Cricket is a popular, weapon-based, spectator sport, religiously played by all Commonwealth countries. Originally, Cricket was devised as a way for India to compete for their independence from Britain, when a certain Bhuvan became the first indian bookee having bet all his village taxes on a cricket match. Since that historic, first-ever test match, all the Commonwealth countries have gone on to win their way to independence (most on multiple occasions), the most recent being Australia, who reclaimed their country in the 2006-07 Ashes after a brief spell under British rule following the 2005 Ashes.
Both India and Australia are now free from British Rule, though the influence of cricket is now felt all over the world by all major nations.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field, roughly oval in shape, in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a cricket pitch. A wicket, usually made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch.
The bowler, a player from the fielding team, hurls a hard, fist-sized cricket ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching the batsman, a player from the opposing team. In defence of the wicket, the batsman plays the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman—if he or she does not get out—may run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each completed exchange of ends scores one run. Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.
