Mind Blowing Facts About Cricket

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. I learnt about batting and catching. When you are batting you have to point your foot where you want the ball to go. If you miss the ball and it hits the three wickets that is one bat down. When you are feilding you have to do two things. These two things are using teamwork to get the ball to the bowler and if we catch the ball then we stop the game and swap teams. We played non stop cricket.

Holidays
