Hi All

Well another busy week for Watto with Cricket, On personal front and making a Speech at the National Deafness forum AGM last Friday night in the City (Sydney) I went in style all suited up and arrived in my Seymour she is still going like a dream and running smoothly. Speech at the AGM was more of relaxed approach compared to the Captioning award Night then I got up then the nerves hit in so there was a Pause then I was fine after that sticking to my task's. I was pleased with the outcome out of my speech. Saturday was an important day for the club to win after a mixed results last weekend so we cleaned sweep all grade's. I had my first win on Saturday was a nice feeling to leave the ground on a winning note and ready for Randwick at coogee on Saturday for the one dayer, which is 50overs each per side. Saturday Night deaf Rugby had a game at Sylvania they also had a good win too, it was a Nice feeling to see the club house full of deaf people with all having a laugh or a smile on their faces, I enjoy the night even more after the event gee it was a late one :). On Sunday Had to go to SCG visit NSW HQ same time the Sri Lankian team were playing NSW I had a chance to watch them train up and close even better when I bump into one of Queensland immortal cricketing great Stuart Law I was able to have a good chat with him was a nicer feeling that he recalled me too. I will head down to Melbourne for the Cup :) will be down on Saturday Night to Wednesday I am looking forward to it a break and it's a friend of my 40th birthday so I better go and pick up my suit from the dry cleaners looking fresh and sharp for the 150 years Melbourne cup. Quick Thanks to Parry for having me over his place on Saturday night see you shortly Mate. I was talking about full house before I now have a full house too I currently have 3 English backpackers staying for a week that was another crazy week with Watto again next week hope I back a winner good luck to you all too until now that's was another 60seconds with Watto

Hi all, another fine spring day outside

Here is another 60seconds with Watto, I had a wonderful weekend even those it was blowing gale in our first grade match against Campbelltown at old Kings which is our home ground beside the Parramatta League club. I had a aim for the our team on the morning is to bat all day which have not been done for a long time, I won the toss and elected to Bat. By the end of the day we had 340 on the board which is a confident score to score our first win of the season so it's in the bowler/fielders hands for next Saturday to finish off Campbelltown. Quick summaries on the scores we had Sean Abbott in the side from state duty made quick fire 59 then Sean had his debut game vs WA the next day I went and had a Look and wish him well, I am proud to have such a quality player in my side, don't forget this guy is only 18 In the same game returning from injuries was Brett Lee. Also one of ours openers got 53 Batted well and set the tone for the day, Guess you all wondering how I went Well scored my 2nd ton of this season as captain but this is my first as the other one was in trial game. Today I am feeling stiff as a log lol I finished up with 132 with 2 sixes even one of them that brought up my Ton.

Well this Week I have few interesting things to do, one is to make a speech at the AGM for national deafness forum in the city Friday night, Saturday finish 2nd day of the game vs Campbelltown, Saturday Night after the game the national rugby Union for the Deaf at Sylvania so I will go and support the deaf rugby and then on Sunday will maybe take Seymour for a spin around could even take her to a car show and show her off smile. Well I hope all is well for all of you, that was another 60secondswithnickwatkins

Hi All

Been a Hectic couple weeks, Playing cricket and same time skippering the side it's has been some mix results three game with out a win so we the boys have some work to do, I have been enjoying the leadership would be a nicer feeling to have some wins on the board its only around the corner I keep reminding myself we have the talent so its not too far away. I hope you like the back ground Picture of my new mustang maybe I should say its old :) Seymour I call her she is running beautifully as Nice as Lauren Hay does. Lauren has been my backbone for me for the last 5 years now I can't thank her enough she has been priceless supporter of my, they say if you achieve amazing things you must have good people around you so most of the credit should belong to Lauren, so once again Thank you.

I was in Bowral on Sunday home of Don Bradman for the green shield game vs Penrith to play for the lou Benaud cup The father of Richie Benaud It was a wonderful day even better the boys got up and they all played well they all played a part of this wonderful win over Penrith it's nice feeling to take some light away from 1st grade as I said earlier results will come. I really enjoy the day and Coaching the side The smile on the kids faces are priceless when results come to each one of them So i wish them all the best for coming season.
