Cricket is a sport that is played by millions and loved by billions of people from all corners of the globe. Cricket has been played for centuries with the first international match occurring way back in 1844. From that time it has continued to develop into the vibrant and exciting modern game that is played today.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport that involves two teams with 11 players on each side. The aim of the game is to score more runs than the opposition. One player the bowler bowls a hard leather ball at speeds of up to 150 km/h at a player from the opposing team, who then attempts to hit it with a bat in order to score runs.
Cricket is played on an oval-shaped field and in the middle of that field is the pitch which is where most of the action takes place at either end of the pitch. You’ll find these things they’re called wickets, and they’re made up of three wooden stumps that support two bales. The batting team has two batters at a time in play whilst the fielding side has all 11 players on the field. A batter (batsman) scores runs in two ways, one they hit the ball far enough that it crosses the outer boundary of the field. If the ball has bounced, it’s worth four runs, if it clears the boundary on the full, it’s worth six, the maximum number of runs that can be scored from one ball. Runs are also scored through the two batters running the length of the pitch in opposite directions whilst the fielders are retrieving the ball. 1 length of the pitch completed equals one run.
The aim for the fielding side is to restrict the number of runs scored by the batting side whilst trying to get the batsman out. There are 11 different ways a batsman can be out with the most common being bowled. The bowler bowls the ball, the batsman misses it or deflects it by accident, it hits the stumps and the bails come off. Another way is caught, where the batter hits the ball and one of the fielders catches it before it hits the ground. Also, it can be LBW (leg before wicket) when the bowler bowls the ball, the batter misses it and the ball hits them on the leg, in line with the stumps. And run out, when the batter hits the ball and runs but the fielding team retrieves the ball and throws it to the stumps before either batter has reached the other end.
When a batter’s out, they leave the field of play and another teammate replaces them. Once all the batsmen of a team are out, the fielding team then has their turn to bat and attempt to beat the overall score set by the first batting team. Simply, the winner is the team with the most runs after both sides batted.
