Cricket is  very interesting outdoor game. I am very fond of playing cricket. I am fond of watching a really good match. The other day. I went to see a very fine match match between the our college and ABC College. The match was to be played on our college ground. It is lush green with beautiful boundary.

It was a fine day. A large number of people had gathered to witness the cricket match in the college stadium. The captain of the our team won the toss and elected to bat, and the other team took the field.

Players of both teams were very smart, active and energetic. Their athletic bodies reflected the hard-work they had done in gymnasium and on the ground. Our team was dressed in blue while they were in yellow. White ball was used for the first time in the history of local cricket.

The two batsman who went in first were quite good players. One was a good hitter, and punished the ball and all over the field whenever he got it. The other was very careful, and most of the time simply blocked. He did not care for runs, The bowling was strong, and the boy who played a steady game was not able to score at single run for the first fifteen minutes, but the other was securing them rapidly, But he soon paid for it: he was caught out smartly at mid off.

The next four players were dismissed very quickly two bowled.one caught out and one out leg-before wickets. All of us thought that out team would soon be all out. The score stood at fifty. However, the captain made a stand and, with the help of the steady boy who kept in with his blocking, was able to pull up the score to a hundred. The captain played very cautiously but before he could make some more runs, he was run out. The whole team were out for 128 runs.

We felt that our team would lose the match, but the other team did not have such an easy time as we expected. Our team had two very good bowlers one very fast, and the other spinner, and they gave their opponents a very tough time.

The other team made rather a poor start. Their first wicket fell in about ten minutes. when the score was only ten. However, their captain cheered them up made a great stand when he was caught out at 70. Then their wickets began to fall quickly. The game seemed to point to a defeat for the other team. But when their ninth and tenth player came to bat, their hopes revived. they hit and drove one of the fast scores reached a hundred. At the last one fine catch sent one of the fast scorer off the field. But the last man was a daring batsman whose two hits won applause from the crowd. They had now only thirteen runs to make to win the match. They struggle for runs, and great was the joy of the other team when the score stood and 115. But as ill luck would have it. one slow ball tempted the player to hit a six but he was clean bowled.The other team loss the match by five runs only. The spectators gave us standing ovation. Our college flags were fluttering everywhere while we sang and danced.

To conclude, sports are healthy activity to create a healthy society. They are an expression of players' stamina, athleticism, sportsman spirit and self control. Besides, sports are great fun for players as well as spectators. This match was an evidence of such ideals!
