Cricket Update

Here's an update of cricket!

I've played 3 games from the last time I posted about cricket.

Now 2 weeks ago in 16's, we lost but would of smashed them heaps if we had all our players because we only had 7 players.

We fielded first, they got 137 runs off us.

We then batted and only got 103 runs off 20 overs.

In 3rd grad it was so sad. We batted first only got 54 runs, all out.

Then they batted and got 60 off only 8 overs, so they won.

Now two days ago in 16's

Our team fielded first, got them out for 67 runs, (It's still 20 overs each, we play 40 overs each next week).

I bowled got 2/8, the cool thing is next week I'm on a hat-trick.

Our batting went sort of bad, in the first over it was 0/2 for wickets. But then by the 11 over we were 7/70, then I went in and got 8 in about 4 balls.

But our total scored was 104 in 15 overs.

So cricket has gone pretty well. 

Cricket Starts

It's cricket season!! 

Cricket started about 3 weeks ago.

I'm playing for the same club, but playing in 16's instead of 14's.

In 16's we play on a turf pitch (which means the pitch is basically hard dirt).

Which is a bit of a change from 14's, because in 14's we play on a basically concrete pitch.

And I'm playing for 3rd grade, and this year Dad, my brother and me are playing in which is fun.

In 16's, my team played well for the first game of the season. 

It was a 20/20 (We play 20 overs fielding, than 20 overs batting).

We fielded first, got two wickets which isn't good or bad. The other team got 140 runs in 20 overs.

 When we batted they got 5 wickets, and we scored 110 runs.

I balled 2 overs, got one wicket and didn't catch any.

On the batting side, I faced 2 balls and all the 20 overs were over. I never got out.

With the second game we fielded first and got 110 runs hit off us and only got 2 wickets again.

I balled terrible got about 15 runs hit off my which most were no-balls.

Then our team came out to bat, we got 157 runs in 20 overs. Again an annoying thing happened I went in with 4 balls to go, got no runs and didn't get out.

Ok with 3rd grade, my team didn't go that well.

We fielded they got 171 runs off 40 overs, with 8 out in 20 overs.

Then the horrible thing happened we had 115 runs in 20 overs, so we had 20 overs left and only had 2 people out. And got out in the next 14 overs with only about 150 altogether.

On the second game fielded first again, in 16's and 3rd grade our team hasn't batted first.

They got 209 runs in 40 overs.

We batted we thought we were going to get smashed, but something strange happened. We got 215 in 28 overs. One of our batsman got 108 runs (Not-Out). So we won easily, with only 3 batsman out in our team.

So had lot's of fun so far.

I'll post in the next week what's been happening at our place

Soccer Update

Last Saturday, we played our second game.

We were versing the team that came 7th last year, and we beat them 5-0

Our team didn't play that well, we were keep on shooting straight at the goolkeeper.

But we did only have 9 players, and they had 12.

 

We have no games on today and next week because of School Holidays.

We're first on the ladder now, hopefully stay there, but we probably won't.

Soccer Update

We versed the best team from last year, and we won.

In the end we scored 3 goals, and they scored 0.

We are pretty good this year.

In the first half I was right-back, but every time there was a corner I had to go up a kick the corner kick. 

I was captain this week, but someone said it was for the whole year, but I'm not sure.

Our family is going to the Gold Coast tomorrow. We are going to Wet'n'Wild (a theme park). We're staying over night, and going to Seaworld the next day (which will be fun, cause I've never been there. And we're staying over again and coming back home the next day.

It will be fun.

I'll post about it on Wednesday when I get back.

I post probably on Wensday

Soccer

We have nearly started soccer again, it starts this Saturday, we have been training for 2 weeks and I reckon we are going to be pretty good this season.

There is some new players, and a new coach which is nice and good.

Last year we came 4th but we versed the older grade.

I play in U/14's and play in the same team as last year.

We have 11 or 12 players so that will be good, because last year we had about 4 subs each game. 

So I will update on what the game turns out to be like.

Cricket Finals

As all of you probably know Grace and Naomi's team won the Grand Finals.

Our played pretty good, after you didn't start to good it was like 2/9 that is very bad.

But in the end we had about 113 runs with only 3 out in 20 overs.

The other team started off with a good start but we got some of the batsman out and the run rate went down fairly far.

But any way they won by about 3 runs and a over, only one over. 

Sorry I didn't post for a long time.

Cricket Update

My team played cricket yesterday.

Our team went alright.

We got the other team out for 61 runs in 17 overs.

And our team got 4/114 in 23 overs.

Next week we bat for another 17 overs and try to get the most runs we can.

Then after our overs the other team bats for another 23 overs and we want to get them out before the overs run out so we get an outright win, and that will be cool.

When we balled I got 1 wicket for 8 runs from 2 overs.

When we batted I opened and got 14 runs.

Hope we get them out next week.

