"Aah... that guy left his notebook here."
Before she could guve it back to the others they'd already left.
...
"Ooh, this... is a nice atmosphere. Honestly, the growd isn't much but... that ground seems nice."
Jameon seemed a bit excited to be watchibg a game he's never watched, An International one, Like and with his own tow eyes.
He was afterall a sports freak.
"Whw, look at you being all excited."
"Haha, i can't Help it."
"Ooh looks like the toss took place. It appears that South Korea will bat first."
"Hmm, what's that?"
"It's the place that's occupied hy the hitter In baseball."
"So, china will be pitching than? Understood. It's not at all complicated. Seems easy enough to understand."
...
"See, That's apparently callef run out. And the next batter comes in and the one who got out won't get another chance. Unlike With Baseball. There's only 1 chance you get in a game."
"Next batter Ji Yeong, Ji Yeong."
"Seems high pressure."
"Ooh, it's the guy That's joined our class. What does he-"
"Aah, that's him... The guy, who i saw at the cafe. I told you remember... That guy."
"Ooh, it's that guy haa? How weird that i haven't even met him once, except when i saw him running out, Unexpectedly he was woth you guys haa."
"But... something is weird about him isn't it? Is that really the guy?"
"What do you mean bomi?"
"He... looks completely different. From what expressions he made before. He... seems confident."
"Now that you say that... He doesn't seem to be taking hesitative steps like he did at The cafe. His expression too... doesn't seem as goofy as it did before. Nice observation Bomi."
"Hehe."
...
I feel... nervous, I just realised that this was my very first International Match.
I do know where to take guard on.
It's not that old, so... let's take the off stump guard just in case.
"Off."
i marked my crease tapped my bat signaling that i was ready and he threw the ball at me.
Hmm, it's... slower, Probably slower than Her.
"Howssthatttt!!!"
...
"See, That's called leg before wicket or LBW for short Bla bla bla."
"He sure has taken the role of explaining things to us."
"Heh... he sure has. He too likes to explain things to them."
"You see, if the ball Bla bla bla."
...
I was caught off guard... There is no swing at all and it was a Length ball, which came straight.
It's thanks to the outside off guard that i barely survived.
If not, I'd have been given plum, crashing middle stump.
after having a bit of an argument with the Unpire the bowler went back to his lineup.
I mean, it was totally outside the off.
Welp, whatever.
...
"hmm, Why's he not hitting any shots like with baseball? They hit from ball 1 no."
"That's the thing about this game. See i told you didn't i? There isn't a strike out or a rule that suddests that you hace to run after hitting."
"Aah, so that's why. I was wondering why he wasn't running even thought he hit the ball. Now, i feel like i won't misunderstand."
Pereium said in excitement.
She was trying to gain some points from Jameon even though she wasn't really interested.
And also because she had to write the report.
"Man... It's kinda boring isn't it? Why'd you have to make us watch something like this."
The other class members were irritated because of the assignment as they mouthed off their contempt for the teacher.
...
"Wow, he's talented... Playing like that at 25? I've seen Some matches and he was excellent."
Jameon said as he was in awe.
"Hmm... is this possible? Scoring a 100? I've only ever known people Dancing at a homerun. Also, it was something else watching it on that screen."
While periume mouthed whatever came to mind, as she acted like she understood anything.
"I... never thought I'd see china being so helpless against South Korea. This is new."
Seolhwa felt a sort of unknown feeling watching China being beaten so bad.
She felt a sadistic side inside her wake up as she saw the chinese players feeling down.
...
"Sir, the south korean team beat China."
"Whattt? That's impossible. They are being trained with absolute best Technology... How did they lose? Against south Korea."
"Well, Sir... their team 192, with a 100 from 1 player. and we were bundled out for a mere 70."
"Are you serious? That's... a 1 sided Match... Against South Korea? How??"
"Here's the match highlights."
"Hmm... I see, So... they watched previous match videos and gauged all the weaknesses of our players and made a team based on that?"
"...that's impressive. I didn't know someone was this knowledgable about cricket in South Korea."
"You... Don't see the bigger picture here assistant... The fact of the matter is, They... Had the resources to pull this off. They have a serious trainer. Someone even we don't."
"Yes sir, We were only going to play the 2 as a warm up match before the asian qualifiers but... they really did a number on us."
"Haha, i feel ashamed to accept this... but you are right. We were on our way to a new age for china's cricket... but we were putplayed by South Korea."
...
Damn... that was a good game. Scoring a 100, On my very first t20 International. I'm quite liking this.
I entered the cafe like every other day, and there was seolhwa, Pereome and Yamen and the old lady with them.
I was supposed to make my entrance today but i skipped it because i was kinda exhausted.
So, i just went straight into the cafe to have the lemon tart, which i liked very much.
Surprisingly, My mother in law has been sending extra money.
Since she's making alot.
And I'm using that money to come to this cafe.
I'm in now way rich to be eating such things.
But, thanks to the allowance i can afford 1 every week.
"What would you like today?"
"1 strawberry tart please."
I looked at the menu and asked for something i wanted to try.
After a bit of time, i got to have it.
It tasted delicious.
I also ordered ginger tea, which was added into the menu recently.
and together they tasted excellent.
I felt like i was in heaven.
A nice gift to myself after scoring my first International 100.
