HOW TO PLAY CRICKET: INTRODUCTION TO SPORTS

Cricket is a very unknown sport in our country, so today I decide to tell you a little about how to play cricket, its rules, positions and some technical details that I hope you like. So, let's go there! Cricket is a sport that originated in England and is currently widespread in Asia as we have told you in previous posts of this blog. For those of you who are not experts, it may seem a little complicated, but once you understand it, it is even simpler than football or basketball.

If you want to know how to play cricket, the first thing you have to know is that it is a game that needs a lot of patience. The matches can last up to 28 hours. Even in some cases there is a break for tea.
PLAYING FIELD
The playing field in which cricket is practiced is oval, with a rectangular space in the center, which is called a court. To learn how to play cricket you have to be very attentive to this area, since that is where all the action is generated. At first sight the field where cricket is played may resemble baseball, but in practice both games have nothing to do with it. The lawn where cricket is played must be in perfect condition, because if it is not very difficult to control the ball and give the right boat to enjoy the game. The rectangular area that measures 3.4 m wide by 20.12 m long, is divided by four field lines: the line of attack or batting, known as 'popping crease'; two return lines -creurn crease- that are parallel along the court and the launch line -bowling create-, which divides the area into two rectangular sections.

It has become clear…? Do not? The fact is that summarizing the fundamentals of the game is almost impossible without writing a minitose. And perhaps that's why the famous British lexicographer, Samuel Johnson, did not include a definition of cricket in his first dictionary of the English language, which was published in 1755 - more than a decade after the first official regulations of the game were esta
