...working here in the Hague with BHP Billiton, a big mining company with Australian (BHP) and South African (Billiton) roots. they have a team in a local cricket competition played after work in the long Dutch summer evenings once/ week. I met one of the aussies organising in the lifts when I first started here and last night I made my debut. Our team was made up of Aussies and South Africans...and Eric Smuts Senior and Junior...Eric Sn works with me, Eric Jn is his 10 yo son, who's a young star in the making
We played at Voorburg Cricket Club, a really well maintained ground on a perfect evening...despite having 10 players, we got up for a win in a 20 overs/ team format. I added about 16 with the bat before being bowled by a slow, straight one and did pretty well at mid off in the field...
afterwards the other team put on Heinekens and a bit of tucker...brilliant!
