Day 714;
So today I have just been witness to a fantastic game of cricket, it was between the country of my birth, England, and a country that reached the final of the world cricket championships they may have lost the world cricket world cup to Australia but they did way better than the English.
Well if you didn't know the cricket that they were playing today was the fifth and concluding part of the current one day international In the morning New-Zealand had got 399 for 9 in 50 overs, Before the rain England only had 26 overs to get 192 but the English also lost 7 wickets in the process, they even lost their captain for a duck (0 runs). And it wasn't until Billings and Bairstow that we thought that England may even stand a chance, but then Billings went and got outed, then it was his replacement that got dismissed next leaving Bairstow with Rashid as England was closing in on the target Rahid hit a 4 to put England within 3 of the target then the bowler bowled a foul ball to Bairstow which put England's score up to up to 2 away from the target to get a win this series. Then Mr Bairstow hit the ball for a four but I an thinking that the New-Zelaander managed to stop the ball before it touched the line but luckily from an English perspective the two of the batsmen managed to run in-between the the two creases twice to make the score what it ended up as/an English victory.
But today I'm sorry as I was slightly late at releasing this post as I can only say that I must have been more tired than I thought last night, sorry again.
