My favorite game to play is Cricket because it is very fun because it is a game that you can have many abilities to play. It is fun and is very exciting if a team needs a certain amount of runs to win or if you take a wicket. It can take a long time but it uses a lot of thinking and technical abilities. It doesn't require a certain size like you can be 6'8 like Stuart Broad or be 5'8 like Harold Larwood because they both are amazingly fast bowlers (Broad Bowls at 137.6 km an hour on average average and Larwood bowled at 163.2 km an hour on average.) so you can be any size to play it. You also don't need to be fast or slow these are some of the reasons cricket is my favorite game. I have been playing Cricket for 8 years. You play cricket by one person (The Bowler) bowling a 5.5 ounce wooden ball down the bouncy 22 meter strip known as the crease. He bowls it down to the wickets 3 wooden 1.05 meter poles. If it hits them the wickets will move and the bails (Two wooden sticks) will fall off and when the bails fall off he is out. But in front of the wickets is a batsman wearing: Cricket Gloves, Helmet and pads they are holding a bat. With the bat they try and hit the ball and get runs if one of the 10 fielders catches it on the full the batsman is out.

Kia ora Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed by your explanation of your favourite game. I like that you have not only told us what your favourite game is, you have told us why you like it and also how to play it. You have included a lot of detail. I don’t know much about how to play cricket, so this was very informative to me. It sounds like a fun game to play. Do you play in a school cricket team or a club cricket team? What is your favourite position to play?
It is also awesome to see that you have included an image on this post. Don’t forget to attribute any images you use, simply by including a link to where you borrowed the image from.
Another great post! Keep up the amazing work this week Andrew.

Hi Leisha,
ReplyDeleteI play for the West Coast cricket team and represent. Them in the New Zealand youth tournament. I also play for the Hokitika county team in the West Coast tournament. The position I like to play is early bowler or late all rounder if needed though I can play 3rd 4th or last bowler. I bowl fast right hand bowling and right handed batsman.
