At the grounds



 I see...
The fielder walking onto the pitch
The bowler staring at me as I stand waiting
The new red ball rushing at me
At the grounds




I hear...
The bowler shouting unrecognisable words
The ball hitting my bat as it makes a thug
The fielder throwing the ball with all his might
At the grounds



I feel ...
The ball shaking my bat
The Astro turf brushing against my shoe
The uncomfortable pads strap on  tight I can’t feel my legs
At the grounds

I want ...
To smash the ball out of the ground
To hear the smashing sound of the wicket as I   
Bowl  someone        
To hear the team cheer and shout as I catch someone     
At the grounds
 
I wonder ...
How many balls I will smash for six
How many times I will hear the smashing sound of the wickets
How many catch will come flying into my hands
At the grounds
