! don't you think i deserve this average???

i will next time. those two sixes were in a match in the KSCA league. i have a good average there. above 40. TNCA 2nd division standard seemed too high. 13 had two fours in it. thats all. how've you been faring?
