Law Makers vs. Lawyers
Date: 04 March 2010 12:00 AM
Author/s: Craig Foss MP

On Tuesday Chris Tremain and I captained the Hawke's Bay Lawmakers cricket team against the Lawyers team as a fundraiser for Parkinsons Hawke's Bay.

 
We had a team of legends such as Taine Randell and Brendon Pongi. There were plenty of jokes flying round such as : " The law makers will play with a straight bat but not sure about the lawyers", " The lawyers always going for (the) bail(s)", "the legal aid Lamborghini in the car park." 
 
One of the challenges, especially to some of my team, was the rule that punishes the big hitters as a six out of the ground actually lost you six runs. Our best batter was Mr Bye closely followed by Mr Wide. I damaged a calf muscle right at the start and so ended up doing the commentary. It was a great opportunity to wind up the players and a few of my own team without them having a right of reply. Which is just as well, as I was given heaps after the game for going off injured in the first few overs.
 
Thanks to the organisers for raising the profile of Parkinsons in the Bay and putting on such a fun event.
