Big day at Cricket

Well.....Jake was abit nervous when we arrived at Cricket this morning. The only kid he knew never turned up so he slowly got his gear on as his team was batting first. He plays for Montmorency Junior Cricket Club...anyway things didn't get much better when he went out to bat....he had about 3 hits, no runs and was caught behind (that means Jake was out). Anyway, because it's only developmental cricket they get a second chance to bat, Jake had chatted to a couple of other kids and was feeling much more comfortable. He went out a hit the ball a couple of times, got a few runs, then he hit two fours....he was rapped. Then came the bowling....well it was like Jake was a natural, he gave away afew runs, but then got two wickets. He had a great day, all that backyard cricket with Dad is paying off. He couldn't stop grinning.
