looks a good job mate, well done, one piece of advice, is stay away from wood glue, as its brittle, I would use PVA to stop the glue chipping away :)

Wood glue is often PVA based unless it says the word 'resin' in the name/description.

Thanks to all of u guys... Cricket is played in Panama for more than 100 years when West Indian workers came for the construction of the Panama Canal... now a days threre are not west indians playing anymore, but there are 25 cricket teams all of them are Indian expats or their Panama borned sons (i am one of them)

We have a national side that will be playing next week in Bahamas in ICC Americas Second Division, looking to qualify for Americas First Division.

There is a group in Facebook related to Panamanian Cricket, look for "Cricket Panamá" if u guys whant to join....
Cheers....
