The British sport


Today I went out to see a game of cricket. Cricket, in my opinion, is the greatest sport ever. It is also very simple play. The field is basically a slightly flattened circle with a rectangle, called the pitch, in the middle. The pitch is where the main game is played; the rest of the field is just space for the ball to be hit to. At either end of the pitch are three poles with two to bars on top. This assembly is called a wicket. My favorite part is when the strikers begin to score runs; the fielders work to get get the strikers out as they score runs. I try to go to every cricket game I can. (it is much better than American baseball)
