All the bats were shabby old efforts with chips and cracks in them – couldn’t rustle up enough new ones in time! They are a couple of Salix, a Gray nicholls and a mystery yellow one…
And yes Miriam – twas a lovely wedding indeed.

Daisy and her sisters were lacrosse fiends in their pomp.

A similarly bonkers and scary activity IMHO.

The thought of all three of them hurtling towards me with a purpose in mind and me in the way is the subject of many a nightmare, I can tell you.

Great match report, Bradders.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it… As far as I can tell, hurling is a sort of aerial hockey without rules and is bloody dangerous.

Interestingly, the grip is held the opposite way round to cricket and this apparently is why Eoin Morgan is so proficient at the reverse sweep. Truth or bollocks, we’re not sure, but an interesting possibility…

And Bert, she does come home with a few bruises post game. Fortunately I haven’t been on the receiving end yet.

Fantastic match report!

That thing looks almost like a hockey stick. Or perhaps I am seeing things because I’ve been in Canada for more than a year now.

There is a second part to this, Bert and it is from September 2010. We plan on publishing it tomorrow. What do you make of that?

You married a girl who knows how to wield one of those things? Jeez.

Apart from that, a perfect match report. And well done KC for breaking another match-to-match-report speed record.
