Cricket Rules

On Friday I didn’t go to school because the West Indies cricket team was playing England and we were never going to a cricket game in Canada so we decided to go.
 
Seeing as this was our first time watching cricket we knew very little about the game (and rules). Our plan was to take someone who knew how cricket is played, but no one was around.
 
When we got to the stadium the cricket game had been going on for 3 and a half hours (it starts at 10 o’clock). The game is pretty self-explanatory and we got the hang of what was going on (with a little help from the people around us). Once we started to understand what was going on the game was alot more exciting and we stayed until around 5 o’clock.
 
I had a really good time and learned a new sport. Sadly England won by nine wickets (don’t really know what that means).
