Had a friendly 20/20 on Tuesday, playing for my Saturday team against my Sunday team. After 6 overs they were 65-1, I came on and bowled my 3 overs conceding only 5 runs(Test match figures!) they finished on about 120.
We were struggling to hunt it down and I came to the crease needing 17 off the final over, after a boundary or two, a dropped catch after I skyed a full toss and a couple of no-balls and wides it was 1 needed from 1 and I was at the non-strikers end. Never been so nervous in my life, and I didn't even need to hit the damn thing! Sprinted off and was well over half way down the pitch by the time he hit the ball, he smashed it for 4 and we won.
It was just a friendly but that made me remember why I love playing 20/20's so much more than 40-45 overs games. And hopefully that will show my Sunday team what they have been missing when they haven't been picking me...
