Model Answer 1:
Cricket is a globally renowned sport and in Cape Town, I like to play cricket in 
the evening. I usually play cricket in the evening with my college friends. 
It has turned into a habit for me to play cricket for around two to three hours 
in the evening on the small field beside my residence. I have formed a group to 
assist me in the sport. All of them are almost the similar age of mine and we 
have born and brought up in this street of Cape Town. So, the bonding among 
is stronger and when I proposed to start the game into our local field, all of 
them agreed collectively without any hesitation. With the collective 
contribution, we bought necessary element for the sport like a cricket bat, 
balls, and wooden stamps. Since this is not played in a professional level, we 
did not buy the professional tools like helmets, pads and guards etc. We use 
tennis balls and scotch tapes to make the balls run faster. Interestingly, we do

not hit sixes as there are chances to lose the ball when a six is made. 
I usually go play at the small playground right beside the Strand Street. Earlier, 
the place was bare but with the advancement of modern age, it is being filled 
up with structures and only the playground is left. In my childhood the 
playground was larger in size but not it has been reduced to a great extent. It 
becomes difficult for us to play cricket and interestingly we cannot make 
strong strokes lest we lose the ball. So, we are to play with limitations as we do 
not have any access to any renowned playgrounds or fields. Moreover, we 
cannot afford to be a member of those expensive playgrounds. Thus we are 
happy with our tiny field and been playing cricket for long years. But it is 
unknown that how long we could continue our cricket on this ground. Usually, 
our game is set for 20 over altogether and we finish it by dusk. 
Following the standard rule, cricket requires 22 players (at least) and three 
umpires to decide the win or lose. But since this is a local game of us, we have 
modified the game a bit for our handiness. The cricket team consists seven 
members. Each of the team has seven members and there are 14 members 
during the play and we also have some spectators around. They watch and 
enjoy the game. When I participate in the game, I am assigned as a fast bowler 
and allowed to bat in the third down position. Generally, we do not have any 
third umpire and there is only one who is selected from one of the playing 
teams or from the spectators around (if someone agrees). 
I enjoy the sport indeed as it is the only way for me to pass my leisure hours. I 
wait around the day to start cricket. When I get back home from college, I take 
some foods and get out with the cricket bat. Interestingly, we have only two 
teams in the street who are interested in cricket and the necessary sporting 
tools and materials are distributed among the players. So, each of them brings 
the assigned materials like a bat, balls or stamps etc. The way we play in 
unconventional but it is highly amusing for us. We do not make quarrels but 
sometimes disputes over the decisions and we mitigate that internally. 
Sometimes we arrange for small scale tournament with the other boys of our 
college and held the matches at the same ground and they also agree to play in 
compliance with the rules made by us. So, I enjoy the evening cricket matches 
much than any other things.
