I Play Cricket

Yesterday I went with a group of year 9 girls from my school to our partner school for boys. We were allowed to use all their PE facilities and do sports that are normally for boys only. Most of the girls did football or basketball, but I learned to play cricket.

Cricket is a really good sport for small people like me 馃檪 If you are little, there is less of you to get hit by the ball when you are trying to bat. I practised for half an hour with the boys and they said I did very well for my first attempt 馃檪

Cricket is also good because you get to spend lots of time outdoors in the sun and you can go to sleep when it is not your turn to bat 馃槍

"can go to sleep when it is not your turn to bat". Sounds perfect. Must have been invented by us old people. lol
TammieBear22-25, F
@GentleJoe But you have to be very awake when it is your turn as the ball is very hard 馃惢
GentleJoe61-69, M
@TammieBear Yes, you need to be quite awake and alert when you have something hard coming at you!

Glad you enjoyed the Cricket. You had a good day for it. :-)
SW-User
Great, are you good at that too?

Why is your profile blocked by the way?
TammieBear22-25, F
@SW-User Not very, but I still enjoy it. I am under 18, so you probably can't view my profile.

Glad you enjoy it. The more you do it the better you will get.

for being a batsmen, being short doesn't mean a disadvantage, but good to be tall to be a quick....

@TammieBear ....height gives the ball me lift. If you bowl try spin..... :)
TammieBear22-25, F
@Shutterbug They said it would be easier for me to bat than bowl as I only have small hands.
Shutterbug56-60, M
@TammieBear ok :)

Sounds like an exciting afternoon 馃檪 glad you enjoyed the game. I鈥檝e only ever played rounders which is similar... I think
TammieBear22-25, F
@KatieJ It is sort of similar, except the ball in cricket is a lot harder 馃槙
KatieJ22-25, F
@TammieBear hope you weren鈥檛 hit! I like fielding best personally because I can sneak off and sit on the grass馃榾
TammieBear22-25, F
@KatieJ The best part of the game is being able to sit out in the sun during school time 馃檪 I wasn't hit because I am small and can move out of the way of the ball more easily than big people 馃檪

Well done you for trying something new.
GentleJoe61-69, M
@TammieBear That should prove to be quite amusing for you and your girls!馃槃
TammieBear22-25, F
@liondog Yes 馃檪
TammieBear22-25, F
@GentleJoe It will be a boys only class so they don't feel self-conscious.

What really go to sleep how could you sleep with all that noise?
TammieBear22-25, F
@updown2020 They are usually peaceful noises on the cricket field, unless people are arguing 馃檮

That sounds lovely! Glad you enjoyed Cricket.
samanthabelle22-25, F
Can you play grasshopper?
updown202061-69, M
@samanthabelle Okay what is grasshopper?
TammieBear22-25, F
@samanthabelle No, but I like to lie on my back and catch them in my hands 馃檪
