Cricket match

Now we are going to something we have looked forward too for a while. The cricket match between two of the best teams in the whole world, the national teams from Pakistan and India. A very interesting game, but first some facts about cricket. Cricket is the national sport in India, just like skiing is the national sport in Norway. The national team to India won the 2011 Cricket World Cup and they’re one of the best cricket nations in the whole world. We think the point of the game is a bit silly, because you score points out of running a lap. We bet the Indians share our sight when it’s coming to football, when 22 players try to get the ball in the back of the net.

              And now over to the best thing with this, the game. Pakistan and India are one of the biggest nations in this sport and we were really excited. We had ordered tickets early so we some pretty nice spots, in the middle of one of the long sides. The game was absolutely breath taking match. The Indians went up to the lead and kept the lead through the whole match. The match was great, but something that we think was even greater was the atmosphere and the people on the stadium. Today we really got a view over the Indian people, in the normal life because they doesn’t care what tourists thinks about them on a match, something which was really special. We’ll recommend this also for everybody that are just a bit interested in sports and are travelling to India.
