Hmm, not too good an outing again, folks.
Let's run through what happened each game:
Game 1: Big Heartbreak. We lost 686 to 688! Just 2 pins. Granted,
they had a 20 pn handicap advantage (97-77), but we really should
have put this in the bag.
Game 2: No worries here. Managed to convincingly beat them 741 to
695.
Game 3: Well, no arguments here. We got whacked ourselves 672 to
726. It was really close up till about frame 7, when the wheels
just fell off our cart.
Overall series: We got punished. We lost by a measly 10 pins in the
overall frame of things! 2099 to 2109! Sure, we could blame their
60 handicap advantage (20 x 3), but hey, we don't bowl good, we no
get results. 3 precious points lost by a tiny margin. Damn.
Let's look at the individuals:
Debutant Liang Cheng posted a 145 average, and managed to get 1
point. His handicap is 26. I think we were all shocked by how well
his opponent played, and she still managed to maintain a 28
handicap! - 1 point.
Ian continued his recent hot streak into games 1 and 2 (192 and
182) but hunger pangs got the better of him in game 3. Finished
with a 164 average, and 3 good points. Handicap is now 21, 158
average overall. - 3 points.
Jae had a bad day today, but I'm sure you'll pick up, buddy. Got to
get ready for Thursday and Sunday, dude! Your handicap is now 23,
154 average overall. - 0 points.
I didn't do too badly, I guess. We both had our share of bad luck
(I had 2 7-10 splits on seemingly good pocket hits, but he suay
suay chopped many a spare). Stuttered at first, but managed to get
a 181 average on the night, thanks to a good last game. My handicap
now stands at 11, 179 average overall. - 4 points.
Recap:
---------
We got 8 of 16 points from the individual games, 1 out of 5 points
for the series, and 1 point from the round robin. That gives us 10
of a possible 28. Not too good. I think we may have been overtaken
and thrown to 6th place, but I'm still not sure.
Next week we face the might of Tiger Bowling Team, home to about
6-7 bowlers better than 190, 200 even. They've got a good trio of
200 avg lefties, not to mention a particular righty called Jack
Wong. A very impressive lineup. Who's up for the challenge?
