Cricket!

This week we only had on game of cricket. (Well half a game). We played U/14's, but U/12's had a bye.

We batted and we made a score of 5/145. It's not the best score but it's alright.

I retired not out on 5. I did alright, but I need more confidence.

Naomi and I nearly played 3rd grade. (Men's cricket). But all their players turned up

so we weren't needed.

Through the week, Naomi bought herself some wicket keeping gloves. They are so good.

She will be wicket-keeping in U/12's and U/14's.

That's just about all I think.

Update

Here is just a quick update on what I've been doing lately.

We started school work again yesterday. I have really enjoyed the school holidays. We did quite a bit of traveling with our cricket and, we've been watching a lot of the Commonwealth Games. I love watching all the different events in the Games. Australia has a total of 143 medals, we have 64 gold, 40 silver and 36 bronze. We're doing pretty well I think.

We start cricket this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. Naomi and I are playing under 12's and under 14's. U/14's is really going to test us out, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Due to starting cricket this weekend, we have been practising heaps. I don't think our team is going to get a training session in, but we will see how we go.

It has been so wet where I live lately. It has been overcast and drizzly with a shower about once a day for about 2 weeks!!!

I don't mind it though.

The only bad thing about it raining so much is that it has been to cold to swim. Before it was raining so much, our pool was so nice to swim in. It was still rather cold, but it was just so nice and refreshing.

Well, that's about it. I need to do some school work, ***(groan)***.

I'm Back

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I have been busy with my cricket.

I'll tell you how I went. The championship went for 2 days. On the first day we won both our games. I bowled and took one wicket in the first game, there was one run out off my bowling and I batted before I got run out. In the second game I didn't get and wicket, but there were two other run-outs off my bowling.

The next we had play offs. In the first game that day, I took one wicket and one catch, that game I was also run-out again. We lost that game so we went to our last game playing for 3rd position and 4th position. I didn't take any wickets that game, but I ran someone out. I opened the batting with another girl, on the first ball I faced, (for those of you who know your cricket) I played a forward defence. The ball went straight on to the ground after it hit the bat, but it must of bounced funny because it went straight back into the air like I had played some other silly shot. Anyway they caught it and the umpire gave me out.

So we lost that game and we finished 4th out of a possible 8 positions.
