Week	Clue
1 	“Hello there, Cricket’s the name. Absolutely marvellous! And what a jolly good day for cricket it is too! I’m sure you can spot that I'm a top cricketer, the best in the village. Crikey I don’t want to sound all pompous buy my scores aren’t just about cricket. On the contrary, after some ins and outs, I became a rather big hitter. It’s been fantastic to be invited to play for you all this evening, I’m going to make it a jolly good knees up.”
3 	"After last week's performance I'm feeling completely bowled over. If you ask me, the entire panel are all out. I may be coming across al airs and graces but one could say I have a bit of a reputation. I've always had potential, different from the team pursuit. I don't want to take you on a ride but, competing, you "Knowles", it allowed my talent to grow. The competition has been rather thrilling hasn't it? Let's hope tonight's performance isn't a duck."
5 	"Last week was super fun! The panel played a jolly good game with their guesses. But they are no masterminds. Hello there, marvellous. One has had a few marks on the board and surely good innings. Whoops! I was in a league of my own. It was my calling. I went from playing the village green to playing arenas, and winning awards. You must be going around in circles guessing. It's rather fun confusing you I must confess. And tonight a marvellous opportunity to have a jolly good bash."
6 	"Last week, jolly good! The panel's comments-wow! Huh, huh, huh?? Golly! What a competition! Everyone's being such jolly good sports. What a great line-up of talent. Very competitive, the way I like it! Don't go cricket-green with envy, but I've had success in my field. I've made a splash, that's for sure! Anyway, I'm really growing in this competition". Time to hit the stage, let me clear my throat!"
7 	"What an innings it has been! Making jolly good runs and still not out. Jolly good, I've not been ushered here, it's been my destiny since I was a child. But it's not been an easy cruise. It could break your heart but there is justice, with everyone banding together. I've had success, I've hit the stumps seven times before. So I'm not looking to be runner-up. I'm ready for the semi-final. It's time to bowl out the competition."
8 	"Bravo, I'm still in bat! The panel have made their pitch, let's hope they won't catch me out. But now it's the finals. I'm dedicated, do you think I can go all the way? Or will I awfully dodge it? You'll be obliged to know I've mixed with hip-hop royalty. The excitement of the competition, it takes me back 20 years or more. Don't give it up, time to win! Before the curtain falls."

One sunny day while practicing his Cricket skills, he heard a beautiful melody floating through the air. Curiosity sparked within him, and he followed the sound. To his amazement, he found Caterpillar's Child, rehearsing for a big concert! Cricket's heart raced with excitement!

Cricket couldn't believe his luck, he had fulfilled his destiny.
