During my stay in Spain,

During my stay in Spain, a comment I've often heard about British culture is this: What the hell is cricket? If you consult it in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy you will find the following definition: "Ball game that is practiced with wooden pallets". Meanwhile, in his book Education of Leisure and Free Time with Alternative Physical Activities, Manuel Martínez Gámez Mara gives us a little more detail: "Cricket is a sport of English origin, which is played outdoors between two teams of eleven players / as, with bats, balls and rakes ".
It has become clear…? Do not? The fact is that summarizing the fundamentals of the game is almost impossible without writing a minitose.here is WHAT`S NEW IN PSL 2018 AND NEW PLAYERS IN PESHAWAR ZALMI 2018. And perhaps that is why the famous British lexicographer, Samuel Johnson, did not include a definition of cricket in his first dictionary of the English language, which was published in 1755 - more than a decade after the first official regulations of the game were established in London .
In 1871, the journalist and cricket aficionado Frederick Gale tried to rectify the absence of the word in Johnson's dictionary, imagining a conversation between him and his biographer, James Boswell, in which together they would define this sport as: "A game that it requires patience and mental control and that involves some danger, so courage is also required. " According to Gale, cricket represented the values ​​of courage, strength and perseverance.

Two intrepid cricket teams played today the "highest" game in the world on a slope of Mount Everest, at 5,168 meters altitude, a feat with which they have sneaked into the books of records. Players, technicians, medical professionals and spectators made the expedition to the Himalayas to surpass the record in a ground sport played at the highest possible altitude. To celebrate the curious encounter, a group of about 50 people previously made a hiking route for nine days until reaching the chosen site, at 5,168 meters high, just above the Everest base camp. Some locals helped to condition the playing field, moving stones and rocks, for both teams, named Hillary, the winner, and Tenzing. The captain of the Hillary, the Londoner Glen Lowis, who normally is dedicated to marketing, described the expedition as one of the "most memorable experiences" of his life.
