Arriving at the Hall around 13:00 the open school day had just finished so we could enter without any hindrances.

After sorting out a few seating arrangements on the landing, getting the teams ready and making sure we were to

play to the same rules, checking that the scorers were informed the visitors won the toss and elected to bat.

So we were 8 a side, 25 Over’s were agreed on, Jack (10 runs) and Daniel (13runs) opened the batting and

eventually made 56 runs with all the over’s.

Not forgetting we had a very mixed team age wise, Ryan, Daniel, Arne, Sam, Gaetan, Simon, Naman and Liam,

then proceeded to chase the runs down. Each batting pair got 5 over’s to bat and if you were out they lost 5 runs.

Nearly everybody got a chance to bowl. In the end CICC managed to get 24 runs, after losing quite a few -5’s near the end.

There were some great shots and some not so great, fielding from young Simon was fantastic, and if he keeps up his enthusiasm

he will become a great cricketer.

The general excitement and nervousness from all the players could be felt and it was great to see two sides playing indoor cricket.

I umpired the first innings and swopped with one of their dads in the second innings.
All was good natured and friendly and at the end of the day cricket won again.
The Bonn International School thanked us and suggested that we repeat this early next year again.
After a quick clean up and good by's I was happy to get home for my first cold beer.

Thanks again to all that helped, Paul,Bob,Wayne,Manoj,Tushar,Ritvik and Gaetan.

Yours truly
