It was the semi-final of the cricket world cup….
I had been waiting in the rain for 1 hour. The cricket players finally came out at 5pm. The teams were NZL vs AUS. They only had 20 overs each to play. Australia batted first and posted 160-6 at the end of their 20 overs. New Zealand came out and batted. Martin Guptill went, Kane Williamson went. And suddenly NZ were 120 - 7 with 2 overs left. Luke Ronchi came out and smashed 5 sixes in 1 over, which put NZ 150 - 7. Then with 4 balls to go Ronchi smashed a six. The next ball he got out. Then Grant Elliott came out and with 1 ball left hit a six. We posted 162-7 which meant we won the semi !! Our fans went ballistic.
Its all well and good to write your 100 wc about sport but if the majority of your work is results the reader isn't going to want to keep reading. Next time you write about sport try and find a way to keep your reader interested. Zoe
ReplyDeleteI like how you used our fans went ballistic because ballistic it is a very good adjective.
