Cricket

Cricket is a ball game in which points are scored by back and forth to run over the cricket pitch (a run). It is a team sport in which to turn one team first throws (bowling) and the other team beats (batting). Depending on the kind of contest one plays to an agreed number of overs or wickets. If both teams have beaten and bowled is the team with the most runs the winner.

Cricket is mainly popular in the countries of the British Commonwealth. It is the world's most popular sport after football, mainly due to the many fans on the Indian Subcontinent. [2]  [3]  [4]

The International Cricket Council is the international cricket Association.

The cricket groundIn the middle of the field there is no grass, or very short grass in a rectangle. That zone is called the pitch. The size of the pitch is 20.12 at 3,05 meters. On the short sides of the pitch are knee high wooden structures, which are called wickets . The whole of wickets and pitch is called the wicket . Most of the game takes place on and near the wicket off. The wickets are made up of three upright poles that have been taken with such a gap in a row that the ball is not listed by can. The Poles are called stumps.The tops of the stumps to be bridged by two small logs which are called bails . The resulting construction is so unstable that the bails with a slight touch of the wicket fall to the ground.

They indicate where the batter has access he does not want to be gestumped (see below), where the bowler must throw the ball and between which needs to be run to make runs. ===The course of the game<span class="mw-editsection" len="329" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === The cricket bat (left the convex back, getting started right side<p lang="en" len="63" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A professional cricket competition is similar to the following:

In most games, each team has one at bat. Each inning lasts until 10 of the 11 batters ("batsman") from his gebowlde, or the maximum number of balls is achieved. A group of six correct about gebowlde balls is a.

In the important one day races ("one day matches") gets every team a at bat 50 overs (so 300 balls). At the increasingly popular Twenty20form, that some different rules, it's going to be 20 overs.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The game has two arbitrators (umpires), one of them takes behind one of the wickets (on the side where is bowled). The other keeps from the side the second wicket in the eye.The team captains toss to be allowed to decide if they go first batten or bowling. The toss is experienced as very important in cricket, because the whole game play depends on it.Since the introduction of tv cameras around the field, drawn up on the fixed locations, there is a third referee who, at its request, on the basis of tv images takes a decision.
 * 10 out of 11 batters are disabled or
 * the number of overs has been played or agreed
 * as the battle team decides their at bat to shut down prematurely ("Declaration").

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Red cricketbal is often used during daylight matches. Many night games (usually Twenty20 matches) are white balls used for better visibility in artificial light. The team that is to bat first, the battle party, sends two players on the field who will strike first. They form the first partnership of the match. They both have a bat: bat (usually made from Willow) and have the necessary body protection against the hard ball that is bowled to them.

The Red cricketbal as used in competitions at all levels<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The team that first fielding and bowling, set all 11 men on the field. One of them is the wicket keeper, he is the only member of the bowling team that wears gloves and leggings.This is because he puts just behind the batsman to bat that is, just like the catcher in baseball. He has a gebowlde, work as a specialist because he must catch the ball if that the batter passes or at edges (where the ball touches an edge of only bat and thus fly anyway). He is also usually the player responsible for stumpen .

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Another player of the bowling team is the bowler. The bowler throws the ball to the guy who is the batter. The bowler throws 6 times (correct) direction batter, this series of 6 is called an "about". After a about changes one of side where one throws and should indicate a new bowler the bowling team. After someone else has bowled, one can again bowling. A team has so several bowlers, also one has different types of bowlers (fast and spin bowlers). In a team are usually 4 to 5 good bowlers in house, which alternate depending on the tactics, the opponent and the hardness of the pitch. An "about" can sometimes count more than six balls. This happens when the bowler has thrown a bad ball, namely a 'no-ball' or a 'wide'. In both cases, the team gets to battle an extra run and the ball must be thrown again.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The task of the hitters is to get as many runs as possible to score. They do this to save and the ball to each other's wicket to run. Then they have one run, they can stop walking or crossing again the car to two or more runs to score. If the ball is struck so that those on the ground rolls out the playing field, then the batter scores 4 runs (a boundary four).He hits the ball in a way that those from the field to hit the ground flies without than be awarded 6 runs. Consequently, if an odd number of runs both batsmen walk, the other batter comes to bat. At the end of the over, this is opposite, because the field than changes comes the other hitter to bat at an even number of runs.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A batter may as long as save as he wants as long as he's not reaches out (out), not the overs on his or the match has already been won. A batsman can go in different ways:

English ' batsman '<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A batsman is out if he either after a ground-only error itself leaves the field, either the umpire to make a decision after the field team asks. Such a request is called an appeal and can be done by any field player to the umpire by the question: "How's That?" ("What do you think of that?".) This is often the case when a LBW as this is a difficult rule and the interpretation of the umpire is great (would the ball hit the wicket or not) will be a batsman always remain quiet while the defending team loud to dismiss goes screaming with the more typical scream: Howzat!!.
 * 1) caught (catch): a batter is out if the ball which he destroys, for which touches the ground, caught by a fielder (most common)
 * 2) thrown out (bowled): the bowler throws the batter out by throwing the ball against the wickets to (common)
 * 3) ball touching (handled the ball): a batter may not intentionally touch the ball with the hands in order to avoid the ball the wicket would touch (rarely common)
 * 4) overrun (run out): a player who is not on time "in" is (over the white line for his wicket) at the time the wicket where he leads is tossed up. (in short match formulas common)
 * 5) gestumped: a batter who steps out of his crease or to save and the ball missing can be gestumped by the wicket keeper catches the ball and the wicket directly if that upset.
 * 6) lbw: ' leg before wicket '.
 * 7) Save twice (hit the ball twice): a batter should not save twice, he may use his bat or foot to the ball to stop to avoid hitting the wicket. (not yet happened at international level)
 * 8) hit (hit wicket) wicket: a batter that are touch and drop the bails from the wicket. This rule does not apply if this happens because he wegspringt for a ball coming on his body or to prevent he led is
 * 9) too late on the field come (timed out): a new batter has three minutes to get on the field (not yet happened at international level)
 * 10) Obstruction: a batter may try to catch a ball that a field player or a run-out trying to ensure not aware bother.
 * 11) Retired out: a batter can voluntarily choose to stop. The next batter will then take place on.

This is a result of the law that an umpire only after an appeal a decision. When an umpire an appeal honours, he does that by raising his index finger. When he finds that the player is not only loud and clear from, he says: "not out" and can shake his head.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">If a batsman is out, he will be replaced by a team mate. If 10 of the 11 batsmen are out, is the at bat last (the last remaining batsman has no partner to more runs to run). The team that bowled first now comes to battle to try the total scored runs of the first team to battle, to improve.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The contest ends as well as the second team has finished his inning, or when the second team has scored more runs than the first team. The contest ends at Twenty20also if there are 20 overs are bowled. ==History<span class="mw-editsection" len="326" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===The history of cricket<span class="mw-editsection" len="345" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Although playing with ball and bat were known already in the middle ages, and no doubt are older, keep British historians, the sport originated in the South-East of England around 1600.
