I’m happy, I just came back from blind cricket and it was really good.
As you may already know I am a very sporty person despite being very unfit and all my bone issues.
Anyway cricket today was really good, I did really well, I really struggle with bowling, and I’m not really strong enough to throw the ball the entire length of the crease. So this time rather than trying and solely focusing on trying to get the ball to the target, the coach told me to come about 4 feet further forward, so I did.
The result was amazing! I got 2 bowlers out and was 100% more accurate. Now I am forgetting about my pride and shall just move forward!
My batting was also really consistent which was good, we did not score many runs in my partnership but we both where hitting well.
So I think I have found my sports calling, there is still a very special place in my heard for woman’s football but its not something I can compete in.
I love cricket, I do however currently have a slight problem I have not got my own bat, so this means I use my clubs bats, there bats are perfectly adequate and fine but it does mean I get a different bat each time I play, I might use say 4 in a session.
This is a bit of a problem as it means I am using bats that are different weights, are different sizes and have different grips and handle lengths.
That means it makes batting really difficult as all cricket players will know all of the things I have mentioned will affect my batting posture and swing.
So I am now saving up to buy a bat, I need one that is standard size with a long handle I have decided so I will be shopping around for either a really cheap one or a second hand one or one in a sale. Probably can’t afford to buy a new one although that would be nice.
