Cricket
Cricket is a sport played with 11 people on a pitch. It involves a bowler who bowls the ball, which the batsman then hits and hopefully then scores a run. A fielder then picks up the ball and either throws it to the bowler or the wicket keeper.
Cricket is a world wide played sport. Many countries around the world now take part in either friendly matches or in competitions such as the oneday internatnional one or the 20 overs a side one. When you win tournaments, points are added to your team and you may go up in the rankings table.
Often people go on cricket tours to certain countries. If they do this, then they play not only the country’s team, but also some of the country’s not quite internatnional teams. For example if a team went on tour to England, then they would also play Cantebury and other Counties like Leicester.
Schools also play cricket aswell as clubs. Our school plays many cricketing fixtures against other scools. I also play for a club called Oxford Downs. Cricket is usually played in the summer ,and at school, in the summer term.
I play a lot of cricket and I would strongly advise you to, as it is a great sport.
