CRICKET………AN INTERESTING SPORT ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW IT

Even though hardly anyone in Singapore follows this sport, let alone plays it, it is still an extremely popular sport on the global level. Many people are ignorant of this extremely interesting sport. It is obvious that most residents of Singapore are soccer-crazed fans and are thus totally oblivious to the fact that many countries have both soccer and cricket fans. Just take a look at England. It has a very accomplished soccer team and at the same time they are quite good at cricket. In fact the English started the game in the first place. Although the English started the game, surprisingly they have never won a world cup championship! The game is actually dominated by the Australians.
Now about the game; cricket like a number of other team sports consists of eleven players. There are two sides in each game. One team bats first while the other bowls. The batting team’s objective is to score as many runs(points) as possible in a limited amount of time; 50 overs(an over is completed when a bowler bowls six times without committing any foul). The runs are achieved by hitting the ball with the bat and then running to the other side of the pitch. If a player of the fielding side manages to catch a ball without letting it bounce first the batsmen is out. If ten batsmen get out then the batting side has to switch with the bowling/fielding side. Now the fielding side’s objective is to score the runs as fast as possible, while the previous batting side tries to restrict them to a minimal.
I am fully aware that most of you, who read this post, would probably be bamboozled by all these rules, which might not even make much sense to you. But please people, seriously wake up! Soccer is not the only freaking sport in the world. Stop being so ignorant! Appreciate all sports. Just imagine if your parents were to move to Australia and then you would find all the students talking about cricket while you try search for someone who cares about soccer. What then?! Hunh?
And yes, I know that I hardly explained much about the sport, but don’t tell me you didn’t get the message I was trying to convey to you.
P.S: if you really did not get the message, I suggest you see a doctor or better yet a psychiatrist.
