One Of Those Days

As it's been winter over here in England I haven't been playing any cricket in the last couple of months, apart from maybe picking up an odd tennis ball in the garden and bowling it. Now today I got my bat, threw a ball against my garden wall and did some batting practice. But when I went out to bat everything seemed to miss the bat. I would say I threw around 50-60 balls against my wall today and I probably hit around 15-20 of them, and only three of them I got a decent hit on, the rest were defensive shots. The first one I hit along the ground and in a proper match would've gone for 4, the second one went flying over my neighbour's fence two doors down the road and the last one I skied onto the conservatory roof and got my bat confiscated by my mother.

Maybe he meant push, I don't know

I sort of sorted it out the next day, I defended the first few shots before nurdling the ball into areas of my garden, and then started attacking the ball and hitting some of them quite hard. I then did what you said spin wizard and swung my bat at the first ball. It made a brilliant clunking sound of leather against willow, I just had enough time to look up and seeing my ball sailing over next door's garage roof. I estimated that was a fairly ood hit however, I reckon from where I was stood to where the ball landed would've been approximately 50 metres.
