A close one

We had another cricket games this weekend and it was the last one of the year.(for me that is)

We won the toss and chose to field.

On my last over I bowled my balls of the year and only 2 runs came off the the over(I think)

Coming in at no.3 with Haydon told me 'you have got to get those runs'

I batted quite well too scoring 19 runs in 4 overs (the highest score in the team)

Hitting 2 fours helped a lot as Haydon on the other hand struggled to get runs(or even on strike as we kept running twice)

In the end a patnership of 24 runs as the last 2 batsman came out.

It was down to the last ball. Kumeu still had a chance to win. All they needed was a wicket to win and the batsman(not knowing they were winning) had to avoid getting out.

The ball was fast and went straight past the keeper and the batsman ran.

They could only run one overthrow or in this case byes but they didn't know that so they ran again but the umpire tryed to send them back which left them stranded in the middle of the pitch and the keeper threw it in and mist but a fielder got it and threw it in and ran the batsman out.

We had lost by 2 runs.


In the first innings I hit the stumps and the batsman, well I thought out of his crease but I didn't know and the umpires didn't see it so it could have been out.

So they gave him not out.

If only they were watching sigh
