Game 1

My first game of the 2010/2011 season and it was not too bad. On the plus side, I was authoritative with my voice and I think that leads to confidence. I used my second ball counter well and got in to a routine with one counter in my left hand and the other in my right. I liked the old counter which has the little levers to push down because I could physically feel the count.

Errors; I got the no-balls right, though a few close ones could have gone either way. My first error was when I did not see a ball that hit a guy's foot, bounced up and then hit his helmet. I saw it as a full toss that was at the body and called it as a no-ball, which it wasn't. Or it was, but at the foot not the body.
My second error was in positioning. I'd just had the thought that my positioning was pretty good, when a ball was hit straight up and on the off side, so I sprinted to that side to see the catch. I glanced up to see that I had the trajectory wrong and I was almost under the ball, so I ran back to my original position where I was able to see the catch being dropped. Would the guy have caught it if he did not have to look at me? Who knows.

All in all, an ok first game. But I need to spot things like full tosses and understand what is happening better.
