Aussie cricket legends - the early years...

Yep - the word must be getting around town. When the Hatchlings and I head down to the local cricket ground for a hit, it's fair to say we draw a pretty big crowd. Check out our most recent cricket match...


Didn't see anyone watching? Cast your eye to the grand stand and you'll see the 30-40 onlookers. We didn't advertise - how they knew we fancied a hit of cricket that day remains a mystery...

Hatchling No.1 worked the camera while his baby brother limbered up...

The game was underway when with an almighty sweep, Hatchling No.2 attempted to put one on the boundary...

When achieving the boundary was deemed unlikely, Hatchling No.2 was quick to advise that the previous delivery was in fact a 'no ball'. Considering his position on the wicket, I concede that there may have been something fishy about the proceedings. A match fix perhaps??

...and when Hatchling No.1 dismissed the 'no ball' allegation, Hatchling No.2 felt it necessary to challenge. I think I heard a request for the third umpire at some point during the dispute.

The dispute was eventually resolved when Hatchling No.1 exited the oval in favour of the adjoining playground, while Hatchling No.2 took possession of both bat and ball, and followed his brother.

Gee I hope all those spectators hadn't paid extra for their seats in the Grandstand. :P
