Batter Up

Tomorrow is the opening day of the 2007 cricket season here in Israel for our side.

Looking forward to it. Due to a rejigging of the format, only two divisions and eight games instead of three and 10 respectively.

Some new faces in the team to complement the old ones. Our third year together now.

We take on the Kiryat Gat side who are traditionally fierce rivals. We are yet to beat them and there would be nothing sweeter than starting the year by thumping them on their own dung hill.
