Easts v Northern District. Running battle between A. Hook and Mark Pratt (skipper and wicket keeper). Pratty did his normal welcome to the crease routine. Hook told Pratty to “relax brother and enjoy what your about to see, as you have the best seat in the house”. Hook smashed us to all parts. Reminding Pratty he had the best seat in the house after every boundary he hit, relentless. Northern District 9 dec -346. The following week, M. Pratt 116no (unusually quiet during his innings) East 7 dec -351 with about an hour of play left. As Pratty walked from the field he took turns pointing his bat at every single Northern District player, giving them advice about how to play the game. A. Hook, got Mark’s special attention.
