First time I heard about cricket was in 2011, when my daughter Liina started playing it. It was very interesting to hear how fascinated and passionate she was about cricket. In 2012 December there was an event where every player could invite their friends and family along to play. Of course I went. Once was enough to find my new favourite sport. Cricket seemed so captivating and different from everything else I had played before. It was a pleasant so called vacation from every day life. For me it’s like a lifestyle which you can play according to your own abilities. Cricket has introduced me to so many new people and it is always pleasant to find yourself in Estonian Cricket Ground.

Esimest koda kuulsin kriketist aastal 2011, kuna minu tütar Liina hakkas selle spordialaga tegelema. Kõrvalt vaadates tundus huvitav kuulata kui suure põnevuse ja kirega ta sellest rääkis. Sama aasta detsembris organiseeriti üritus kuhu mängijad said kaasa kutsuda sõpru ja pereliikmeid, loomulikult ma läksin. Sellest ühes korrast mängimisest piisas, et ma leidsin endale uue lemmik sportmängu. See mäng tundus nii põnev ja teistsugune kõigest sellest mida olin enne teinud. Kriket pakkus meeldivat vaheldust ja mulle tundub, et see on nagu elustiil mida saab harrastada oma võimete kohaselt. Kriket tõi minu tutvusringkonda hulga uusi inimesi ja imeliseks kohtumispaigaks sai Eesti Kriketiliidu mänguväljak.
