Introduction • Cricket, known as the gentlemen’s sport, is somewhat like Baseball. • Cricket can be traced back to the early 16th-century, England.
What is cricket? • Cricket is a bat and a ball game which is played between 2 teams that consist of 11 players on each team. • It is played on a circular field that has a 22-yard, rectangular pitch in the center.
How it is played • One team bats and tries to score as many runs as possible while the other team fields and bowls to try getting the batsmen out so they can limit the runs scored by the batting team.
How it is scored • A run is scored when the batsmen strikes the ball with the bat and runs to the other end of the crease. • If the ball is hit outside the circular field in the air, that’s 6 runs and when it’s hit on the ground and still crosses the boundary, that’s 4 runs. • There are four ways to get out when batting: 1) Bowled, 2) Caught, 3) LBW(Leg Before Wicket) and 4) Run out.
