Soccer is football in England.
Cricket is played on a field similiar to baseball and the plaqyers have a bat. Two are batting in one team at a team. The other team fields and they try to hit the ball when it is bowled overarm to them with a bat with almost a flat side the bottom of which is placed on the floor. The run between two sets of wickets not sure how far apart 20feet sounds around there. the ball is hard like a hockey ball. i personally find the ghame very slow and boring but I am a woman who loves quilting.i have a friend whose grandson is aiming to be an English cricketeer in about 10years time.
