Physical Education
For physical education this quarter, we have been learning plenty of sports. There are three major sports which were basketball, soccer and softball. However, the sport which is played the most is basketball, it is also my favorite sport. Out of all of the sports, I have most trouble with soccer I guess because since I left the soccer team and joined the basketball tea, the usage of my feet have been reduced. Which is the main reason of why I am not that good in soccer.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game, a sport played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. It is similar to baseball. When one team bats, they will try to score as many runs as possible while the defending team will try to prevent the batter to be able to run the runs. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the c rease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an inning.
The history of cricket goes back to the Tudor times in the early England during the 16th century. Early cricket was also called as “a club striking a ball” type of sport. There was no evidence of who found the sport at first however that is evidence that Prince Edward played a sport similar to cricket, followed along by his son Edward I. The correct pronounciation for cricket is creckett and the earliest definite reference to the sport is in 1598.
The difference between cricket and baseball is that the field in cricket is much smaller, rather then baseball which uses most of the field. The field in cricket is only a rectangle while a baseball field almost fills the whole stadium. Also, the bat used by cricket is slightly wider then the one in baseball. The rules of cricket is also very different, very far.
Rules:
Cricket is a game played between two teams made up of eleven players each. Each team has a reserved player as the twelve player in case there is a injured player.
The twelfth man is not allowed to bowl, bat, or captain the team. His essential duty is to act as a substitute fielder. If the player who was injured is recovered while the match is still active, the player can return to the match at anytime.
There should only be two umpires or refrees in the match so they can keep the game going correctly. Umpires are responsible for making decisions and notifying the scorers of these decisions.
While two umpires are on the field, there will also be the third umpire that is responsible with the video. This is important because if the two umpires can’t make a decision, the third umpire who has the video can see the result in slow motion.
The tournament for cricket is called “Ashes T20 World Cup” which is basically the world cup for cricket. Besides that there is also the Ashes Series. Countries that are involved are more to the Asian countries like India, Pakistan and others. Not to mention England and Australia, they also participate. Cricket now has became a sport that one can make a living of.

Reflection
For this task, I could say that I have done well because I researched completely about cricket. I explained the history of the sport, what the sport actually is, the rules and some famous cricket players. Not only that, I also have inserted the MLA reference. However, there is actually one improvement which I could have improved which was to give a more detailed explanation in the regulations. If I did that more clearly, it would have been easier for the reader to understand. The IB learner profile which I learn is becoming a principled person because during the essay writing, I could have just made up information about the rules of cricket just to make my essay look longer. However I didn't because I wanted to do it fairly.
