On me lonesome today. Random ramblings to follow. Blazing hot day. A hike for a pint, no fear of getting a beer belly. Strategically placed next to Simply Loos πŸ™‚

Intrigues me why they only have one beer tent at these cricket festivals.

There’s always a tall bloke with a hat that sits in front of you.

Pettini out first ball. Ouch!

Attendees at Colchester Cricket club obviously eat a lot of carrots!! Need binoculars to see the score board.

40 from Wheater. Good bit of hitting. One ball too far.

Attack of the dragonflies… Shah steady on 29

Well done to Shah and Westley on their respective 50s. Would have clapped but me hands were full with Beer, Dirty burger an’ chips. Westley bows out for 50.

Bloke in front trying to leave a hole in my foot with his chair. Second attempt; third time lucky?

Well played Shah, century. Foster getting in on the act, 50. Shah caught for 104. Ten Doeschate goes for a duck.
Foster bowled out for 66. Napier lbw 22

At the end of the 40 overs, a tidy score: 299 for 7

Spot the newbie teacher. Reading “Getting the Buggers to Behave”
