Tribute to cricket crazy nation.

India is a cricket-crazy country, though cricket is not India's national game. (India's national game is hockey, i.e., field hockey). Most Indians, men and women, young and old, are simply addicted to cricket. When the game is on ( and it is played over a full day, big matches usually are played over 3 to 5 days at a stretch), most people of the entire country are glued to the television sets watching the match. Life can come to a standstill if India is winning.

This is played by two teams playing against each other. In a team, 11 players play together. There are some specialist performers. Some are batsmen, some are bowlers, some are fielders and one is wicket-keeper. One by one the team members perform and considering their performance which contributes scoring the winning team comes up. Scoring depends on the runs made by a team. Runs are calculated through crease performance of the batsman.

Today the match between India and England is about to start and all the cricket crazy people are already glued to the TV sets in there homes so i don't want to encroach upon there time .My best wishes are with yours to make India win this match and the CUP of course !
