Yesterday half of Te Ngahere went to go and play cricket with a guy called Neil while the other half of Te Ngahere was inside doing Te Reo, we swapped over after about 35 minutes. We did a drill first and then we played Speed Cricket. We played Speed Cricket by splitting the group in half so that one half are the batters which hit the ball with their bat. The other half are the fielders which are trying to catch the ball when the batters hit it. You start with three bats and as you go along there's going to be one taken out by not hitting the ball when you’re the batter. When the fielders catch the ball you have to put a bat down, once the three bats are down you swap over. I think the best part was when we actually played speed cricket. The easy part was standing in line and the hard part was trying to hit the ball with the bat when it came flying at you. Neil taught us how to hold a bat, how to stand when you hit the ball and what to do. You hold the bat by putting both your hands on the handle while your thumb and index finger on both hands make a v. You stand on your side while your front foot is pointing to where you want it to go.
Have you ever played cricket before?
Hi Yazmin my name is Molly and I go to Paihia School. My favourite thing about your blog was that you described every step that you had to do. We even played cricket too.
ReplyDeleteHi Yazmin my name is Kova and I go to Paihia School. I really liked the part when you described how to hold the bat and how to stand and that is called a stance. I've got a question was it hard for you?
