C.1.)
Our school cricket team is practicing really hard for the zonal matches. I have no doubt that we willbeat the local teams very easily, but when it comes to the outside teams, I am not as confident. Our boys mustwork very hard. Perhaps they coulddo some yoga exercises to improve their concentration. They need not worry about their fitness at this stage, but they shouldfollow a strict routine.
Last year they had to struggle to reach the finals. The draw might have been a little unfavourable to them but they shouldn’t have neglected their fielding. This landed them in trouble in the quarter finals. This year our team shouldtry and do better in the field. We lost the finals last year mainly because of floored catches! A casual approach to this aspect must have been the cause of our failure at the crucial stage. So our team ought to improve its fielding and get its batting to click.
