Hi!

How are you? Today is the Cricket Competition in my school. My favourite sport is cricket. I love playing cricket with my classmates.

Cricket is an English sport. We play with a bat and a red or white ball. Each team has got 11 players. We play on an oval field. Cricket is a popular sport in England, Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa...

What about you? Do you play any traditional Galician sport or game?

Bye!
