Cricket is a fun and entertaining sport to play in summer. We are learning to play cricket at school every Friday for the next three weeks. We are learning how to bowl and bat properly and give as many students as possible an experience. Joey, the cricket coach, is very talented, friendly and patient with us.
I play cricket for our school team every Friday. The teams play at the park and we start by playing paper, scissors, rock to see who bats or fields first. I like to field first because after an hour of fielding we get to bat to finish the game.The advantage to that is that you still have energy left for the game.
We support our team no matter if they are doing good or bad. Cricket is a very exciting sport to play in summer with your friends, you can play softball cricket and hardball cricket. Soft ball cricket is when you have a plastic squishy ball and a plastic bat and wickets – ideal for family fun days. Hardball is what you normally see on TV, Hardball cricket is when you have a wood bat, wood wickets, and pads, gloves and a wicket keeper who stops the ball behind the wickets.
