AGM

Last night was the AGM of the Dunedin Cricket Umpires and Scorers' Association, and it was ok. I did not volunteer for any positions as I think that others know much more than I do and they have a lot more of the necessary knowledge.
The best part was that at the end one umpire handed out some free kit that he had, so I got a shirt with ICC Umpire and sponsored by Fly Emirates. Cool!

SA vs WI

South Africa seem to be doing well against the West Indies. I can't help but think how artificial the WI is; it is not one country but a number of competing nations.

Oh, and Ireland played well but not well enough against Australia on their tour of England (and Ireland obviously!).

Cricket

A small comment on cricket; England beat Bangladesh, as would be expected. I would be disappointed with anything less than a clear victory.
And I have lots of my Wisden to read.

Cricket

I used to have a blogspot on teaching, but the authorities didn't like my publishing on things to do with teaching and the university, so this is on cricket, I hope.

Two events are coming up; first the Dunedin umpires' AGM on the 23 June, and then the New Zealand Umpires' conference. The latter will cost $150, so it is quite dear. However, it could be useful to learn about umpiring elsewhere in the country.
