Out for a walk
I took a short walk this morning. It was 11:30 AM here in Bangalore but it was only 2:00AM in Pittsburgh (more dojo points to the first person to comment the correct diffence between time zones). On my walk I passed a few cows, watched a gentlman press sugar cane into a juice, and learned a little bit about the game of cricket. I didn't get any pictures of the cows but you can see the batting cages below that are used for cricket practice. Luckily, most people here in India speak two languages, Hindi and English, so communication has very easy. Did you know that cricket is the worlds second most popular sport? This is why talking with people who live differently than you is so much fun, because you are always learning something new! Has anyone at Propel Montour ever played cricket?

Mrs. Scholar has tried to hit with a cricket bat but never played an actual game. Do they run bases like in baseball?
ReplyDeleteYes! They do run bases in cricket. The sport is a lot like baseball except the field is bigger, there are more players and equiptment looks different. The biggest difference is that the ball, which is made from cork, is made to be bounced toward the batter who uses a flat bat pointed toward the ground to hit it.
DeleteMrs. Dunn's class thinks that where you are in India is 9 and a half hours ahead of us here in Pittsburgh.
