    Cricket is a national sport which is played between two teams of eleven players each who score

    runs (points) by running between two sets of three small, wooden posts called wickets. Each of the
    wickets is at one end of a rectangle of flattened grass called the pitch. Around the pitch is a much
    larger oval of grass called the cricket ground.There is 30 yard circle between the ground
    (stadium). MCC the official Laws of Cricket Retrieved 25 July 2009</ref>
    The game started in England in the 16th century. The earliest definite reference to the sport is in
    a court case of 1598.[1] The court in Guildford heard a coroner, John Derrick, that when he was a
    scholar at the "Free School at Guildford", fifty years earlier, "he and diverse of his fellows did run and
    play [on the common land] at cricket and other players".[2][3] Later, the game spread to countries of
    the British Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries.
    Today, it is a popular sport in England, Australia, the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Sri
    Lanka and Bangladesh), South Africa, New Zealand, the West Indies and several other countries
    such as Afghanistan, Ireland, Kenya, Scotland, the Netherlands and Zimbabwe.
