Our next game was on the 28 October 2008 Wednesday. Of course I batted 9th again, but this time I bowled 2nd. We won the toss this time and chose to field. The 1st bowler went and got 1 wicket already with 0 runs. A wicket maiden over they call it. And with 0 runs in one over, it’s called a maiden over. I then went in and got a cracking 4 runs off me. L Then I bowled the 4th over and got 1 wicket with 2 runs. That was it for me. Then I went to go and field. I caught one and stopped 2 fours. On the last over they scored 78-7. One of my friends did the last over for the 1st innings, called James Du Preeze (nicknamed Duppie). His 1st 3 balls were terrible! One went over the keepers head and two for four. He was angry, next ball. HOWZAT! LBW! A great ball! Next ball, in the air, is it going to be caught? “YOUR OUT!” said the umpire. He was on a hatrick ball! Next ball… “ON THE WICKET, MIDDLE STUMP, JAMES DU PREEZE HAS GOT HIS HATRICK!” says the other team.
We lifted him up and carried him to our bags. It was the best day of his life. If would have been for me two!
