Sunningwell II 228/7 (Pickup 49*, Hussey 34)
Radley II 73 (Harris 3/7, Mosedale 3/29)
I still haven't decided if I'm delighted or gutted after that one. In all honesty, I didn't think I was close, but none of the last 22 balls of my innings were dot balls, and I could barely walk at the end of it. I really shouldn't have run a bye off the penultimate ball of the innings - and the other guys claimed they shouted my score out at this point - but I was long past caring, or trying to do anything beyond hit the ball as hard as I physically could. Final stats were 62 balls, 79 minutes, and four fours.
I can see why Sangakkara doesn't like keeping and batting, let's put it that way.
And here's
proof.
Final season stats: 201 @ 16.75; career stats: 633 @ 9.59. I scored more today than I did in my first 21 innings combined.
