My First Game for Grafton United Cricket Club (2012/2013 season)

On Saturday, I had my first cricket game. We played 16 overs. Mum and Raneel came with me. My team was Taylor and it was named after Ross Taylor. The other team we were playing was Williamson and it was named after Kane Williamson. Williamson won the toss and they elected to bat.

I bowled a total of 2 overs and I batted for 3 overs.

Bowling stats:
Over 1: Wicket, dot ball, Wicket, wide (+1), dot ball, Wicket, Wicket
Over 2: 4 runs, 1 run, dot ball, Wicket, 1 run, dot ball.
My overall bowling figure was Overs: 2 Maidens: 0 Runs: 8 Wickets: 5.

Batting stats (I came in at No.7):
Over 1: Wide, 4 runs, 6 runs, dot ball, dot ball, wide.
Over 2: dot ball, wide, dot ball, 1 run, dot ball.
Over 3: 6 runs, 6 runs, 1 run, Wicket (run out).
My overall batting figure was 25 off 15 balls. My strike rate was 166.66.

Team Taylor got 98 runs in 16 overs. Team Williamson got 57 runs. So Team Taylor won the game by 41 runs! And I was the man of the match! I was so excited!

RANEEL'S POST:

I am playing for Grafton Cricket Club too. My best bowling innings is 4/12 and my best batting innings is 14. I don't play games on Saturdays but i do practises (drills and games) on Thursdays only.

Here are a couple of photos that I took yesterday on Mum's camera:
