Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
gotta love those quality debuts as a young fella. and because you'd never faced these bowlers and you were opening you would just tell yourself that they can't be that good - nothing to worry about. then you'd see them mark out their run up, you'd look back and see how far back the keeper and slips were standing and you'd walk up to Johnny Bray at the non strikers end who always refused to face the first ball and say "mate if i get my pad or bat anywhere near this I'm running so you'd better be ready!!!!!!"
was that everyone or just me?
