My Reflections , My insights

  When it matters most I distinctly remember that beautiful, sunny Sunday morning; the cool breeze was blowing across the lush green ground of Wiltshire county cricket club in the UK when I was in   UK Swindon and was participating in corporate cricket league    Finals.     Although I may not look like one, I was a decent medium-paced bowler when I was there.
