Hi everyone
We arrived yesterday at 3pm local time, courtesy of a lovely flight from Virgin. Its great to finally be away, I cant speak for all the guys but this really feels like business time and the start of the season now. The boys have all worked tremendously hard all winter either abroad or in England so this is the time for it to hopefully start paying off.
The flight here was 8 hours and wasn’t too bad, so just three movies and we were here. These included Jackass 3 so there were some funny noises coming from my part of the cabin watching all the horrible stunts throughout the movie.
Im rooming with Michael Comber which is good as I have been training with him all winter. We are hoping to continue all our fitness work during this trip only with a little sun on our backs. We have set ourselves some pretty tough nutrition rules like not eating any artificial sugar for the whole trip and not drinking fizzy drinks. Hopefully we can get past day two with that one.
We had nets this morning at Carlton CC. Its a very nice ground and short drive from Bridgetown and I believe where Desmond Haynes played all his cricket. Obviously its a good batting deck so us bowlers are in for a tough two weeks. The nets were largely uneventful until Napes and Comber started going crazy at the end of the session and cleared the boundary with ease. Also today we had a top secret bowlers meeting to discuss our goals and objectives for the upcoming season.
There was a great atmosphere at our hotel for dinner, live reggae music and a West Indian buffet was the perfect end to a tough first day.
Chris
