As I do most Saturdays I played cricket. Was such a nice day, great sun, cool breeze, perfect cricket weather.
We were playing the team at the top of the ladder and we weren't the strongest team to be fielded this year. So we started the game with the attitude of lets just have fun. And we really did. I kept til drinks, then Marcus took the gloves and I got a good long spell of bowling. We couldn't catch for most of the day, so we just took turns making fun of each other. Then we batted out our innings getting all the way to our number 11. So everyone got a bat, most of us got a bowl, and we had a lot of fun.
I found a bit of form with the ball, and they were so far ahead I got to bat against part time spinners mostly, which was fun. It was a great day, even though we lost.
After the game, our captain, who should be playing in a much higher grade but stays with us because he loves the fun of playing with a heaped together bunch of misfits, washed all the dishes, wiped the counters and the tables, and basically impressed me with his servant heart. I have lived long enough now to realize its the little things that prove a mans integrity. I pray I would be better at those little things, and you too.

You're a big picture man, Rev. With your inspirational grand vision and charismatic leadership skills, you've got no time for the little details. Leave those to you sycophantic hangers-on.
And if you've not getting completely plastered after a game of cricket, you're not a true Aussie cricketer.
So hit the piss, shoot up the meths and get into it.
Good work bro! Was a beautiful day for cricket.
Sounds like someone has a grudge! Remember, in the great words of Billy Burmingham, a grudge (garage) is just a place you bark your car!!!
