A Six Or A Nix
If the anticipation is really better than the act then I guess there will always be another mountain to climb. So now that I have bowled my Maiden Over I want to hit her for a six as well.
I will have to take strike on Middle and Leg. This maiden bowls a very fast in-swinger Around The Wicket that is very hard to get away if you are a bit late on the shot. She surely knows how to place her field. Hitting a six here is going to be risky for she has me well covered at Point. If it is wide I can try a Late Cut but I’m bound to be caught by the Third Man if I don’t get hold of her properly.
She has a very Fine Leg that keeps me looking over my left shoulder and she keeps moving her Long Leg to distract my attention. With that Silly Short On she makes things no easier for me while her Silly Point only complicates matters. The Sweeper on the Boundary is just to remind me of what awaits if I should dare to Drive over the In Field.
My only hope to hit a six here is if she strays a bit onto my legs so I can get down onto my right knee to tickle the ball over that unguarded area just in Front of Square on the Leg Side. What will it be; a six or a nix?
She stands there, ball in her hand, with that ‘You just dare to hit me’ expression in her eyes.
Every few minutes yet another female streaks across the field winking an eye at her, upsetting my blood pressure and hormone balance.
I’m sure she put them up to do it.To top it all, whenever I try to Take Strike somebody walks across the Sight Screen; taking my concentration away. These are all her doings.
Cricket can be such an interesting game.
Enjoy your day.

Good middle of the night from California CAt. Actually it is 1:52 here and chilly. But not snowing bad like where Leah is.
Quite! And every prize has a price.
Getting snowed up? Do not stand at the same place for too long.
This maiden does not like cricket. She loves it!
Of course, the USA plays baseball. So if it was a Short Stop in stead of a Short Leg, it may have made more sense to you.
Indeed, and she gets seasick. I can always go fishing when things get too much.
Cricket is a civilized game for gentleman, you won't understand it. You play baseball in the US of A.
Hang tight. This is not a 5 day test. It is a T20 international between South Africa and the West Indies at the Kensington Oval in Bridge Town, Barbados.
Interesting; I did not know.
Then why do you never make it to the world cup.
Such a big strong nation.
Enjoy your day also!!
Just wondering if there is a source for this...I believe your post has nothing to do with Cricket. i believe it is from the book of the Iluminatis. because this rumor has been going around for quite some time.
stay alert !
Yes you people rather play baseball.
Perhaps so but maybe you just don't have good enough players.
No truth in that rumor. And I was not elected to the main committee last year. All propaganda.
Did not see the typo in your name
At stumps I normally give the ball to a spectator. She is normally enthralled with it
Cricket does not compete with Golf
The whole world plays golf
And the whole world except the USA plays rugby and cricket. You just don't have good enough players.
mmmmmm I heard saying many a true thing bla bla bla
There will be no place to hide. The arms of an octopus reaches every where. A flea will have a better chance to hide on Yul Brynner's head.
You are puking on your feet.
You have bowled your maiden over
Beats me!
look at the umpire!