Cricket

As some of you would already know that I'm playing cricket again this year.

I'm playing in 14/U's again this year.

In the same club.

There are not very many players that played last year playing this year.

We played about 5 games, but heaps of games got washed out.

Our team is going pretty good, we've won every game until last week, which we went so bad on.
When we balled, in the first 5 overs, we had 4 out for 9 runs which is heaps good. But they made 150 runs in the end. (Which means we played very bad)
And the next week when we batted, we only made about 87 runs with all out. I batted and only faced 3 balls, and my other team mate got out. So I got 0 runs not out.

The finals are soon, we are second on the larder by 0.2 of a point.
And next week we hope that Grace and Naomi's team wins if we come first for the year, so we verse the worst team by far in the finals.

I hope we verse Grace and Naomi's team in the Grand Finals.

So sorry I didn't post for a while.

Race Day

Today we had the home schooling sports day we have every year.

It was so fun!

There was so many more people than usually there

The races included:

Age Race (100 metre sprint)

 Long Distance (the age division I was in was 1200 metre's long)

Discus

Shot put

Long jump

Javelin 

Then there were the fun ones

There was:

Team relays

3 legged race

 Sack Race

And one of my favorites Tug of War, then usually after we done the ones for the teams we have the Dads vs Kids.

The position I came in the races:

First for Age Race (sprint)

Third for the long distance race (came first in my age division boys)

Second in the shot put

Second in the Discus

Second in Javelin

Second in Long Jump

My team "Green Machine" came first in points from the two other teams, the Red Rockets and the Blue Storm.

In Senior age division that is ages from 1993-1997, I had a tie with Legolas , with the points I got from all the races, and got a medallion for Senior Boys Champion. 

L.J's First Time Playing Soccer

3 weeks ago L.J played his first game of soccer.

The second week he played he got a goal, he was very happy (although I wasn't there to see it)

Soccer

This week I started soccer again.

My team tied 2 all.

We versed the team that came first in the comp last year and won the grand-finals.

I didn't break a bone.

But I will not be able to be goal-keeper for about 3 more weeks.   

Soccer is Dangerous

Soccer is dangerous!!

You may as well play Rugby League (NRL, also called football)

It is dangerous because last week I got a black eye, and this week I broke the third finger on my right hand.

I was goal-keeper in the first half, and a person shot and I dived just missed the ball and landed on the finger that is broken.

I played the rest of the game not telling anyone and after the game we went to a friend's house to get some fire wood which we got from cut down trees.

Dad noticed that I was not using my right hand to pick up logs, when he looked at it he said that it was probably broken.

After we got the wood and went home Mum took me to Emergency at the hospital to find that my finger was broken.

My whole finger was nearly all purple and the rest of my hand is very swollen.

And now I won't be playing soccer for two weeks.  

That game in the end was a 2 all draw.

Cricket

My cricket team won the grand finals 4 weeks ago.

It was my first time I ever got into some sort of grand finals.
The team we were playing was the team that we had troubles playing them, one game we played them we won by 1 run and the next time we played them they won by 2 runs.

Our team got them all out with 62 runs to spare, I'm not a very got batsman I will admit and I'm a all right bowler but in the grand finals I went hopeless and the same with batting I got a duck (if any one doesn't know what a duck is, it's 0.    
And I can't wait until the end of this year to start playing cricket again.

Soccer Season starts

Soccer Season has just started.

I'm playing in the same team as last year but my Dad isn't coaching and some of the players went and there are two new players.
 I played on field 1 which is the biggest field.

I'm playing in the U13/U14 this year.
We won our first game 6-0

Bow

I got a bow about 3 weeks ago.

Will Treaty was getting a new 45-60 pound bow so I brought this bow off him for $45. 

This bow is a 25 pound bow.

Motor Bikes

We have three motor bikes.

We ride them around our paddock, our track is shaped like an oval.

(This is the 110cc motor bike)
Years ago we made jumps it was fun, but the motor bikes going over the wood wrecked them. We have a 110cc, 70cc and a 50cc motor bikes, I only ride the 70cc motor bike, because the 110cc motor bike's back brakes are too powerful and when you brake you always slide and I some times crash doing that.

(This photo is of the 70cc motor bike)

Cricket

I'm playing cricket this year, it is fun.

I've played cricket before but last year I didn't play.

I play in the under 14's.

(I'm the one on the right of the photo.)

My age group plays each Friday night, it starts at 4pm and going to about 7pm.
Each game is played in 2 weeks.
The first week one of the teams bats and the other team fields. The next week the other team bats, each week there are 40 overs played.
I like batting but I am not very good at it, except in backyard cricket. I am fairly good at bowling.

soccer

This is me playing soccer,

I like being the goalkeeper.
I also like playing back,
I like being a forward too
but I don't get put in this position very much.
My team is called the Knights.
My team is in the finals.
My dad is the coach, he is a good coach.
