Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, “bowls” (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side has one player at each end of the pitch, with the player at the opposite end of the pitch from the bowler aiming to strike the ball with a bat. The batting side scores runs when either the bowler unfairly bowls the ball to either side of the wicket (unfairly throwing the ball is called a “wide”), or alternatively when the ball reaches the boundary of the field. The fielding side’s aim is to prevent run-scoring and dismiss each player (so they are “out”, and are said to have “lost their wicket”). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the wicket and dislodges the bails, being caught, when a fielder catches the ball after it has been hit by the bat, being run out, when the fielder hits the wicket with the ball before the batter reaches the crease at the opposite end of the pitch, and stumped, when the wicket-keeper hits the wicket with the ball before the batter reaches the crease.

Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice skates between two teams of skaters who use sticks to control a flat puck into the other team’s goal. The game is played on a rectangular ice rink with a goal at each end. The team that scores more goals by the end of the game wins.
