Cricket A Fun Sport. People around the world play an exciting sport called cricket. In cricket, a batter hits a ball with a large flat bat. The ball is about the same size as a baseball. The Basics. Two teams play a game of cricket. Each team has eleven players. They play on an oval field with an area in the middle called a pitch. The teams take turns batting and bowling, or throwing a ball. Two batters on the batting team stand on each end of the pitch. The team that isn't batting plays in the field. One player on each team is the bowler. The bowler throws a ball to a batter on the other team. The bowler tries to hit three small posts in the ground near the batter. These posts are called stumps. At the top of the stumps are two small pieces of wood called bails. Together, the stumps and bails are called wicket. If the bowler's ball knocks the bails off the wicket stumps, the batter is out. The batter protects the wicket by hitting the ball with his or her bat. If the batter hits the ball, he or she runs down the pitch. If the batter swaps places with the other batter, he or she scores one point. The point is called a run. Nine players on the bowling team play in the field. Their job is to get the balls that the batter hits. They can get the batter out by catching the ball. They can also throw the ball and hit the wicket to get an out. After ten outs, the bowling team gets their turn at bat. At the end of the game, the team with more runs wins. The History of Cricket. In the 1500s, children in England played cricket. By the early 1700s, adults started playing as professionals. In 1788, people created the cricket rules still in use today. Soon, cricket teams formed outside England as well.

Ethan, college basketball player from Chicago, USA My day starts at 8 am with the weight training program. We do a ten- minute warm-up, and then it's hard work for 50 minutes. At nine o'clock my classes start. When we have an away match, we can't do so much school work. When we are back at school, we have to work harder than the others. But I'm not complaining - I've been in the team for more than a year now, and it's cool. I have a break between 1.00 and 2.30. I try to take only 30 minutes for lunch and the rest I use for studying. The afternoon is full of classes and practice. At night I have to watch videos of games, I have to read books about basketball and study for my exams, too. When I finally go to bed - often nearly midnight - I'm completely exhausted!
