Now it was their turn to do the bowling and fielding and, though Abra was slowly starting to get the hang of this game, he knew he didn't have any sort of skill when it came to actually throwing the ball in the whole cricket style. Just couldn't get the hang of that whole special overarm throw, or the yorkie thing or whatever it was called. No, he'd stick to this fielding thing for as long as possible.

Abra was expecting, as he took up his position out on one of the plates, that it wouldn't take too long for the ball to come his way again. Well, that simply wasn't true. Time after time, the ball was either not hit, or smacked in some completely different direction. The waiting got boring, and after a few minutes, Abra started to zone out slightly.

And so it was that, when the ball finally did come vaguely in his direction, he didn't realise it at first. Not until his eyes unglazed and he looked up to see the ball going off to his left. There was no way he'd be able to beat it to its landing point, so Abra had to settle with running after it, scooping up the ball as it rolled towards the boundary and throwing it back towards those nearer the wicket.
