World Cup of Cricket final comes down to the final ball
Cricket isn't a sport many of us know here, but it's hugely popular in many (formerly British) countries. This weekend, the World Cup of Cricket wrapped up with a match between England and New Zealand. The match was spectacular, going down to the final ball of overtime. Have a look:
(Note: a couple quick terms. An "Over" is a series of six balls pitched to a player. Cricket teams get a series of overs to score as many runs as possible before the other team gets a chance to bat. A ball that rolls to the wall counts for 4; a ball that goes out of the park counts for 6. You don't want the other team to catch it, you don't want to hit the wicket, and you don't want the bowled ball to hit the wicket.)
