What a great Tournament - the weather certainly played its part! Congratulations to all who took part. Special congratulations to captain who scored a century and took a hat trick.

Congratulations also to each student participant who received a 'Spirit of Cricket' award for their effort during the week.

Good luck to all who compete in the tournament in Burewala - It is sure to be another great tournament.

Finally, we hope all students enjoyed and took something from the tournament that will see them continue to develop as cricketers and hopefully they will continue to play this glorious game for many years in the future.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a roughly circular field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. Each team takes it in turn to bat, in which they attempt to accumulate as many runs as possible, while the other team fields, attempting to prevent the batting team scoring runs. Teams may bat once or twice each depending upon the format of the game. Each turn is known as an innings. The game progresses as one member of the fielding team known as the bowler delivers the ball to the batsman down the length of the pitch. The batsman then attempts to strike the ball with his bat in order so that the ball either reaches the boundary or enables him to run to the other end of the pitch and thus accumulate runs. The batsman may continue batting until he is dismissed. Once ten batsmen from the batting side have been dismissed, the team is said to be all out and the two teams change roles.
