Big Bash Cricket – Mallacoota

On Tuesday the 17th of March 9 of the bravest cricketers you will ever find attempted to win it all in Bairnsdale. An so close they can. Except for winning a game, they won it all. Some highlights:

Tyson – Captain courageous. Best cover drive since Mark Waugh. “I think that everyone went great. The player of the day I think was Ryley, taking 3 wickets in one over. Good job everyone!!!
Kelby – Ripping eye, smashed some fantastic shots (double points). “This one time, I hit the ball”
Mikey – A mini Glenn McGrath, spot on every ball. “I managed to bowl someone out!”
Rene – The Aaron Finch of the team. Hit a huge double pointer six (12 runs). “It was a fun day and it was good, everyone went well”.
Harry – The retirer! Dominated with the bat and ball. 25no and a removed hatrick. “I played an amazing shot for 12. Everyone was going nuts. But Ryley was player of the day”.
Archie – Speed demon, would give Mitch Johnson a run for his money. “Razzle Dazzle (Ryley) got an amazing 3 wickets (almost hatrick). Harry almost got a hatrick but couldnt make it. Everyone was positive and played amazing”.
Joseph – Hands like mittens. Took the catch of the day with a spekkie like Buddy. “It was good, nearly won towards the end, we might have won if harry got the hatrick”.
Bryce p – Dominated with the bat. Top scored twice. Was our Dave Warner. “I scored 12 touch downs and caught two hail marys”. He might need some work on his cricket terminology.
Ryley L – Shane Warne eat your heart out. 3 wickets in one over, on a hatrick, fantastic celebrations. “I almost scored a hatrick! and went out!!!”.

It was a fantastic day. They boys had heaps of fun while developing their team work, resilience, and effort. We are all very proud of them.
