COMMONWEALTH GAMES BOWLS REPORT
From Mike Summers
I am sitting by the bowling green under the looming shadow of the massive JLN Stadium, site of Sundays spectacular opening ceremony. As the sun sets in the Delhi sky it looms large and bright orange, and colours the sail- like flutes of the stadium as the thumping rhythm of Indian music flows from the stadium.
There is a click of bowl on bowl, as a row of six games develop in front of us, on the flat but slow running deep green bowling rink. Gerald drops one in close, but the Namibians are on song, getting bowl after bowl to nestle into the jack. George is looking a little stiff after his heroics against Samoa, and cannot get the line and length to beat out the Namibian accuracy. He tries to fire one in, but it slips wide and the game slips away 2-0 to Namibia.
Malta and New Zealand are battling out a tight match on the next rink, and in two hours the Falkland and NZ meet in a highly charged match, friends against friends. The lights will be bright and searching, the bugs will be enormous and swarming, but concentration will be high. Bring it on you All Blacks, the Ancient Kelpers are after you !!
