Day 4, 4th May 2013 – Training Session 2

An early start this morning for training session 2, with everyone ready to start at 7.00am.  A bigger crowd of kids than yesterday and the focus for the day was decision making, looking at making wise decisions both on the football pitch and also away from the pitch.  The training session went well and the equipment we brought across has proven to be very popular.  A slight diversion today was playing a spot of cricket, with each of the guys going in to bat for a local team in a friendly match.  The score card read as follows:  Rob out for a duck, Dan 0 not out and Paul 5 runs off 4 balls before seeing his wicket fall.  Chennai Super King scouts were making enquiries apparently…..  On another note, the weather forecast for the next few days has predicted ‘severe heat’, which is an interesting way of putting things given the temperature today.  To quote Alan Partridge, ‘it’s hotter than the sun’ here already so who knows???  Dan caused quite a stir last night at the CSF meeting just by turning up.  The average height in India is around 5’7-ish (so we have been told) and at 6’2 Dan has been turning a few heads, which has led to the inevitable nickname of ‘Crouchy’, which he was delighted to hear.  We are having a rest now for a bit before another big day tomorrow, with Rob due to speak at 2 different churches.  Busy days but everyone is keeping well and having a fun time.  Keep tuned for more India news tomorrow….
