My first four!

This morning I played cricket with my team the Hutt District Knights. 

We played at Petone Rec against the Hutt District Ferns.

I was the Captain today because last week I got Player of the Day for my excellent batting and bowling. 

Before the game started I tossed a big coin with the other Captain. I won and chose to bat first. I batted last in my team and when I went in there were only four overs to go. 

In the second to last over of the game the bowler came towards me and bowled the ball quite fast. I stepped forward and hit the ball with my bat. It bounced close the ground, and kept going to the boundary, right behind short backwards square leg!

It was my first four! 

Thomas was my batting partner. He knew that I had never hit a boundary before so he had his bat up and he yelled "YEEESSSSS!" I did the same! 

Everyone started clapping. Dad and Bump (my Grandad) were there in the crowd to cheer me on. 

I felt so excited that I was shaking for the rest of the innings. But I stayed in till the end. 

It was the first game ever that no one in the Knights got out.

In the end we won by 22 runs. It was a fantastic morning. 

Here is a photo of me, just after we finished the innings!
