етняя командная игра0 in Britain. There are many cricket clubs in the country.
Cricket players wear a certain uniform (определенная форма) - white boots (белые ботинки), a white T-shirt (футболка), and white trousers (брюки).
There are two teams (две команды) and test matches can last up 5 days (один матч в крикет может длиться). One team must bat (бить битой) and the other team must field. When the first team finished batting (завершает подачу), the second team must begin. The batsman (игрок с битой) must all the time guard his "wicket" (ворота в крикете), three rather ridiculous pieces of wood which are pushed into the ground.
It is a game which is associated with long sunny summer afternoons (длинными солнечными летними днями), the smell of new-mown grass (запахом свежескошенной травы) and the sound of leather ball beating the willow cricket bat (звуком удара кожаного мяча об ивовую крикетную биту).
Cricket is more popular among men, but it is also played by women and girls.
Steeplechase. Crosscountry running
The steeplechase is known as cross country running (скачки, бег с препятствиями). The first cross country race in 1837 was at Rugby School.
Originally, crosscountry running took place (проходило) over open country (естественных условиях) where the hazards (препятствия) were the natural ones. These include hedges (изгороди), ditches (рвы), streams (ручьи) and the like. Nowadays, crosscountry races are often run in an enclosed area (на закрытой территории) where the hazards are artificial (искусственные).
