cricket
Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of eleven players on a field with a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch in the centre and a wicket at each end, each with two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting team scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding teams try to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Dismissal methods include being bowled, when the ball strikes the stumps and dislodges the bails, and the fielding side collecting the ball after it has been struck.The bowling and fielding sides attempt to prevent this (by keeping the ball from leaving the field and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Being bowled, when the ball strikes the stumps and dislodges the bails, and the fielding side either collecting the ball after it is struck by the bat but before it touches the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket, are all methods of dismissal. The innings finishes when ten batters are struck out, and the teams switch roles. They connect with two off-field scorers who record statistical data from the game.A game with a ball and bat played by two sides of usually 11 players each on a vast field with two wickets each guarded by a batsman. Fair and honourable behaviour. It was not fair for her to breach her contract. The sport of cricket has a known history beginning in the late 16th century England.... Cricket is the second most interesting game to the world!
