Cricket game review

Hardball cricket is my favourite sport/game to play and watch so I decided to do a game review about.

 Hardball Cricket is a game played with two teams. One team is fielding, which includes bowling and wicketkeeping. Common fielding positions are Long Off, Mid Off, Cover and Short Cover, too name a few. 

The other team bats which begins with two players, with two wickets at each end of the pitch. One side is where the batsmen and the wicketkeeper are and the other is where the bowler and off batsmen are. If the bowler bowls the batsmen out, by hitting the wickets or catching the ball on the full, the batsmen departs from the crease and another batsmen comes in. 

The main objective is to make the most runs you can in a set amount of overs. (An ODI has 50 each, while a T20 has 20 overs each.) Test cricket is played until the whole team is bowled out. 

At Year 8 primary school grade we only play 50 or 30 overs each, but in ALL formats if the team is completely bowled out the game is won or the next team comes to the crease. 

Three skills you could get from this game are hand-eye coordination, teamwork and encouraging others. 

I love cricket because it is competitive and challenging and I love batting and fast bowling. I also enjoy watching a good game of T20, ODI or test, but test is probably my favourite because it goes for ages and I am more of a traditional batsmen

I would rate cricket 5/5 and I would recommend playing it.
