St Faiths vs Kings Ely

On the bus to Ely, our team decided that we would try batting first if we won the toss because bowling first had brought us mediocre results of 1 win and a loss. The toss was in favour of Kings Ely, but they wanted to bowl first, so everyone was happy.

We batted well, and their bowlers were not the best, so we scored a lot of runs. The thing is, we didn't actually hit a lot of the bowls. If you bowl a wide or no bowl you concede 2 runs. A lot of their bowls were pea rollers, so we couldn't hit them, or wide, so we couldn't hit them. Still our batters scored many runs and two of them, Sam and Jacob, were asked to retire because they had both scored so many runs. Our final score ended up at 136.

Our bowling was good, although we did concede more no bowls and wides than we wanted to. In general, it was uneventful, but there was one batman who kept on switching hands, and his coach kept on telling him just to bat right handed. There was one play when he batted in a left handed stance, then when the bowler bowled the ball he switched and took a swing at the ball. Their final score was 63. We won, but we can still improve our game.
