An actual GAME then? Well... obviously, of course all of this would be leading into playing a proper game of cricket. Duh. Well, Abra was up for it, and pretty enthused to hear he would be up first at batting again; it had been kind of fun, and he wanted another whack at it, literally actually.
So Abra stepped up to the wicket, bat in hand, and tried his best to repeat the stance that Professor Noble had showed him. He couldn't quite remember it in its entirety, but he didn't really have time to worry about that, because there was a cricket ball being thrown right at him.
Or bowled. Whichever.
Completely forgetting himself, Abra did what anyone would do in that situation and swung the bat wildly at the ball. It was blind luck that he connected with it at all, even luckier that he sent it soaring out towards those out fielding (or was it lucky? he hadn't considered the idea that someone might catch it). Abra hesitated for a moment, took one step towards the opposite wicket... then another... then started running to try and get those runs that Professor Stewart had talked about. He didn't really have a clue what he was doing, and only knew that 'hit the ball and run' was sort of the general idea.
