    I am 30
    February 5th, 2009

    Not so bad. In truth, I feel and act like I am 18. Jenifer would be standing to the side, pointing at me and nodding. We’ll chat next year. Surprise 30th’s are all the rage apparently and mine was a doozy; BBQ brekky at the rellies in Sydney before heading off to the game with members tickets.

    The breakfast was delicious, always good to catch up with my family. We opened

    Launching a new cricket site
    October 27th, 2008

    I’ve dusted off my old PHP cricket statistics website code, added a few necessities and am about to launch Butcher Cricket (presently http://ndcc.mike250.com while in transition from development to deployment). This is my brainchild from 2 years of work back in Colorado where I needed a cricket database but found everything out there useless or rediculously high priced. It all started with www.coloradocricket.org which I am proud to say runs independently by a group of cricketing volunteers.

    Man of the match
    October 14th, 2007

    Third game in the top division, and picked up man of the match in this one. It was also my first 2-day game since I played cricket as an under-15 way back in 1990 something. For those not in the know, it’s 90 overs each day and the one difference I see here is you pretty much are forced to declare at the end of 90 overs if you are still batting. I don’t see how you can have four completed innings in two days but we had a couple in the league this weekend.

    First Grade – Round Two
    October 9th, 2007

    We lost after weather adversely affected our run chase, they spelled my name wrong but in the end I had a decent outing again. Newspaper clipping attached.

    Basically we started in pretty shocking fashion with a host of wides giving the Lighthouse Keepers the chance to establish themselves at about six runs per over at the first drinks break. By the 2nd break they were well on their way to scoring 300. We pulled them back and fought beautifully to knock them over for a gettable 220.

    First Grade Debut
    October 1st, 2007

    Looking back at my first grade debut I have nothing to complain about and areas to improve on. That’s probably the ideal start as I already have in my mind things I want to work on this week. The team traveled to a very picturesque Port Kembla oval to take on last years lowest ranked team. I was impressed with the surroundings as I could see the ocean from the pitch. I don’t have much history but I believe both clubs are in rebuilding stages and would like to think both clubs should have come back pretty satisfied that things are improving.
