Day 8















yesterdays tour!

Hi Everyone,We love the comments!! Please do make the effort everyone!!

Today we were up earlyto play our last proper match and this time we won the toss and batted! A very hot day followed with the boys performing incredibly well. Guy Shipman, Kiran Choudhuri, Thomas Harley, Lochlan Murray and Tim Jacobs all ensured we achieved our highest score to date. It was great to see the boys batting with real belief in themselves, building an innings and getting the results.






James K did not play and whilst Benedict Relf performed well again with the ball only Tim Jacobs bowled well with him. Our opposition passed our score of 145 losing 3 wickets. temperatures were upto 45 degrees with not much wind! I gather a fraction hotter than London!





We were very proud of the boys got stuck in today and they have improved again today. We have to remember that the side we played today is the equivelant playing the best 11 from say Birmingham who have practiced 5 months before playing us!!
After a compulsory rest we took the boys to shop before dinner folwed by table Cricket and an Indian Board game before bed.


Another fab day


Hutch and the Team.

Hello 'Team India', another stirling effort by the boys who quite frankly all deserve a medal for playing in such unbearable heat against a rather more experienced team. Perhaps you should invite them to London for a rematch in the freezing cold, maybe then we will have the advantage!

Please take loads of pix tomorrow of the elephants (and the boys riding them!)

Best wishes
