v United Hospitals CC,

What do you do when you chide your batting partner for ambling a single that could have been two and he barks at you ‘get back in your cage mate, I know you don’t score very many’. 

Another little drama was about to play itself out. With a hoppy prance, the same batsman, strolled every run I hit. Ok he can’t run.  Deal with it and I did. But when he had the strike on balls 4 and 5  he would morph into the road runner.

I am not the first man to bat with a strike hog but god, it rankled. Batsmen are brothers in arms. I had this noble sentiment in mind the next time he called a quick single on balls four and five; defiantly, tit for tat, I shouted ‘No’.  I was stumped a few balls later.
