A community portal about Cricket with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Cricket is a bat and ball sport, played between two teams each of eleven players. A cricket match is played on a grass field, in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 20.12 m long, called a pitch. At each end of the pitch is a set of wooden stumps, called a wicket. A player from the fielding team propels a hard, fist-sized cork-centred leather ball from one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching a player from the opposing team, who defends the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat. The batsman, if he or she does not get out, may then run between the wickets, exchanging ends with another batsman, who has been standing in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket, to score runs. The other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.

Preity didn’t care astrologer warnings


Preity Zinta, who has now turned into a businesswoman, says she invested in the Indian Premier League in spite of warnings from an astrologer friend. “In spite of the warning from my astrologer friend, I went for the deal as I had a gut feeling that it is the future. I told my friend that if it doesn't work for me then I would become the 50th wife of the Sultan of Brunei,” said Preity, who co-owns the IPL Mohali team. “My team performed well and I am happy with all the team members and will continue my support for the team,” she added. As far as book balancing was concerned, she said this had not been a profitable year but was optimistic they would do better next time. Now that IPL is over, Preity is concentrating on her films and the 'Unforgettable' world tour with the Bachchans starting July 18. She will be touring the US, Britain and Canada with Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya. 'I am very excited to go with them as Abhishek and Ash are my great friends. Besides, the participation of guest stars like Akshay Kumar, who is joining us in Canada, Madhuri (Dixit) in the US and Shilpa Shetty in London, will add to the excitement,”she said. 'This is the first time when we will be joined by performers from different parts. The audiences will be huge and we are expecting an overwhelming response,' added Preity Zinta.
