M：Hello，Jacqueline．Have you ever played Cricket?
W：NO，never．Have you，Mark?
M：NO，but l once watched a game at the Cricket club．
W：Did you enjoy it?
M：NO，not much，though everybody else seemed to．I found it very slow．Nothing much seemed to happen．Perhaps that was because l didn’t reany understand What was going on．
W：It’s a bit like baseball，isn’t it?
M：Well，not really．In baseball，there is only one man with a bat but in Cricket there are two．
W：Both at the same time?   
M：NO．They take turns．They each stand at one end of the pitch in front of some sticks called“stumps”or the “wicket”． A member of the other team，the “bowler”，throws the ball at the  stumps．The batsman tries to protect the wicket and hit the ball as far as he can．
W：What happens when he hits the ball?
M：The batsmen run to Change positions．That’s called a“run”．They do it as many times as they Can．
W: What does the other team do?
M: One of them runs after the ball and throws it at the wicket. If he hits it while the batsmen are still running, one of them out.
W: That sounds a little like baseball.
M: Not really. I think baseball is more exciting.
W: Yes, so do I.
