Cricket

When we first arrived at Trinity College, we looked down upon the pitch, and lo and behold, a cricket match was going on. We had no idea what we were watching, so we found a seat, looked up Cricket rules, and familiarized ourselves with it. This game has no physical contact - or little anyway - and lots of pitching and hitting. It appears to us that only the pitcher really gets much exercise. The fielders run a bit, and the batters run a bit, but the pitcher's arm must last a long time. We hear that games can last for days, which would be very boring. And the game is not the most action-packed thing in the world, but it is very popular in India and at Trinity College.
