Nah, I got bullied severely in my high school's cricket program and politics was involved way too much where I played, took out the bowling trophy in all 5 seasons I played but bowled an average of 3 overs a game in a 40 over format. So just gave up.

I hope to one day return though, maybe at Uni for the Adelaide Uni side or something. Ive let my body go since the end of 2 seasons ago and have put on close to 15kg, something Im not proud of, and will be something I have to remedy if I ever want to get back into it. Remember how good it felt to make my first representative squad (got selected in the initial U14 state squad a few years back but getting cut when the final squad was announced) and its those sorts of things I miss dearly, being part of a team

That's terrible to hear mate. It's a new life outside of school though, I'm in the closing few days of school myself and that's what I keep hearing.

Once you get out of school I'm sure you'll find success at another club mate. Sounds like you got talent you can use.

Yay Cricket season :D 2nd season of umpiring the game (Yes I'm an umpire). It's enjoyable though, and someone's gotta do it ;)

I get $110 for a day (4.5 hours/80 overs maximum). Pay before the start of the day, in cash. Have received that money for only 3 hours work before though, match finished early on the 2nd day :D
