Despite the poor turnout we still managed to have a bit of fun. The run total is probably low due to the grass being long and not allowing for the ball to run away readily, but that was partly offset by the fact that we didn't have a full compliment of fielders. It would be nice to have 13 blokes turn up or more on days like this as it would mean a lot less time would be taken up waiting for people to walk out of fielding positions and get padded up as there could always be 2 blokes waiting to come on and someone scoring or umpiring or both. That's providing we practice in this manner.

New bloke Suhail suggested that practicing in this way isn't that affective as if you're like me and you go out for a duck you never get that much practice and you never get the chance to face a range of bowlers and he suggested that the system we used last week was far more affective - which is true.
