Well i went to the cricket match last friday in the end, i took the gamble dispite the looks of the weather all morning and the fact we had constant light rain during the morning before i left, I'm glad i did in the end as it turned out to be great entertainment throughout the afternoon, with the likes of Jimmy Adams/Henry Olonga/Greg blewett/Nantie Hayward all in the Lashings side.
The Lashings side batted first and scored 138 of there 30 overs with only Henry Olonga scoring over 50, I'm not sure but i think the fact Bunburys had at least 18 in the field at one time may have helped keep the score down for them this yr as last yr Lashing rattled up 270.
The Bunburys batting was pretty good with a couple of minor celebsish ppl with Chris sutton and James Major playing for them, the only unfortunate note to the after noone was James Major being carried off the pitch and taken to hospital by ambulance due to an ankle injury while batting, The rest of the Bunburys innings was none evetful and after there 30 overs the match ended as a draw with them also scoring 138 in there alloted overs.
In the closing overs about 19:00pm the weather did change for the worst with the rain starting to fall and thunder and lightning flashing and rumbling around the area, thankfully the main fury of the storm hit just as i got in the car to go home.
I had phoned work during the tea inteval to see how things were going and if anything needed my attention, My colleague who i spoke to told me a customer had just phoned and said he had just taken a picture of what he thought was a tornado that could be seen from his back garden, as it turned out from reports in the local press later it hadnt touched down so was only classed as a funnel cloud, still fer this time of yr were havin some odd weather.
Also having 3days off work did feel really weird.
