WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS?
• Because there are multiple roles in the sport e.g.
fielding, batting and bowling. What inspired me to play
it was watching it on T.V whenever it was on. Also I like
using teamwork to win things.
WHERE DOES YOUR SPORT TAKE PLACE
Laurimar Cricket ovals
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
For cricket, there is a lot of equipment needed.
• Bat
• Gloves
• Knee pads
• Box/cup
• Helmet
• Cricket bag
VARIATIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT
These are just some types of Bats
throughout the market.
SKILLS REQUIRED
In cricket you have to be fast, have a lot of strength and
just plain skill. In cricket the skill that you must have is
being fast. E.g. when batting and when fielding. The skill
that I need most improvement is batting. When I bat, I
don’t seem to hit the ball most of the time so I need to
work on my coordination. But I think my area of strength is
fielding because I'm good at catching and throwing.
COST OF SPORT
To register for cricket, it usually cost around $120 but with the cost
of all the equipment it will bring it up to around $300-$400
HOW OFTEN I TAKE PART IN CRICKET
I played every weekend but not anymore because it isn't in season
anymore. Also training would be on Wednesday nights. I would like
to register again for next season.
WHAT GOT ME INTERESTED
What got me interested was playing cricket when I
was young, playing with my brother. What kept me
interested was playing for clubs and at school
People should play cricket because it has many
variety of roles but a reason why they shouldn’t is
because it is a slow game. There isn't much
running around when fielding.
