Hey guys,
Sorry I didn't post anything last week cause I have been busy with exams, cricket and thinking of what to post. I chose to post today cause I thought it would be good practice for my writing cause I have English exam tomorrow and also my exams are starting again and won't be able to post over the next week.
Ya so anyways a cricket tournament started last week. It's called Howzat and the games are played every Sunday. I was chosen to be the captain of the team Singapore Cricket Club. Pretty cool rite!!
We had our first game on 11th September, Sunday. I was captaining after a pretty long time, almost 5 years, and was pretty nervous. We played against Australian International School (they called themselves AISS Roos). I won't be writing about the match in much detail like my first post cause it might get boring so I will sum up the match. I won the toss and choose to bat cause it was a wet pitch. Our opener got out pretty fast and so did our number 3 and 4. I went in at 5 and got out on 2 :( Our situation was looking bleak as we were 80 something for 5 off 18 overs. We were also playing with only 10 guys. But our tailenders did a fantastic job of batting all 30 overs and we put on a respectable total of 116 runs.
It was a defendable total and our bowlers did well. I opened the bowling and my other partner ended up with figures of 5 overs, 4 runs and 1 wicket!!! I ended up with 5 overs, 15 runs and 2 wickets. I even got a run-out. We won the match, but just. The match boiled down to the last over and they needed 10 runs off 6 balls. They only got 5 and my first match as captain ended well with a victory.
It felt nice to be the captain of a winning side ;) I hoped to continue my streak but it ended in the second match itself. More of that in the next post.
Signing Off,
