Lets mention few things about the game. Cricket is the world's second most popular sport. In a cricket game players are split between two sides of eleven players each side on a cricket field. The rules of Cricket do not say anything specific about the width or length or shape of the cricket field. Most of the action is happening in a center that is known as the pitch. A run is scored when the batsman has run the length of the pitch after hitting the ball with his bat. If the batsmen are not trying to score more runs, the ball is called dead and will be returned to the bowler who will bowl it again. In professional matches, there are 15 people on the field. The objective of each team is to score more runs than the other team and to completely dismiss them.

The game Cricket has a long history and is first mentioned in the 16th century. Cricket originated in England and in it's early beginnings was a children game. It was played by the children in the clearings in the woods. Only later at the beginning of the 17th century the adults started to participate and that is when all started to shape up. Half a century later the international matches took place and today cricket is played professionally in most of the Commonwealth countries around the World.

The cricket Games were always very popular in Commonwealth countries. The rich aristocrats in 18th and 19th century placed huge bets on their favorite teams and even made their own teams to ensure the bet would pay out for them. Betting was as widely spread in those days as it is today. In some strange way, we may even be grateful to those gamblers who helped the development of the sport by helping themselves get richer. Today we get to enjoy the great game of Cricket in all its beauty and we have bored children and notorious gamblers to thank for that. :)
