Howzat?!. We don't like cricket, oh no... we love it!
This cricket-themed installation, which also features metal fielders and even an umpire, is called 'The Spirit of Yorkshire' and can be found at Yorkshire Lavender, a 60-acre hillside farm just outside the village of Terrington in England. As the most successful county in English cricket history, Yorkshire is a fitting venue.Today is the first of India’s games in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, the 12th edition of the 50-over tournament which takes place every four years. This summer's event is being held at 11 grounds across England and Wales. Australia are the current holders and most successful side having won the competition five times since its inception in 1975. England have never lifted the trophy, but currently top the rankings and are considered favourites to win the World Cup on home soil. India has won the cup twice – 1983 and 2011. Can the Indian team do it again this year?
