I started playing cricket in spring 2009. I heard about it from a friend of mine, who\u2019s Australian friend was playing cricket in Estonia. I went to see the game once or twice and it seemed really strange game at first. All the players were super friendly and asked me to come to play straight away and before I knew it I was already running around on the field without even knowing the rules. It took some time to get to know the rules as there are loads of them and to know these 100% would be tricky but if you get the main idea of the game and rules it is really fun and challenging to play cricket. It is a social, physical and also mental and strategical game, and this is what makes it exciting and fun to play. You always have a chance to learn something new and improve your skills.
\nMy favourite moments in cricket are the wickets taken in the games, it is a proof for me that I have the skills and I am helpful for the team.
\nAlso great moments are involved with tournaments abroad. I have been to tournaments with the women\u2019s team (in Holland, Italy, Finland) and Estonian mixed team (Native\u2019s Cup tournament in Poland). In these tournaments you will get a great solidarity and when playing against foreign teams the motivation and will to win and concentration are higher than in some home games.\u00a0 And when you win, oh that is a sweet feeling \ud83d\ude42
\nIn 2013 I decided that I wanted to know more about Estonian Cricket Association, so I applied for the board and got selected. I was involved in the ECA board till spring 2019. From 2015 to 2019 I also was the President of the Association. These years were exciting and challenging. I got a lot of experience and saw how the non-profit organisations actually work, and saw cricket from a different perspective than playing on the field. In these and following years our Association has grown a lot thanks to a lot of volunteers and a lot of work was done to get to the point where we are now \u00a0\u2013 we have more clubs, new grounds and people are more aware about Estonian cricket in Estonia and also abroad. I believe cricket has a lot of potential in our small country and our wonderful cricket enthusiasts will be able to attract more and more people to this great game!<\/p>\n

Mina alustasin kriketi m\u00e4ngimisega 2009 aasta kevadel. Kuulsin kriketi kohta enda s\u00f5brannalt, kelle Austraalia s\u00f5ber Eestis kriketit m\u00e4ngis. K\u00e4isin korra v\u00f5i kaks m\u00e4ngu vaatamas ja see tundus esialgu v\u00e4ga v\u00f5\u00f5ras ja kummaline m\u00e4ng. K\u00f5ik m\u00e4ngijad olid v\u00e4ga s\u00f5bralikud ja kutsusid kohe m\u00e4ngima, ja teadmata isegi reegleid leidsin ennast juba platsi peal ringi jooksmas.
\nReeglite \u00f5ppimisega l\u00e4ks ikka veidi aega, sest neid on ikka v\u00e4ga palju, et neid k\u00f5iki 100% teada, aga kui peamise m\u00f5tte m\u00e4ngust aru saab, on kriketit v\u00e4ga l\u00f5bus ja ka v\u00e4ljakutsuv m\u00e4ngida. Kriket on nii sotsiaalne, f\u00fc\u00fcsiline kui ka mentaalne ja strateegiline m\u00e4ng, mis teebki sellest v\u00e4ga p\u00f5neva tegevusala ning pidevalt on v\u00f5imalik midagi uut \u00f5ppida ja enda oskusi lihvida.
\nMinu lemmik hetked kriketis on kindlasti need kui olen m\u00e4ngus v\u00f5tnud wicketeid ning need annavadki mulle indu, et enda oskusi veelgi paremaks saada ja wicketid on tunnistus sellest, et suudan olla tiimile kasulik ja hea m\u00e4ngija.
\nSamuti on lemmikhetked seotud ka v\u00e4listurniiridega. Olen k\u00e4inud turniiridel nii naiskonnaga (Hollandis, Itaalias, Soomes) kui ka eestlastest koosneva segatiimiga (Native\u2019s Cup turniir Poolas). Neil turniiridel tekib alati tiimiga m\u00f5nus \u00fchtekuuluvustunne ja m\u00e4ngides v\u00e4listiimide vastu, on tahtmine ja keskendumisv\u00f5ime m\u00e4ngus ka k\u00f5rgemal kui v\u00f5ibolla, et m\u00f5nes koduses m\u00e4ngus. Ja kui veel v\u00f5ita, vot see on veel eriti magus. \ud83d\ude42
\n2013.a. otsustasin, et sooviksin Eesti Kriketi Assotsiatsiooni tegevusega rohkem kursis olla ning kandideerisin juhatusse ning sain ka valituks. Olin juhatuses tegev 2019.a. kevadeni. Aastatel 2015-2019 olin ka Assotsiatsiooni president. Need aastad olid p\u00f5nevad ja v\u00e4ljakutseid oli palju. Sain v\u00e4ga palju kogemusi MT\u00dcde organisatoorse poole pealt ning n\u00e4gin kriketit ka veidi teise nurga alt kui ainult platsil m\u00e4ngides. Nende ja j\u00e4rgnevate \u00a0aastatega arenes meie Assotsiatsioon t\u00e4nu paljudele vabatahtlikele j\u00f5udsalt ning palju t\u00f6\u00f6d on tehtud, et meie Eesti kriket j\u00f5uaks sinna, kuhu ta praeguseks j\u00f5udnud on \u00a0\u2013 klubide arv on kasvanud, uued kriketiv\u00e4ljakud on valmis ja inimesed on Eesti kriketist teadlikumad nii Eestis kui ka v\u00e4ljaspool Eestit. Usun, et kriketil on meie v\u00e4ikeses riigis potentsiaali ja meie tublid kriketi entusiastid suudavad veelgi rohkem huvilisi m\u00e4ngu juurde meelitada!<\/p>\n
