cricket


I will talk about cricket. Cricket is summer sport. The sport is very popular in New Zealand, but in Japan, cricket isn’t much known. Cricket has a world cup, and it is held every four years. In New Zealand, the sport is very popular, but the country has never become a champion. Now Australia is the best stronger country in the world.
Cricket’s rule is hit, run, throw a ball, and get a point. It is similar to Baseball. However there are some different points. A cricket team is composed by 11 regular players, but a Baseball team is composed by 9 regular players. When you play cricket, and you are the hitter, you can hit every direction, a 360 degree. Baseball is decided the direction we can hit. Cricket game is very long. It is for 5 days. Baseball game will finish for a one night in a day. We can get only 4 points in Baseball if we can get a lot of points, but in cricket, we can get 6 points. There is a strange rule of cricket. It is to take a tea time, lunch time, drink time in the middle of playing if the game takes very long time. Baseball does not these times.
In Japan, most people know the name “cricket,” but cricket is not popular sports. I have never seen people who play it, so I wish that cricket become popular sports in Japan. However I heard that cricket is boring sport, so I am sure that cricket can not become popular in Japan.
