Melbourne cricket  ground in the media

................................................................................................

It was dead silent, no one even tried to make a single noise maybe because they were also nervous. While I'm focusing on bowler, she starts to run and I got ready to hit the ball, she ran in full speed and released the ball when she reached the crease and here it was I swung the bat and it got contact with the ball which made the ball to fly high in air, everyone was looking at the ball myself included and the ball went in full speed passing the point border straight towards the crowd but of course everyone was still dead silent actually I can't blame them cause we need 6 more points and it was the last ball so it was normal to be nervous, but what about me am I nervous?

To be honest I don't know I have no idea how I feel because I'm playing for fun while my whole team was relaying on me, heck! whole school was relaying. Oh the little brat starts to run again in her full speed okay now it's the time. Oh god! I thing I feel something now, no ugh! Ones again I swung my bat with my whole strength to make it fly and of course it flew in the high air it was like everything was happening in a slow motion, ball went passing the point border ones again indicating that we won, everyone stood from their seats and started cheering, hooting and whistling I think they have gone crazy but again they must be really happy because they know how much we spend our time training until our body was sore.

Oh wait you people must have no idea what's going on and who the hell is me. Aha I'm Dylan Davis, I'm 5'11 and I personally think it's too much of a height but it came in handy. Hmm I studied in Wesley high school and now I'm off to college.

We are the best girls' cricket team from all schools and I'm the captain of the team but I'm hand-overing the captain tag to another kid, and this was the last match and it was the champions which we won easily. We the graduates of the school thoughts of not playing to the game but juniors and teachers kept on telling us to play so why not.

Aaargh! Shit! My back hurts, I'm crushed to the ground with my idiot team mates, seriously did they have to jump on me like that when I was introducing myself to you people.

"Good job man, you saved our asses" said Bella

"Its women not man and I know I'm an awesome well talented person" I said

"Can u guys get off from me?" I said while trying to shove them to aside but of course no use they were too heavy. "Ops sorry dude here" Alex said while extending his hand for me to standup. I held it and stood, other team approached us and we shook our hands and they congratulated us.

"Dylan come here, it's time for the group photo "said the coach, he was standing with the trophy, every one of us went near him and stood while holding the trophy and facing the cameraman. " say cheese" said mike and whole team shouted cheese with the photo was taken.

After that we left the ground with our bags and headed towards the bus, and I straightly went towards the back seat.

"yo homie you said you want to join the national team right dude?" said Mike,

"Yeah of course man it's my only dream" I said

"Oh then you must have seen that old man who was staring at you whole time" said mike

"No I didn't" I said back looking out of the window

"You should have seen him dude, he was like a stalker he didn't left his eyes from you till the end of the game" said Alex

"Oh really like I care" I said, like it was a big deal to an old man to stare at me seriously who cares

"I think it was a recruiter, oh yeah you said you don't care right. So let's change the topic what are you up to these days?" said mike

"A recruuuuuiteeeer!?" I screamed and looked at him intensely. Oh my god did I hear it right, what was a recruiter doing there? Obviously to examine you what else my inner self said, ugh! Wait wait did I play well? Let me think...

"Mike are you sure it was a recruiter? I asked him, he was now looking at me amused like it was funny.

"Yes D it was, I think you should ask from the coach about him. I saw him talking to coach and giving him something" said Mike, I showed him thumb up. Hmm what can be that something. I should ask from coach, with that thought I plugged the earphones and turned the volume high while looking outside the window.

"wake up we are here" I felt tapping on my shoulder, I open my eyes and look who tapped, I sighed I must have fallen asleep while listening to music. I looked outside the window he was right we were at school, bus has come to a stop I looked back inside the bus everyone was getting out. I stood and took my duffel bag getting out of the bus.

"Hey D your coming to the party right?" ask Bella, party! What party I didn't know about that. I looked at her confused.

"Ugh D the party at Tyler, we organized a party if we win remember?" said Bella, oh we did organize one. "So are you still in?" ask Bella.

"Of course women how can I miss the party and I'm the captain remember?" I said smirking.

"Dylan, come here" coach shouted I looked around to find from where he called me, aha there he is near the entrance. I walked lazily not to be rude I'm really tired. "Hurry up Dylan I can't stand whole night here" he yelled.
