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.
April, June and November;
February has twenty-eight alone.
All the rest have thirty-one,
But leap year coming once in four
Gives February one day more.

About WeatherIf bees stay at home,
Rain will soon come;
If they fly away,
Fine will be the day.
* * *Evening red and morning grey,
Send the traveller on his way;
Evening grey and morning red,
Bring the rain upon his head.

Rain will never come to pass.
A sunshiny shower
Won't last half an hour.
