A Sport You May Not Know About...

There are many sports that practically everyone knows about. There are sports such as basketball, baseball, and football. However, there is one sport you may not know about. This sport is cricket. Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport that actually originated in Southern England. A cricket match consists of two teams, usually eleven players each. It is played on a grass field and in the center there is a 22 yard flat strip of ground called the pitch. The wicket, which is made of wood, is at the end of the pitch and is used as a target. Today, it is actually played in over 100 countries around the world.

2009 NBA All Star Game

An All Star Game is made up of the best players from the east and west. Those who compete in this game are considered the most popular by fans. At times, there is some controversy on who is selected to play in this eventful game. For example, David West got selected as an All Star over many other players. One player, Carmelo Anthony, who has been selected fot the past two seasons was not selected for this year's All Star Game. As a fan of the NBA, I believe it was a good decision. What do you think?

Ward Does Not Give Up

Hines Ward practiced on Thursday despite a terrible MCL Sprain. According to Coach Mike, Ward looked "awesome" at practice. Ward is also expected to be playing on Sunday night. These actions show a lot about Ward. It shows how he has a passion for this sport and an injury is not something to give up for. I feel the same way about basketball. I have a passion to play it, and nothing will stop me from practicing. Do you feel like this about a certain sport or hobby? Explain.
