MY FAVOURITE GAME

               My Favourite Game

Cricket is my favourite game.It is an interesting game.The game is played between two teams.Each team consists of eleven players.The field must be spacious.It must have a turf.Two wooden bats, a ball and two sets of stumps are also needed for playing it.Generally, the duration of a cricket match is 100 overs.Each over consists of six balls.Two umpires conduct the game.Sometimes, a third umpire is required to give the final decision when any confusion arises.Before the beginning of the game, a toss is held between two captains to specify "Fielding group" and "Batting group".The bowler starts bowling.He tries his level best to out the batsman.The batsman tries to save himself and to make a good score.The batsman hits the ball away at a good distance and runs to the opposite wicket.The batsman at the other wicket runs to his place.Thus one run is scored.If the ball crosses the boundary line, four runs are scored.And if it flies over the boundary line, six runs are scored.If the batsman is out, another batsman comes to his place.The team which can score more runs wins the game.Cricket is an ideal game.It teaches us patience, obedience, manliness, co - operation, promptness and lesson of team work.It makes the players active and laborious.It entertains and excites the spectators.For these various reasons, cricket is my favourite game.
