Dear Tom, I’m writing
this
letter to tell you about the cricket match that happened
last
weekend at Wimbley stadium. I really felt that your absence from the team made us really sorry for how much you were excited to play the game. I need to inform you that our team Newton State has won the match with an additional man of the series cup
also
. The day was perfect with sunny weather and a clear blue sky with clouds all around.
However
, the pitch was in rough condition and the bowler's job made extremely difficult to perform up to the pace, but they managed it very well.
Also
, the umpire was too tough sometimes in giving the runs unnecessary for the bowl that was made perfectly. I really felt grateful that our team performed through the match with extraordinary skills taken by the members.
Furthermore
, it make me a captain that all our teammates put their effort to a high level and brought back the history cup to our mainland once again. I hope you get well soon and just counting on our reunification. Keep in touch, Chris.
