Game of Cricket

Game of Cricket
Considered the national game of England, cricket is also quite popular in countries that were formerly British colonies, such as India, Canada, Australia, and Pakistan. International matches can last between three and five days, and final scores often total several hundred runs. In this cricket World Cup final, the English wicketkeeper, left, attempts to put the Pakistani batsman out, while the batsman runs to the opposite crease, or line, in order to score a run.
