Gah! (A Wellingtonian laments)
What is this? Make fun of Wellington season?
Awesome evening at the Basin on Friday. Huge crowd – frickin’ huge. Bouncy castles for the kids. Decent weather. A few sixes hit onto the bank. Lou Vincent unveiling his Mongoose and leading Auckland to a competitive score. Then Franklin bringing the game back after early wickets.
The kids were melting down a bit by the end though, so we snuck out with a couple of overs remaining, confident in a Wellington win. About a run a ball required.
Little did we know what was transpiring while we were driving home. Franklin gone two balls after we left and no firepower left in the lineup. Those early wickets really cost us.
Another victory handed over to the opposition. Wellington just can’t catch no breaks this season.
