The Sport of Gentlemen

 

My favourite sport is cricket. Today it is the most popular game in Sri Lanka. It is also the most loved sport in the West. I like cricket due to many reasons. When we play cricket we spend a lot of time in the open air. This is extremely good for our health. We get a lot of exercises when we play cricket. We need exercise for the healthy growth of the body.

Sports are useful in various ways. Through sports we learn to accept both victory and defeat alike. This makes us responsible citizens. Cricket also teaches us many good moral values. Cricket keeps the young ones away from loitering; drug taking and watching bad films. This helps to build a good society.
