kimbOOOOOO, kimbO the batsman

[RanjO]

Clearly

 

[Kimbo]

I don't think I should bat anymore... might remind me of going out and almost dying!

 

[Kimbo]

opened again today... 48* (gutted! didnt realise how close i was...)

 

[RanjO]

spannOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:duh:

 

[Kimbo]

Got 30 today. Sh1te... I was well angry.

apparently I have been picked in the Hearts as a batsman. This is craaaaaaaazy... not that I could have been picked as a bowler. But things are going mad... I have become a batsman in about a month.

my team is 6 wins in 6 games. into the second round today. beaten every team. and the second placed team twice.

 

[RanjO]

Work your arse off at both......thats an order.

 

[Kimbo]

You know I will.

I'm lazy with most things in my life... not the important stuff though... not bowling (apart from that lazy front arm... hmmm)

 

[RanjO]

You make up for the lazy front arm with the energetic back leg

 

[Kimbo]

Its my momentum, my muscles cant put up a fight, the leg just flops round...

 

[RanjO]

FloppO

 

[Kimbo]

Bowled ok on occasion last night. Felt alright. Alright for a batsman

 

[RanjO]

what are they saying about your bowling, hope they still want you to work on it

 

[Kimbo]

Well they don't talk about my bowling at all to me. But I still goto the nets and bowl pies when I have a chance. It really bugs me that I can't do it anymore. I'm just lucky that the batting has come through to keep me getting into good sides... phew... things could have been really bad.

 

[RanjO]

You'll be fine. Still reckon you should work on your bowling and they should help, not as if there are hundreds of leggies out there.

 

[Kimbo]

Auck A coach said the other night he wants me to bowl at tournament, had a good chat and he said he will have a session with me at the nets sometime, bit of one on one.

So I'm an opening batsman allrounder. (who woulda guessed, 2 years ago I was fine leg to fine leg in prem grade hardly got to bowl, and batted number 11... I did my time!)

 

[RanjO]

You shouls be in the side for both of your assets

 

[Kimbo]

Coach said I am one of the two allrounders in the side.

Anyway, playing one of the stronger club sides today, and I will be bowling as always I assume (though on form I dunno why the captain bothers!).

Tomorrow I got a open wicket training where I will get a bowl too. Hopefully something will click for me, but it's been almost a year since I bowled properly...

 

[RanjO]

At Highgate school nets on your knee?????

 

[Kimbo]

That wasnt a year ago.

I do bowl well from my knee though.
