Cricket was a children’s play in the south-east of England during the Middle Ages. It is now played throughout the world, particularly in Australia, India, Pakistan, the West Indies, and the British Isles. It is played by two teams of eleven players each with a bat and a ball on a cricket field. The field is oval with a rectangular area in the middle, known as the pitch, which is 20.12 metres by 3.04 metres wide. The main objective of each team is to score more runs than their opponents but, in some forms of cricket, it is also necessary to dismiss all of the opposition batters in their final innings in order to win the match.

Synchronised swimming or artistic swimming is a sport where swimmers perform a choreography in the water accompanied by music. A group of swimmers consist a minimum of 4 swimmers and a maximum of 10. They are synchronised both to each other and to the music. The performance is scored on a scale of 100, with points for execution, artistic impression and difficulty. It is traditionally a women’s sport. The first recorded competition was in 1891 in Berlin, Germany. It became an official Olympic sport in the 1984 Summer Olympic Games.
