The Night I Went to Cricket by Zion Ebony Williams: When Guyana went in to bat, they were making a lot of runs and catching up to Antigua. We only got to dance and wave when we outed one of their batsmen. The children were still having lots of fun, but not the grown up Antiguan fans. You should have heard the “ chuptzes” and seen the sad faces every time the Guyana batsmen hit the ball for six or four runs. Mommy kept saying, “This not sweet now, I just feel like going home. It looks like we’re going to lose this game, and I don’t want to be here to see it.” “No mommy, please let’s just stay a little longer, please… please!” I begged. Just then, two men, one from Guyana and one from Antigua, started to curse each other, and a fight almost broke out. Then there was a loud shout, and everyone looked back at the field, even the men who were about to fight. Guyana’s batsman had just hit the ball high in the air, and I heard mommy screaming, “Catch, Catch!” There was silence, as the ball came down, and then a loud groan, “aaaahhh!” from the Antiguans, as the ball was dropped. Guyana’s fans were screaming with delight.
