Back to practice after a year's hiatus! Looks like I'll be in the team this year - the first match is on January 10. Started practice on Saturday, very tentatively, in the nets. The space for the keeper is severely shortened in the new nets (only 8 paces behind the stumps), which are otherwise very good. I'm keeping with the helmet on, even while standing back - can't afford yet another broken nose. On Saturday, I was finding it difficult to concentrate; guess I was low on confidence as well... Yesterday, got the first catch of this season - tickle from Raviraj off Rajesh Nayak. Nothing like a catch to boost the confidence, even if it is just a simple one like that. Got a few good collections too, but the nets is not a good place for the keeper. Can't wait to keep out there in the centre..!
