Game set and match - WC 227 (13th jan)
by Michael Author IconMail Icon
Game set and match

I opened my banking app and smiled inwardly when I saw the balance had increased by thirty thousand dollars. Very nice, I thought.
Jordan sidled up to me as we sat in the locker room. “Well that was one for the books!” he said.
“It started off a bit one sided, well very one sided ,” he continued. “Then Bateman folded. Nobody knows what happened.”
I nodded and closed my app. “It was a surprise I must agree.”
He turned to me and shook his head. “One minute Bateman’s two sets up and hitting the ball so hard and fast that Peters didn’t have a chance and then the next minute he can’t seem to see the ball.”
I shook my head from side to side in sympathy with Jordan’s upset.
“Are you working this evening?” he asked.
“No, actually I might call it quits for this week. Somethings come up and I have to fly home”
“Nothing serious I hope,” he added.
I smiled. “Nothing serious.”
“Did you put all the water bottles out for this evenings match as well?”
I told him I had as well as replacing the towel buckets with fresh towels and making sure the umpires chair was in order.
Then a horrible thought occurred. Had I removed the water bottles with the tiny red spot on the caps?
