I reckon we must be in to week 4 of a very dry and sunny spell here in the UK and as you can see our practice wicket in the Paddock is drying up and big cracks are appearing just short of where I bowl. I gave it a mow this morning with a lowered blade. I've left the middle of the wicket for the moment but I may finish it off tomorrow. The bowlers end though is a bit of a mess - very uneven in comparison with the batting end and if it rains heavy over the summer I'll look to trying to improve it and level it out a bit more.

I've got an away match tomorrow and I'm not 100% sure where it is, so I wont actually know till I turn up at the pool and find out where the venue is. Lets hope I can be more effective than I was last week?
