We won!!!!
« on: August 29, 2006, 11:54:06 AM »
My ladies cricket team won our first 6-a-side tournament yesterday!  And even better...we beat our rivals who had crushed us in 2 regular season games.  Happiness is beating Alexandra Palace and seeing them all bummed out!  They thought they'd rule us & they DIDN'T!!!! Woo hoo!

p.s.  I played really, really well...ha!  American's can play cricket and well too!

wow we have a chauvanistic sports barrier here in the uk? I know in some of the sports some of them can be quite sexist against men but had not realised the guys did it too.

Cheerio! Good job ... how did you learn to play cricket, even more impressive coming from an American!

It sure ain't cricket!

My DF is a cricket player as are a load of my field hockey club friends...so it was just natural to join them on the Ladies Cricket team...it's really not that complicated once you have someone explain it.  I don't understand everything and am still learning, but the basics are rather easy.  And it's darn fun to be bashing the ball around with a huge bat!
