The cricket afternoon

 I am fielding

On Friday afternoon I went to Te Whiti Park to play in the Hutt Central School girls cricket team against Dyer Street.

I got a uniform to wear.  A black and grey t-shirt and a Hutt Central School jacket.  I had to wear my cricket track pants and sneakers.  I took my white cricket sun hat, but I didn't need it because it was a bit chilly and the sky was grey with lots of clouds.  It started to spit right at the end but there was just one more ball to go.

I took my school bag, and some snacks.  I had a little chocolate bar for energy, some grapes, two biscuits and a juice box.


I took my cricket bat.  It is size 2 and a Kookaburra.
I went to the match in Miss Mahoney's car with Chandra, Molly and Jordan.  They are in year 5.
I was the only middle schooler, and they cheered me on.  They yelled,
"You can do it Isabelle!"


I enjoyed bowling.  I usually get the ball in a straight line.
At the end of each over the bowler changed ends so that both of the batters got a turn.

Here I am bowling 

When I was batting I couldn't hit the ball because the other team kept getting wides!  But I did get to hit it one time!

Miss Mahoney was the umpire.
Ruth has the ball.

I was the last batter with Chandra.  When the game finished we had 3 cheers for Dyer Street and shook hands.  Then we found out if we won or not but we didn't win.  We lost by only 3 runs!  It was extremely close!

It didn't matter because we had fun.  I love playing cricket.
