Cricket is a popular summer sport in Britain. There are many cricket clubs in the country. Cricket (1) players wear a certain uniform — white boots, a white T-shirt and white trousers. One cricket (2) game takes a terribly long time. There are two teams of 11 (3) players each and test matches between national teams can last up to 5 days. The spectators have to be very patient. The game is played on a pitch with a wicket at each end. The (4) rules of the game have changed over the years. It is a game which is associated with long sunny summer afternoons, the smell of new-mown grass and the sound of leather (5) ball beating the willow cricket bat. Cricket is more popular among men, but it is also played by women and girls.
