Cricket V/S Hockey

Cricket is a game wherein two gatherings of 11 alternate batting and gathering runs, though the other group bowls and fields the ball to hold the rival back from making runs. Batting and handling are switched back and forth between the two groups. Then again, Hockey is a game wherein two groups of 11 players contend to strike a little, firm ball into their resistance net with sticks that are twisted at the hitting end. It's normally called field hockey to separate it from ice hockey, which is a practically identical game.

Cricket is England's true mid-year game, and it is at present famous across Australia, the West Indies, the British Isles, India, and so on. Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport in which two groups of 11 individuals contend with one another. Hockey is a sort of attacking game wherein two groups of eleven individuals contend with each other. The goal for each group is to get a little, robust hockey ball into the rival group's net.
