and..... we're back

ok guys. It's back. Impressed by the demand and all that.

I've frankly been thinking of various ways to handle this huge backlog I've created, but finally decided that the chronology of the whole thing is working very well, so I'm not going to mess with it. Will bring all up to speed within the next couple of days.

To set the ball rolling, let me post about the key new rules that we've implemented at #3 net sessions. To replicate match pressures, bowlers now have to run one round around the ground if they bowl more than three wides in one set (i.e. at one batsman). The batsmen aren't spared either. If anyone gets out in the first four minutes of his session he's got to go. And even in the remainder of the session, he's only allowed two dismissals. As you may well imagine, concentration levels have been soaring with even the skipper having one of his sessions cut short.

Good stuff. Match reports follow shortly. (promise).
