2. a. Read about the three famous sports. Match the names from ex. 1a with the descriptions.

Ⓐ It is a game. It is played with a bat and a ball on a grassy field. It is played by teams of 11 players each. A coin is tossed by the team captains (who are also players) just before the match starts: the winner decides who bats first. The teams take their turns to bat and to score runs. Each team tries to score more runs than its opponent. A match is divided into periods which are known as innings. It is decided before the match whether the teams will have one innings or two innings each. Cricket clothes are known as cricket whites. Helmets and gloves are also used.
The game is most popular in Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Southern Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Dominica, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Bangladesh.

Ⓑ This game is played with a bat and a ball. It is played by two teams of nine players each. The players take turns to bat (and baserun) and to field (and pitch).
Each team tries to score more runs than the opponents. The ball is thrown by a pitcher with a bat and a player of this team tries to run around four bases: first, second, third and home plate. A run is scored when the player runs around the bases safely and returns “home”. The team of the opponents tries not to let the other team score a run. There are nine innings and the team with the greater number of runs at the end of the game wins.
The following equipment is used in this game: the ball, the bat and the glove or mitt.
The game is mostly played in the US and Canada, but it is also popular in Latin America, Europe and other countries like Japan, for example.

Ⓒ This game is played by two teams, each of four players. The teams take turns to slide heavy granite stones across the ice to the house which is marked on the ice. The ice may be natural or frozen. Each team has eight stones of 17–20 kilos. Each stone has got a handle in the colours of the team. The broom or brush is used for sweeping ice and balancing the stone. Two sweepers with brooms help the curler to move the stone. The shoes for the game are different for each foot. Gloves and mittens are worn to keep the hands warm and make it easier to hold the broom. Points are scored for the stones coming closest to the centre of the house. The game is made of eight or ten ends. Each end is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. The game is not easy to play: a lot of teamwork is needed; that is why it is called “chess on ice”. This sport was first played in Scotland in the 16^th century. Today the game is played in Canada, where it was brought by the Scottish emigrants, all over Europe, in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China and Korea.
