Cricket
Hi again,
About a week ago my Saturday cricket team played in our first game of the season. We were up against one of the hardest teams, Southwell school. Southwell batted first and made 134 runs after the 35 overs. I bowled seven overs and took 2 wickets for 22 runs, (the best bowling figures for my team) with both my wickets in my sixth over. I was batting number six and had to pad up quickly because both of the opening batsmen got bowled out by the opening bowlers without scoring. I came in during the 5th over making a solid 5 runs before top edging a full toss down leg side straight up. We ended up only just winning. Our number 11 batsman was in with another batsman who had already made a half century. Our number 11 batsman was facing the opening bowler with four balls to come in the over. We needed 2 runs to win but if one of our batsmen got out we would have lost by one run. Luckily the opening bowler failed to get any balls on the wickets with our batsman swinging and missing at all four balls in the over. It was the first ball in the 32 over and the batsman on 63 was facing. It was a high full toss that our batsman ducked. The keeper missed it and the batsmen run. We had won the game.
I was pleased with my team’s win and how I contributed.
Bye for now, Gregory.
