The gang at Parkinson's cricket were in fine fettle, and had me running all over the hall retrieving balls. They started off with some target practice, throwing balls to hit an array of cones at the other end of the hall. Following that, they focussed on batting accuracy; aiming to get the ball between two cones.

We finished off with a game. Everyone who wanted to had a go at batting and bowling, with the rest of us fielding. I even managed to catch a couple of balls this week (saves bending down for them).
