Catch

Just driven home through a pretty impressive storm. Quite hard to see through the rain at times, and judging by the rumbling of thunder it is obviously following me home.

Been at the cricket at Hove this evening - Sussex v Kent T20. Amusingly we spent the first few overs of the match glued to the TV watching the tennis. Someone must have heard about how Heather Watson was getting on, and so got the telly turned on, and when we started watching she was 3-0 up in the 3rd against Serena, but we must have been a bad luck charm for her, because she proceeded to lose 7-5. Mind you, she did still play some pretty impressive tennis, and gave the no.1 seed a real scare. I think some of the cricketers might have wondered what was going on, as the cheering and clapping coming from our hospitality area wouldn't have corresponded at all to what was going on out on the field!

As for the cricket match, Sussex posted a pretty low total of 136 which Kent surpassed with over 5 overs to spare. The highlight of the match was our legendary Indian colleague taking a catch from a Kent six hit into our hospitality area!
