Cricket Recount

In Term 4 for 4 weeks, Coach Sid came to our school to teach us kids about Cricket. He taught us how to catch the ball properly, how to hit the ball properly and how to play in a team. We learnt a lot but we still have a long way to go if we want to be professional cricket players. We went every Tuesday and we practised in the courts and on the field.

In the first lesson, we learnt how to catch the ball properly. To catch the ball properly, you put your 2 pinkies together and then spread your fingers out. Once you have done that, you put up your hands and wait until the ball is in your hands. Once it is in your hands, close your hands to make sure that you have the ball safe. You also have to follow the ball so that the ball does land in your hands.

In the 2nd lesson, we practised catching and throwing the ball. We each got a partner and stood opposite our partner. My partner was Folauhola. First we just threw the ball at each other, then we started to do different throws like only throwing with our left hand and only catching with our left hand. There were other things like that too. At the end, we went onto the field and we played a game of cricket.

We didn’t have the 3rd lesson because it was rainy and when we were supposed to have the rain day cricket, Sid had to go somewhere out of school.

On the 4th lesson, we did relays, we also played rounders and we played a game of cricket on the field. It was Coach Sid’s last time with us so he talked to us at the end for a bit before we made our way back to class.

I really enjoyed cricket and I learnt lots. I really want Coach Sid to come back and teach us some more because it was heaps of fun. My favourite part of Cricket that we] did in Cricket was when we played rounders.
