And again...!

Björn played cricket for the village (men's) team on Sunday, and helped them to victory. He didn't get to bat, but wasn't needed - they made 312 runs in their 40 overs! He took an easy catch at point to see off their No. 3 batsman, and then had a catch taken off his own bowling to see of the last man. They won by 150 or so runs. Björn's bowling figures were a little pricy (1 for 32 in 4 overs), but some of that was to do with the field placing - the batsman kept sweeping behind him to the leg side boundary, where there was a monster gap - but he didn't disgrace himself.

The other team members are so encouraging - it's really lovely to see. They talk him up with every ball, keeping him positive. His nickname with the team is Encore (since they pronounce his name to rhyme with yawn, rather than yearn, it's play on Björn again).
