El críquet se practica en todo el Reino Unido y los países de la Commonwealth, aunque se considera un juego típicamente inglés. Se juega sobre todo en verano al aire libre, sobre hierba y se puede reconocer inmediatamente porque todos los jugadores van vestidos de blanco. Tiene unas reglas un tanto complejas: hay dos equipos de 11 jugadores. En el primer equipo todos los jugadores batean por turnos, mientras que en el otro equipo hay un boleador (bowler) y diez fildeadores (fielders) en puntos estratégicos del campo. El boleador lanza la pelota al bateador (batsman). Éste intenta a su vez lanzarla lo más lejos posible y así tener tiempo para correr de un poste (wicket) a otro y conseguir puntos, llamados por ello (runs). Los fildeadores del equipo contrario intentan atrapar la pelota lanzada por el bateador para evitar que consiga más puntos. Si atrapan la pelota en el aire o si dan en el wicket con ella, el bateador es eliminado. Cuando todos los bateadores del primer equipo han sido eliminados, se cambian los papeles. Un partido puede durar varios días seguidos.
