Season's End

Well, that's it. Mid-September is here and the season's cricket has ended. So what was all that about? Let's have a season's review!

First of all, we actually played rather well and only lost one game. This was a magnificent effort considering no games at all were won last season. We finished second in our division and secured an automatic promotion place (Check out League Tables and Division 3 with this link).

And so to the traditional end-of-season awards. I hope the Penn Cricket Club Committee will see fit to make these proposed trophies a reality.

Best Shorts: Steve Tranter

Best Thermal Undergarments in a Supporting Role: Chris Rudge

Biggest Wuss: David Potts for the Cricket Ball In The Face Incident

Most Entertaining Player From Another Club: Shouty

Most Terrified Player From Another Club: Nervy

I have to say thanks to everyone that has given positive feedback about this blog. There was only one person who provided unfriendly criticism along the lines of "The blog is self-indulgent poorly written rubbish and haven't you got anything else to do you lazy git", but she had just finished scrubbing my cricket whites clean.

I've enjoyed writing the blog. It's been a funny old record of events. From a Post Office induced back injury, through the Deselection Blues, a smack in the face from a cricket ball, an RAF Fly Past, THE TOTALLY BRILLIANT MR. SHOUTY, a name change to D. Perks, right up to a tribute from Ol' Blue Eyes himself. All very strange, but made bearable by sharing the season with great team mates who've enjoyed the banter just as much as the cricket.

As for me, the bones and joints are a bit creaky lately, and the days after games are becoming more painful to bear. Will I play next season?

You betcha.

To be a upright lenient being is to have a kind of openness to the mankind, an skill to group unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can lead you to be shattered in very outermost circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important thither the condition of the principled autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a sparkler, something kind of fragile, but whose mere special beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
