Cricket

Yesterday was the longest day of the year, so a group of us went to the Meadows. It looked like it was going to be really nice and warm, but it wasn't. I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

The Meadows was deserted and that gave us lots of room to play cricket. I have never seen a cricket match. I know absolutely nothing about it. So they explained the rules to me...
1)you must wear white. It's the most important rule.
2)Someone else does the laundry after you play.
That's all they gave me.

It's something like baseball. You hit a ball with a bat and there is a pitcher, outfielders and a catcher. You run except you just run back and forth, short sprints--i like the satisfaction of actually running to different places you get in baseball--so you slide a lot.

Let me tell you, I missed my calling as a cricket player. I hit the ball every time. Seriously. I can't imagine a real cricket match though because by the time we were done after like an hour I was bored and tired. And those things go on for like 5 days apparently.
