My favorite sport is cricket. It is the most popular sport in sri lanka today. I like to play cricket everyday.
We play cricket in the open air. It is very good for our health. Exercises are needed for the development of our body. We geta iot of exercises when playing cricket.
We have a cricket team in our school. Nimali is the captain of our team. She is very clever. I too want to practice hard and play for my school.
Cricket is a team game. It teaches us many good moral values. It teaches us to accept both victory and defeat alike. It also teaches us to work collectively. It is not so easy to win a cricket match. All players have to do their parts well. Cricketers spend hours and hours under the not sun to bring fame to their country.
Both the young and the old like to watch cricket matches. That is why all gather around T.V. sets on days that there are cricket matches. Cricket pares the way to young ones to spend their leisure happily. It also keeps them away from evils such as loitering here and there taking drugs and watching bad films.
Sri Lankan cricket team is world famous. My favorite cricket is Sanath Jayasooriya the sri lankan team.
