Cricket is my Favorite Sport.

My favorite sport is cricket. In this game, both the teams have 11,11 players. There is a toss at the beginning. The team that wins the toss bats and the other team ball. This is a game that is usually played and people are usually familiar with it.

I have loved cricket since childhood. I remember as a child we all used to collect a little bit of money and bring a cricket ball. That was plastic ball because we didn't have the money to buy rubber ball. We used a piece of wood instead of a bat. Then when we got a little older and we started accumulating some money, we started buying rubber ball.

I remember we used to put tape on this rubber ball, which increased the speed of this ball. We used to play six overs matches at that time. Our friends were so fond of playing cricket that in the summer season it would get up early in the morning and all of us friends would reach the ground outside the school before the school opened and in the morning cricket matches would be played even before the school opened.

After that we used to play cricket during break time. We used to play cricket tournaments on weekends. There used to be double wicket tournaments in our area with a small fee and these tournaments would end in two days. There were also sports competitions in our schools. I used to participate in cricket competitions. But in these competitions the cricket ball was not rubber ball but hard ball. So, I had to practice with hard ball before these competitions.

I used to take part in cricket competitions even when I was in college. In college I played up to division level competitions. I still love playing cricket but I don't have time to play cricket anymore. Sometimes I go to play with friends but now it is not as good as it used to be in school and college. But I still watch cricket regularly whenever there is a World Cup or a major series. Thank you so much for reading this post written on My Favorite Sport.
