Nicholas' Cricket Presentation Night

Nicholas has enjoyed his first season of cricket very much. He continuously improved throughout the season. Presentation night was on Saturday night and we enjoyed a lovely roast meal and good company. To our surprise Nicholas won the bowling average on 10.75. We knew Nicholas had been doing well but there are a number of good players in the team all of whom have been playing for a lot longer. For those of you not up on cricket the bowling average means that for every 10.75 runs that were scored against him he took a wicket. (I had to have this explained to me because I had no idea.) Apparently Brett Lee and Shane Warne have averages in the early 20's so Nicholas did really well. The coach said that he also almost got the bowling aggragate (the highest number of total wickets for season) and that he was a very close 2nd in the batting average and aggragate. This photo was taken when we got home. There was a photographer there and I am getting some copies of photos that were taken so I will post them when I get them.
Photos don't want to go on so I'll try again later.
