    c  is a bat-and-ball team sport.

    Many variations exist, with


    its most popular form played on an oval-shaped outdoor arena
    known as a cricket field at the centre of which is a rectangular
    22-yard (20.12 m) long pitch that is the focus of the game. A
    game (or match) is contested between two teams of eleven
    players each. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as
    possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying
    to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the
    batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the
    ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and
    touching thecrease there without being dismissed. The teams
    switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.
    There are also variations in the length of a game of cricket.
    In professional cricket this ranges from a limit of 20 overs per
    side (Twenty20) to a game played over 5 days (Test cricket,
    which is the highest level of the game). Depending on the form
    of the match being played, there are different rules that govern
    how a game is won, lost, drawn or tied. The rules of two-innings
    games are known as the Laws of Cricket and maintained by the
    ICC and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC); additional
    Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day
    Internationals augment these laws.[1] In one version of Indoor
    Cricket, matches include just 6 players per side and include two
    12-over innings.[2]
    Cricket was first documented as being played in southern
    England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it
    had developed to the point where it had become the national
    sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to
    cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the
    first international matches were being held. Today, the game's
    governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC),
    has 105 member countries.[3] With its greatest popularity in
    the Test playing countries, cricket is the world's second most
    popular sport after Association football.[4]

    
    þ  is a team game commonly played in the United States and other countries.
    It is a direct descendant of baseball although some key differences are that softballs
    are larger than baseballs and the pitches are thrown underhand rather than
    overhand. Softball is played on a smaller diamond than in baseball; a softball field's
    average distances from home plate to the center, left and right field fences are 220
    feet (67 meters) for females and 250 feet (75 meters) for males (the corresponding
    baseball field average distances are 410, 325 and 325 feet (125, 99 and 99 meters)).
    Despite the game's name, the standard softball is not soft; in fact, it is harder than a
    baseball.
    There are records of handball -like games in medieval France, and among
    the Inuit in Greenland, in the Middle Ages. By the 19th century, there existed similar games
    of i  fromDenmark, i in the Czech
    Republic, i  in Slovakia,
     in Ukraine,    in Germany, as well as versions
    in Uruguay.

    The team handball game of today was formed by the end of the 19th century in
    northern Europe, primarily Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden. Holger Nielsen, a
    Danish gym teacher, drew up the rules for modern handball ( i  ) in 1898 and
    published them in 1906, and Rasmus Nicolai Ernst, another Danis h teacher, did something
    similar in 1897.

    Another set of team Handball rules was published on 29 October 1917 by Max Heiser, Karl
    Schelenz, and Erich Konigh from Germany. After 1919 these rules were improved by Karl
    Schelenz. The first international games were played under these rules,
    between Germany and Belgium for men in 1925 and between Germany and Austria for
    women in 1930.

    In 1926, the Con gress of the International Amateur Athletics Federation nominated a
    committee to draw up international rul es for field handball. The International Amateur
    Handball Federation was formed in 1928, and the International Handball Federation was
    formed in 1946.

    Men's field handball was played at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. During the next
    several decades, the game of handball flourished and evolved as an indoor sport in the
    Scandinavian countries. The sport re -emerged onto the world stage as team handball for
    the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Women's team handball was added at the 1976
    Summer Olympics. Due to its popularity in the region, the Eastern European countries that
    refined the event became the dominant force in the sport when it was reintroduced.

    The International Handball Federation organized the men's world championship in 1938 and
    every 4 (sometimes 3) years from World War II to 1995. Si nce the 1995 world championship
    in Iceland, the competition has been every two years. The women's world championship has
    been played since 1957. The IHF also organizes women's and men's junior world
    championships. ã

    The !  is a plucked string instrument , usually played with fingers or a pick. The guitar
    consists of a body with a rigid neck to which the strings, generally six in number but
    sometimes more, are attached. Guitars are traditionally constructed of various woods and
    strung with animal gut or, more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Some modern
    guitars are made of polycarbonate materials. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers.
    There are two primary families of guitars: acoustic and electric.

    Acoustic guitars (and similar instruments) with h ollow bodies, have been in use for over a
    thousand years. There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical
    guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar , and the archtop guitar. The tone
    of an acoustic guitar is produced by the vibration of the strings, which is amplified by the
    body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical guitar is often played
    as a solo instrument using a comprehensive fingerpicking technique.

    Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, rely on an amplifier that can electronically
    manipulate tone. Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body, but a solid body was found
    more suitable. Electric guitars have had a continuing profound influence on popular culture .
    Guitars are recognized as a primary instrument in genres such
    as blues, bluegrass, country, flamenco, jazz, jota, mariachi, reggae, rock, soul, and many
    forms of pop.

    With the evolution of skateparks and ramp skating, the skateboard
    began to change. Early skate tricks had consisted mainly of two-
    dimensional maneuvers like riding on only two wheels ("wheelie" or
    "manual"), spinning only on the back wheels (a "pivot"), high jumping
    over a bar and landing on the board again, also known as a "hippie
    jump", long jumping from one board to another (often over small barrels
    or fearless teenagers) or slalom.
    In 1976, skateboarding was transformed by the invention of
    the ollie by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand. It remained largely a unique Florida trick
    until the summer of 1978, when Gelfand made his first visit to California.
    Gelfand and his revolutionary maneuvers caught the attention of the
    West Coast skaters and the media where it began to spread worldwide.
    The ollie was adapted to flat ground by Rodney Mullen in 1982. Mullen
    also invented the "Magic Flip", which was later renamed the kickflip, as
    well many other tricks including, the 360 Kickflip, which is a 360
    pop shove it and a kickflip in the same motion. The flat ground ollie
    allowed skateboarders to perform tricks in mid-air without any more
    equipment than the skateboard itself, it has formed the basis of many
    street skating tricks.
