Journey through the ways of getting out

I have just come back from my 3rd game of cricket for MIT here in Boston. We found the mural below on the way to the cricket ground. There really is good support for cricket here from the Indian and West Indian communities.

We initially bowled well and I fieled quite well, although was running from position to position in order to be ready for a catch. For quite a few overs I was running from Long on to Long on. We let them get away and they set us a total of around 220.

I came in quite late and was looking to stay in for quite a while. I was looking good unitl I was involved in a run out (for 1!) and let's just leave it at that. So continues my journery through the methods of getting out. So far bowled, LBW and now run out. I'm hoping to be caught next week.

I have some great photos of us putting down the matting. Click on the photo to see them.

You should be taking the GPS out with you and mapping your travels around the oval. Could be interesting.
