That's almost infraction worthy.
Don't make jokes like that.

Colin, I know "Bieb-mania," broke whilst I've been off the forums but I'm pretty sure you were one of the early followers of, and I quote from a very long time ago, "this YouTube kid, from Canada who's pretty much the next Michael Jackson."
 
They were playing his songs in a club at town once :facepalm All the girls were extremely excited
 
Lol, they played 'Baby' here at a club in HK once as well. We were actually dancing to it. It was so lame.


In other news...it turns out I'm opening the batting for HKUST students-only team vs. HKU. Given that I'm usually the guy who bats at 8-10, this is quite a step up. HKU allegedly has club level cricketers too and my job is to bat out the whole 35 overs.

Challenge...accepted.
 
Baby Baby Baby ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Baby Baby Baby noooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!!!

By that last line, do we have a how I met your mother fan?

In other news, swing hard ;). Works for me about 32% of the time. Otherwise enjoy a chat back in the club house.

Well, there was no need for that was there? You'll be getting an apparently un-Bieberfied Colin in the mood.
 
Massive HIMYM fan, how did you not know that?


Swinging hard is probably gonna go against what I've been asked to do :p

Eagerly awaiting an opportunity to unleash my dilscoop tho. Hit our fastest bowler for one in the nets perfectly last week, and did it twice in practice today. Not bad for a guy who bats without a helmet. The second they bring fine leg and third man up into the ring, I'm going for it :p

Any advice on how to handle the swinging ball? I've never opened before, quite worried about nicking one or getting out LBW.
 
I rather not, don't wear a helmet when I bat as it is....

this is the man you should be worshiping till the match gets over.

but seriously....not wearing a helmet ? unless your playing with a tennis / rubber ball, its a horrible idea!

How I Met Your Mother is a huge watch in my house at Uni, got all the DVDs myself as well.

Swinging ball, much different to spin, play late and watch like a hawk. Chances are if the ball is swinging it is prone to late movement in an irregular way.

I'd rethink your plan of helmets and opening. A new ball is surprisingly more painful when breaking your nose or cheek bone.
 
Yea. Haven't got hit on the head yet, but that's because the medium pacers in our team aren't quick enough to trouble me - I can easily duck the beamers and bouncers if I can't play them. No one wears a helmet when we practice here except for one or two guys.

If the bowlers tomorrow are quicker, I'll have to wear one. Not used to it tho. Don't even wear a guard or thigh pad - it's just the regular pads and gloves.
 
Well, aren't you the tough-hard man Zorax? :p

In brighter news, I've just had my last mid-term for this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Such a relief!! Whoop Whoop!
