A Message?
It promised to be fun. A mate had enticed me into a game of cricket for my local club. Five of us oldies in the team. I had advised him that I would go into intensive training to prepare.
Anyway, it was fun... while it lasted.

Last time I agreed to play a one-off game of cricket, I tore my calf muscle four overs into the game. This time? Well, you can see the result. Finger broken and in a splint. Oh, and it was dislocated too. But that's not the worst of it - I dropped the catch in the process! Luckily the boys went on to win the game and have a few laughs at my expense in the pub afterwards (whilst I was still at the hospital).
I guess I'm a slow learner. I should stay retired and stick to the golf course.
Anyway, if any of the boys are reading this and want to know how my finger is, here's the answer!

I'm umpiring the finals for my comp, but that's because I'm surplus to requirements it seems :-)
