Nets - Quality

Wickman is back from nets at Tiffin School. They're at 7pm every Sunday night. They are the highlight of Wickman's week. Wickman's Monday morning work induced depression, only levened by thinking of Mick Lewis's quivering top lip in South Africa, is made worse by knowing that there are six days to wait until Wickman can net again. Tonight the standard is excellent. Last year's 1s new ball pairing, Joey and Barrell, are hairing in. It's that little bit too dark for comfort. A new guy, Kamran, turns up. He's very quick too. He pings one into Wickman's inner thigh off an inside edge. The edge is the only thing that stops it cannoning into Wickman's old boys. And off a couple of paces. And then there's Tid. Tid is Wick. And Shaun. And Dom. And Billy. Billy's back. It's challenging. Lively. The nets at Tiffin are quick at the best of times. Tonight they are lightening quick. Wickman is pleased to retire to the Kingston Tup without further injury. Here are some nice bright nets, outdoors. They are probably quick too.
