Volcano Cup

Hi all,

some pics below from a weekend of International cricket. Lots of fun although I was scorer on the Saturday which is more tiring than you might think. Played on Sunday, kept wicket when we fielded and actually took a catch behind of a player by the name of Illingworth. Then opened the batting scored ten runs off 5 balls and then rather stupidly got myself out LBW trying to pull a ball that stayed low. Oh well. One of the teams sponsors are the local brewery, so on Saturday we were quite literally invited to a piss up in a brewery. I put my poor performance on Sunday down to that.

Off to Mexico tomorrow (Monday 21st Dec) so hopefully have some photos and news of our hols up soon. Hope everyone is well and Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, where ever you are spending it.

The scorer hard at work. Not as easy as it looks.

Although I did receive a very nice plaque for my efforts.

In wicket keeping action.

A call up for England can't be far off. A possible replacement for Bell?

Judge trudges back to the Pavillion, a wry smile on his face. No more cricket for him today, although a nice cold beer and a big fat cigar await.

Anybody would think we had won!!

Cricket

Hello everyone,

Another week nearly done and only a week of school left to Xmas. Looking forward to Mexico and relaxing on a Caribbean beach. However, before the holiday there is the small matter of El Salvador v Costa Rica. The international cricket fixture that everyone is talking about, well at least 50% of this household anyway. The squad for the two games was announced at the end of last week and I'm glad to say that I made that squad. Tonight was was the first of several training sessions before the first game and those in attendance got their team kit, ready for the big fixture. Pictures of which I have kindly included below.

In other news, Simmie is busy writing Xmas cards to send back to the UK. With luck you'll recieve them sometime around Easter.

Also visited an orphanage with the kids from my class today. We delivered presents and Xmas cards, sung some songs did some dancing and played football. Some pretty cute kids there and when they sung a thank you song at the end it tugged at the old heartstrings I can tell ya.


Pictures of the new season El Salvador Cricket kit.

I'm sure replica kits will be available soon in all good sports shops, and some rubbish ones too.

I think you'll agree, a pretty stylish bit of kit.

More on the sporting event of the decade in future posts.

Twitter

Now I'm doing tweets, but they're rubbish. I've set myself the task of making them the most inane comments I can. This seems to be what everyone does, so I am in no way being original.

My twitter name is Superjammin, (yeah I know, cool) if you want to follow.

Xmas lunch.

Hey all

Forgot to take any pics, but Simmie and I have just returned from our first expat Xmas dinner. Well not my first I had an expat Xmas dinner in the Gulf in 1991when I was in the RN, but our first together. Funny having turkey, brussel sprouts and the rest. Although for me the big let down was the lack of funny hats and no crackers (except Simone).

On Saturday its our big Xmas/house warming party. I'm gonna try and get some video of the party next week on to the blog for all those who won't be able to make the party.

Happy Xmas(the first salutation of many) everyone.
