What words do we use about cricket?

Both schools produce a glossary, a dictionary of words used in cricket. Words like: wicket, batting, bowling, googly...

Make a really BIG glossary

The children send their cricket words dictionary to each other, so that they make one really BIG glossary. They can email their words to each other, put them in the postbox, or their teacher can scan in their writing and email the picture.
