My favourite Sport

My favourite Sport, but first things first we had to write a blog post on our favourite something and I have chosen Cricket, my favourite sport.

Cricket is a sport that requires two teams to play a match and one team will bat and the other field and bowl. When batting you have too try and score the most runs in the certain amount of overs depending if it is a Twenty20, Test Match or ODI. Also you need to run between the wickets quickly and score boundaries either hitting a six or four. When bowling you need to try and get the batsman out by either bowling them when the ball hits the stumps or make them get a edge on the bat, and hope the wicket-keeper will catch the ball, to get the batsman out. Also try and lure the batsman to put the ball in the air so then the fieldsman can catch it. When fielding you have to be awake and aware where the ball is going. To be a good fieldsman or even a normal one you need to know how to catch, throw long distances and be accurate, fast around the field and good judgement. There also has to be two umpires one at the bowlers end wickets and one at square-leg. Square-leg is a position in line on the left (if you have a right-handed batsman) otherwise the other way around if there is a left-handed batsman.

I like this sport because I have been playing it since I six years old and it is a very fun sport 'cause you can have a great time with friends. Also because you have team mates that help you and you help them and we all stick together. Also we have a great day at the end of the game and practice.
