Under 8 Blue Team Report
This was the first “real” season of cricket for all 8 players, with 6 playing Kanga cricket last season and 2 new recruits. The team quickly gelled and all players and parents had a great time throughout the season.
It was really enjoyable and rewarding to see all the kids play in the right spirit, never give up even when
a win seemed like it would never come our way and develop their cricket skill whilst having fun. I was especially proud of the way the team performed in the field throughout the season with particular pride in their accurate bowling and backing each other up.
Parker - featured in some great batting partnerships with a highest score of 15. With some work on his bowling Parker will turn his height and left arm advantage into a bowling weapon!
Frederick - bowled consistently well and with great variety in his deliveries. Fred is an excellent fielder and the results with the bat will come next year with the experience gained from this first season.
Ewan - has an excellent batting technique and played some elegant and powerful shots throughout the season. Ewan’s bowling improved as the season progressed with some great spells of bowling.
Emily - received our Spirit Award for consistently being the first to training and games and always playing with great energy and a smile. Emily showed major improvement to her bowling initially and then towards the end of the season also got more comfortable with the bat and belted one of the memorable boundaries of the season.
Aravindh - an excellent runner between the wickets and another with a strong batting technique who scored plenty of runs. Aravindh’s bowling improved as the season progressed.
Ryan - a run-up and bowling action that is beyond his years, Ryan will be much stronger in all areas next season. One of the best fielders in the team, he never let a ball go past him and threw the stumps down on many occasions.
Sophia - received our Batting Award and played some excellent innings for us. Sophia also showed her skills with some fast bowling that had the batters hopping around.
Shankaran - received our Bowling Award and bowled with great accuracy and pace all season. Shankaran is also an excellent fielder who was always in the game and a pleasure to coach.
Thanks to all the parents for their support and assistance during the season, especially Sathi, Greg and Vargi who helped each and every week and made my job so much easier.
Aron Kramlik - Coach
