Games….Finally!!

After a nice cool day at the zoo Sunday was finally game time!!  The day started early….around 6 30 am.  A quick shower and breakfast to go later, we were at Chaguanas to catch the team maxi taxi (mini bus) to the ground.  We were playing in “Arima”  on a school ground.  We got there bright an early around 8 am, only for an 8 30 am start to be delayed to a 10 am….Trini time start.   But as they say here….tha is small ting (that’s no big deal).  With a total of 6 teams there, a full day of super sixes games was organized.  Our club “Phoenix” had the second game of the day and played a total of 5 games.  Each side got 4 overs and each bowler could bowl a maximum of 2 overs.  Though i didn’t bat, in a way today was a great start for me since i was bowling spin instead of pace.  I played four out of the five games and bowled in three of the four i played.  The first game I bowled one over for 4 runs and 2 wickets.  Second game one over 2 wickets for i think 3 or 4 runs.  Third game i got a tad smashed up loll but still ended up getting a wicket.  I bagged 5 wickets for the day and was apparently the second highest wicket taker in the tournament.  Our club ended up winning the tournament in great style!!  I’ve been very fortunate since our club coach Mr. Trumpet agreed to coach me on off spin bowling.  Hope i can get the jist of it by the end of this month!  It’s off to club training tomorrow and ohhh might i add….cant wait for CARNIVAL next week!!
