Good morning to all you cricket fans!first of all i would like to wish you all luck for the coming fixtures and may there be many a ton scored!!my latest topic of converstion on my blog section is the amount of ‘roadkill’ there is on the side of their roads!just on my way home here for lunch today i saw 3 birds, a deer, a racoon(and may i add this is the first racoon i have ever seen!!) and 2 animals i couldnt identify!!these animals were all seen within 30 metres of each other!!surely they know that the big american cars with brights lights are not something you should be intrigued to find out what they are!!it seems that our english birds seem to have figured this out and need to pass it on t0 thier american counterparts and the rabbits, badgers etc back home in rainy england!(i hear you had quite the downpour the other day!!)anyway that is all for this lovely friday lunch time from me aero bubbles!wishing everyone an entertaining time in the field at updown!!remember AERObic exercises can be learnt from Harry Kenton if the need ever arises!hope you all have fun!peace out!

Howdi doodi, all is well here is the sunny US of A!33 degrees today and still rising!!!lovely!i have a proposal to make!first of all i’ll explain where my idea originated from!!this weekend there is a big basketball tournament going on in the town!3 a side basketball and it is going to be a huge event!they play in the roads and the citizens come out and support!!i was wondering if our six a side tournament could be moved to a couple of the roads in Eastry!this way we could promote cricket and maybe recruit some more players!!street cricket has always been popular with the Eastry Young Ones!!many a time have the members been seen playing on the road of wheelwrights way or in the drive at kenton manor. the most popular form of the game seems to have faded out tho!!years ago when the Young Ones were even younger morning bus rides to school were a hassle!getting up early and walking the 50 metres to the end of the road to catch a bus!!well that became a thing of the past when the lumleys and friends and anyone else who wanted to join in(matty d)created street cricket!whereby we used a tennis ball and a well crafted bat (thanks must go to garth for his woodwork skills) and while waiting for the bus we proceeded to play street cricket at the bottom of swaynes way!many memories and many legends were formed!!it is for these reasons that i propose the six a side tournament is moved to the streets of eastry!not just for marketing and recruitment purposes but for the love of the game!!!!!

Well, it’s not just Goldenballs moving the the US this summer, our very own Goldenhands, Aaron Friend, has moved over there for a couple of months and will be providing us with his own views on living in America, how he’s coping with the alcohol age limit of 21 and whether baseball really is rounders in disguise!
