First friendly for Alphas

    After almost 5 years of Prague-based cricket I've finally been able to play a proper game of cricket in England. My new club, Alphington CC, played in a friendly fixture against Kentisbeare CC.

Although on Friday the weather forcast wasn't too optimistic about playing conditions, the weather was really friendly today and let us have a full 40 overs game, mostly with overcast conditions but fairly warm and most importantly with no rain.

The ground favours batsmen as it is very small on both ends so Alphas' score of 233 all out is understandable. However, we were able to bowl the opposition out for 150ish in about 30 overs, so after all it also favoured the bowlers (excluding me...(too many wides, but that is, of course, not the field's fault...)) I also got the first 50 in England, I hope for more to come...

So, to wrap up a successful day, I'm going to bed..
