We started strongly and I was waiting to bat at number 5. We were on 40 for 3 when I came in to haunted by the memory of my game strangling effort of last time. I was determined to make a better fist of it. I duly played and missed the first 4 balls I faced. Fortunately they brought on their 'spinner' in the next over and his slow looping balls were impossible for even me to miss and I slapped him around the pitch for 12 in the over. Eventually I ended up on 19 (you have to retire on 20). I was determined to go out on a high and I duly went out..caught in the deep going for a 6 that I was never going to make. We struggled towards the end and with the final ball we needed 3. The bowler bowling was the 'spinner'...our man smacked it for 4.
