patgundThe basic form of the game now called "Cricket" dates back as far as the 13th century. It grew in the 17th century, and had become the national sport of England by the end of the 18th century. The British Empire imported the sport around the world, and today it is insanely popular in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, as well as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bermuda, and the West Indies.
A cricket match is played with two teams of 11 players each, on a grass field that is usually a rough oval. In the middle of this field is a flat strip of ground called a pitch. At the end of the pitch is a set of three wooden stakes (stumps) driven into the ground with two cross pieces (bails) on top. This is the wicket. The bowler on one team bowls a hard leather ball from one wicket to the other. The batsman on the other team defends their wicket with a wodden cricket bat. If the batsman doesn't get out, they run between the wickets, exchanging ends with the first team's batsman. The other members of the bowler's team stands around the field as fielders. The team that has scored the most runs wins the match.
