SPOILER!!: Caolan! <3

No matter how great of a bowler you were, there were always going to be those times when you were hit for a massive six, four or close to the boundary. It was especially so when there was a Caolan at the crease. Adi watched in admiration as the ball sailed away. Look at the guy go, running between the wickets!

SPOILER!!: Abra! <3

For a moment, Kay worried that the ball was going to hit Abra but it was to her relief that it actually went to the left of him. She also wondered why it took him a while to chase after it. "Possibly he was preoccupied with some thought,’’ was her reply to herself. But Abra did succeed in chasing down the ball which was a great effort.

SPOILER!!: Jackson! <3

Kay could tell that Jackson was trying and that was all that mattered. Kaysha could tell that he was impressed by a few students, which was understandable as she was too.

SPOILER!!: Tina! <3

Cricket was so frustrating (and confusing)! But Tina supposed it could be worse. At least she wasn't stuck wicket keeping or bowling! As annoyed as she was with her failure at fielding, she kept at it. While her eyes scanned the pitch for any balls flying through the air, she noticed Professor Stewart beaming at her. She nodded, giving a small smile in return, but that split second of distraction cost her.

Tina's smile vanished as a ball went right past her. Come on, Tina! Get your head in the game, she silently berated herself for not paying attention. Okay, no more goof ups! She was going to catch the next ball that came at her, no ifs, ands, or buts. She stood, poised to strike, but before she got the chance, the teams were switching out. Finally! Now she could stop humiliating herself in the field and focus on the one aspect of this crazy sport she was semi-confident about (batting).

When Tina's turn came, she stepped up with a determined fire in her eyes, as if daring the bowler to even try anything funny. Nope, she was not getting out that easily! She gripped the bat tight as she crouched down, trying to emulate the stance Professor Noble had demonstrated earlier. Her eyes locked on the ball as it came closer and closer. All the frustration she felt at her previous failures built, flowing through her body to the tips of her fingers wrapped around the bat, and it gave her more power behind her swing. The bat and ball made contact with a resounding WHACK! It was going, going... yeah, it was gone. But Tina didn't have time to pat herself on the back just yet. She dropped the bat and ran as if she had a hungry dragon chasing her, hoping she'd make it before anyone caught her ball. If her team lost, it wasn't going to be because of her!

Tina was another student who was making very much of an effort. It was rather well noticed. Which was more noticeable? The running. Kay stared. She had not known the Ravenclaw had all of that speed in her. Did Tina ever think of trying out for Track sports? Sprinting might be an excellent fit!

Unfortunately, it was time to end today’s lesson. Not a moment too soon as six overs were completed on each side. “That’s it, everyone! That’s all the time we have today. I would have mentioned earlier that Adi’s team made 39 runs in their 6 overs. My team made 37 with 5 batsmen or women being out. This means that Adi’s team has won. A round of applause for them." Kay clapped loudly for her guest and his team. “I must say that my team did spectacularly as well, coming only two runs short. Excellent effort!’’ There was clapping for them as well.

Woot! His team had done it! “Professor Stewart’s right, Each of you did an awesome job, win or loose.’’

“You may go ahead and remove any gear you have on. When you’re done, you’re free to leave.”

“See you, guys! It was fun being back here and having a class with you.’’ His eyes sought out Coalan and Chloe. The girl wanted to ask him something about his Reserve and Coalan had some information to leave him.

OOC: Annnnd that’s a wrap, guys! It was awesome RPing with y’all during the lesson. Thank you for your participation <3 Points will be entered during the course of the upcoming weekend. I’ll leave the thread open for about 7 hours if you want to post your charries leaving.

SPOILER!!: Caolan! <3 Quote: Originally Posted by Lottiepot Caolan had caught many a stray ball in his time as wicketkeeper and managed to get a couple of people out (mostly the ones that stood there in absolute confusion as they hit the ball backwards somehow and forgot to run). He was enjoying himself but quite frankly this was not where he wanted to be. No, he was absolutely itching to get on the batting team and show these kids how it was done. Perhaps he might go a little easier on them.. ..naaaaahh. The teams switched around and the Ravenclaw stood up from his squatting position and stretched out his legs before excitedly bounced over to wait his turn. He was still talking to Adi in between waiting to bat. Getting to meet some of the big players would be amazing. His eyes lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” As for leaving his contact details he would be sure to do that. He made a mental note to speak to him after the lesson ended just before he was called up to bat next. He made direct eye contact with the bowler, sussing out their throwing style seconds before it came flying through the air towards him. He hit it with ease with an audible ‘thwack’ as it flew through the air and beyond the boundary. As the fielders scrambled to retrieve it he sprinted between the wickets gaining as many runs as he could before the ball got back. Mission accomplished. No matter how great of a bowler you were, there were always going to be those times when you were hit for a massive six, four or close to the boundary. It was especially so when there was a Caolan at the crease. Adi watched in admiration as the ball sailed away. Look at the guy go, running between the wickets! SPOILER!!: Abra! <3 Quote: Originally Posted by Felixir 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. For a moment, Kay worried that the ball was going to hit Abra but it was to her relief that it actually went to the left of him. She also wondered why it took him a while to chase after it. "Possibly he was preoccupied with some thought,’’ was her reply to herself. But Abra did succeed in chasing down the ball which was a great effort. SPOILER!!: Jackson! <3 Quote: Originally Posted by Dokimoto Jackson was trying to follow along, but for some reason he wasn't quite getting it. Jackson did as he was told and stood by a green plate, hoping they ran out of time before he had to go. Maybe next time, eh? At least he wasn't the only one who should stick to Quidditch! He could swear this game was made up by kids one day. Bowling in a field?? Sure... Jackson watched as each player went to ~~bat~~ bowl and MERLIN! There went Caolan! Jackson watched, eyebrows raised, as the ball flew and Caolan had run off. Jackson was way too far to catch it, but he watched as Abra tried his darndest to get over there. Good hustle, Abra, good hustle. Kay could tell that Jackson was trying and that was all that mattered. Kaysha could tell that he was impressed by a few students, which was understandable as she was too.
