Rowing
Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other on rivers, or lakes or in the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water. There are different kinds of races, for example side by side, also called regatta, all the boats start at the same time from a stational position and the winner is the boat that crosses the finish line first. Another example is Head races where the boats begin with a rolling start at intervals of 10-20 seconds. The rules are different depending on the kind of race.

Cricket
It is a bat and ball game played between two teams of 11 players, on an oval shaped fiel, in which there is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch.
Rules: One team bats trying to score more runs as possible and the other team tries to catch the ball and stop the scorer of the other team.
Objective: The objective is to score more runs than the other team. A "RUN" is scored when the batsman has run the legth of the grassy pitch after hitting the ball.
Our opinion: We wouldn't like to play it because it's very dangerous.
