SPORTS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Football, basketball and tennis may be our favourite games, but in other countries, different sports are just as popular as these games. Here are a few of them:
Cricket
It’s popular in England, the West Indies and India. It looks like baseball but some rules are completely different to baseball: you need a bat to hit the ball. For cricket, there are two teams with 11 players on each side. There are two types of cricket: Test cricket and One Day cricket. Test Cricket can last for five days and it is hard to play. That’s why One Day cricket is the most popular one.
Foot Tennis
This game is popular in Malaysia. People play it between two teams of two players each. They use a ball about the size of a football. Players pass the ball by using only their feet and knees. Each time the ball drops, the other team gets a point.
Rugby
Rugby is a popular sport in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, France and South Africa. There are two teams in rugby and each team has 15 players. The rugby ball looks like an American football. You must be strong and fast to play this game. Rugby can be dangerous because players don’t have special equipment. They just wear shorts and a t-shirt
