Today's the Day for Cricket!

Today we played cricket with Sid from Auckland Cricket. He talked for awhile and then asked us if that was enough talking. Some of us didn't know how to play cricket, but he taught us.

The first group needed to hit three balls with the bat and then run between the wickets. The other team was fielding. They had to collect the balls and return them to the tees. When the fielding team had got all three balls back, the running team had to stop. Sid told us we had to count the runs because we were the ones at school.

We had a very good time. We learnt how to hold the bat correctly and the correct names for parts of the bat. We'd love to do it again!
