How not to play cricket

I am not entirely sure what is happening here. All I know is that I batted first and then may or may not have gotten lost in the sidelines after my turn. Mostly I remember running after the ball a lot. A LOT people. Really.

But. According the rating/shoveling guy/cricket nazi, I was not doing enough and could not get a second chance to bat because, apparently, no fielding means no batting! I wonder if I could add to my house rules… “no cooking, no eating”… I mean, fair is fair right?

Shaz, I hate to break it to you but really. You don’t look a thing like you are actually fielding at all. You are a standing in the shade of the tree looking contemplative. Cricket Nazi wins.

if u want to apply that rule at home then its fine , but what about kids, i am just worried for them,and u hardly fielded that day,and haa u also lost the race, and u should also mention that in your blog that against whom u lost…...

Tasmiya, what’s funny is that this is the only pic where I even remotely look like I am “fielding”. Others I am playing with my phone, playing with the kids, eating, talking… Don’t tell cricket Nazi tho!

Cricket Nazi…  Whatever dude, what.evah!!!

I play a LOT of cricket and I wish most of my fielding was that easy!!!

Er.. your son looks like he is pitching (baseball) rather than bowling!!

Thoughts from shaz

i believe that he’s arguing with someone - not actually bowling, since the batter is behind him - also holding a ball! like i said - this picture makes no sense!!
