Sadly Jesus won't be playing, his dislocated shoulder didn't heal well so he will be having surgery on it shortly.

I still hope to make an appearance at some point, as long as it doesn't clash twith me watching rugby....what time is your first game? I hope you are better at this than cricket.

not sure what time my game, 8:00 or 8:30 I would imagine.

Let's be honest, it wouldn't be hard to be better than my cricket... :(

But my team won the jakarta cricket assoc. this year.

Good stuff, really enjoyed my day there yesterday, Rules is a good game to see played at this level and the standard was a lot higher than I expected.

Singapore beat Hong Kong in the final.

SW's Bintangs were losing Semi Finalists.

SW played like a man possessed.

I'll post some pics later.

Some pics.

Didn't take a huge number and deleted over 50% straight away as I do with most sport.

I also took the wrong lens so I only had 200mm instead of 400mm......

This is the best shot I took....

This was a good shot, taken as the young Indonesian lad playing with KW stuck in a great goal. I'll email you the very high resolution version, maybe you could get it printed for him 18x12, costs me 60B to do prints that size in Bangkok.

One of the pitfalls of shooting sport is focus. This could have been a great shot, but unfortunately the main target is slightly out of focus.
