An interesting day with at least five Otago Volts playing, presumably to gain practice before their season starts.
I'd hoped to see Aaron Redmond bat, since he is an international, but he gave a simple catch to the wicketkeeper on his fourth ball and so starts his season with a duck. I still need to work on my technique, and had difficult decisions to make in relation to run-outs.
It was suggested I need to display more confidence in order to sell the truth of my decision, rather than be nervous when giving someone out. It is just like teaching; the confidence is crucial!
Today I am umpiring in Oamaru, and it will be a two-day game with a stay in a motel.
Still, another of the Dunedin games, and more of my season objectives to come.
