The Chapter opens on a cricket pitch in a park. Bluey is bowling, and Bingo is at bat. Bandit, Stripe, Pat, Lucky, Honey, Snickers, Mackenzie, Chloe, Rusty, and Dusty are fielding. Pat tosses the ball to Bandit.

Bandit: [voiceover] "Let me tell you about the time we tried to get Rusty out."

He hands the ball to Bluey.

Bandit: [voiceover] "It was some kid's birthday, I don't remember who. And we were playing cricket."

Bingo taps her bat on the ground.

Bluey: "Eryah!"

Bluey throws as hard as she can, the follow-through spinning her around. The ball flies high, and bounces a couple of times before it gets to Bingo. Bingo swings too soon and misses the ball. She lets go of the bat, and it knocks over the wicket. She falls on her bottom, laughing.

Bandit: "Oh, out you go, Bingo. Well done."

He gives her a thumbs-up.

Bluey: "Whose bat?"

Stripe raises his hand.

Stripe: "Mine."

Bandit: "Okay, everyone, move in close. Move in close."

Stripe: "Hilarious."

Stripe picks up the bat and takes his position.

Y/n: Go for pro uncle stripes

Stripe picks up the bat and takes his position.

Bandit: "Give us a bowl, Bluey."

She tosses Bandit the ball. He takes a running start and bowls.

Bandit: "Erryah!"

Stripe: "Err!"

Stripe hits the ball high and fast.

All: "Whoa!"

Y/n: Nice

It bounces off the roof of a house, outside the park.

Pat: "Six and out!"

Stripe walks away smugly.

Bandit: "Oh, man!"

Pat: "Who hasn't had a bat yet?"

Bluey: "Rusty hasn't."

She points at Rusty, who is showing Dusty proper catching posture.

Pat: "Hey, Rusty. Your bat, mate."

Bluey: "Dad, can we play tiggy instead?"

Bandit waves to someone off screen, seeking the ball.

Bandit: "What? Cricket's more fun than tiggy."

Someone throws the ball from off screen, Bandit catches it.

Bluey: "But cricket is just about hitting a ball around the grass."

Bandit: "Cricket's about more than that, kid."

Rusty picks up the bat and takes up his stance.

Bandit: "Tell you what, we'll get Rusty out and then play tiggy."

You walk up to them

Y/n: may I please take this one?

Bandit: sure thing kiddo (he said as he tossed you the ball)

You position yourself as if you were ready to throw the ball to rusty but at the last minute you throw it to stripe's leg

Stripes: OWWW!
