The Injured Player: Rained Out
http://injuredplayer.blogspot.com/2011/07/rained-out.html
One wounded soccer player's search for a new sport. About The Injured Player. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Technically this should be my last post about cricket. It's now a new month, which means I should be giving the game a score. However, because I started late and last week's game got rained out. I'm giving the game one more week.

And so, ...

Life has happened, as it always does, and as a result I have had to take what I hope will be a temporary break from my challenge. When things start to settle down in my life this autumn, I hope to continue trying new sports. I have officially retired from soccer, so my quest to find a replacement sport is even more important now! Until the next sport,.
