He starts slowly
Leaving anything outside off-stump
Cautious
Forty minutes before his first boundary
A sweet cover drive precisely placed
Confident
Back in his shell either side of lunch
Then a flurry of fours
Before edging to second slip
A sharp chance put down
Fortunate
The next ball lands in the members area
Spilled beer and hilarity
Only the rain can stop him now
He will resume on 89
Determined to build a big innings.
Brilliant response to the challenge. Beginnings indeed.
Title fixed :-)
Hopeful! Reminds me of going to cricket when I was a kid
I followed the word flow... Cautious Confident Fortunate and wondered if the next word was going to be Unlucky or perhaps Inspired..
Hope the best team won!
If anyone knows how to remove the extra T from the title please do!
