Question

I Have Always wonderd how 2 play!!

Answer 1

Simple game cricket, really.

Don't let people try and complicate it for you.

Played between two teams of eleven.  One team bats, one team bowls.  At any time, there are two batters, one bowler, and ten other fielders.  

The bowling side must try to dismiss ten of the batting team's batters.  The batting side must try and score runs.  Once the batting side has been dismissed, the team that was bowling, bats and vice-versa.

The aim of the game is to score more runs than the other team.  Simple game cricket.

Answer 3

Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field, roughly oval in shape, in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a cricket pitch. A wicket, usually made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch.

The bowler, a player from the fielding team, bowls a hard, fist-sized cricket ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching the batsman, a player from the opposing team. In defence of the wicket, the batsman plays the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring runs, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman — if he or she does not get out — may run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each completed exchange of ends scores one run. Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.

Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of years and is thought to be the second most popular sport in the world (after Football (soccer)). More than 100 countries are affiliated to the International Cricket Council, cricket's international governing body. The sport's modern form originated in England, and is most popular in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. In many countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Australia, and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies, cricket is the most popular sport. It is also a major sport in England, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe . Many countries also have well-established amateur club competitions, including the Netherlands, Kenya, Nepal and Argentina.

The sport is followed with passion in many different parts of the world. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, notoriously the Basil D'Oliveira affair (which led to the banning of South Africa from sporting events) and the Bodyline Test series in the early 1930s (which led to a temporary deterioration in relations between Australia and the United Kingdom).

The aim of the batting team is to score as many runs as possible. A run is scored when both batsmen successfully move to their respective opposite ends of the pitch. (The batsmen will usually only attempt to score runs after the striker has hit the ball, but this is not required by the rules—the batsmen can attempt runs at any time after the ball has been bowled.) Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area (this scores six runs if the ball crosses the boundary without having touched the ground, or four runs otherwise), or if the bowler commits some technical infringement like bowling the ball out of reach of the batsman.[3]

The aim of the bowler's team is to get each batsman out (this is called a "taking a wicket", or a "dismissal").[4] Dismissals are achieved in a variety of ways. The most direct way is for the bowler to bowl the ball so that the batsman misses it and it hits the stumps, dislodging a bail. While the batsmen are attempting a run, the fielders may dismiss either batsman by using the ball to knock the bails off the set of stumps to which the batsman is closest before he has grounded himself or his bat in the crease. Other ways for the fielding side to dismiss a batsman include catching the ball off the bat before it touches the ground, or having the batsman adjudged "leg before wicket" (abbreviated "L.B.W." or "lbw") if the ball strikes the batsman's body and would have gone on to hit the wicket.[5] Once the batsmen are not attempting to score any more runs, the ball is "dead", and is bowled again (each attempt at bowling the ball is referred to as a "ball" or a "delivery").[6]

The game is divided into overs of six (legal) balls. At the end of an over another bowler from the fielding side bowls from the opposite end of the pitch. The two umpires also change positions between overs (the umpire previously at square-leg becomes the bowler's umpire at what is now the bowling end, and vice versa). The fielders also usually change positions between overs.

Once out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team's line-up. (The batting side can reorder their line-up at any time, but no batsman may bat twice in one innings.) The innings (singular) of the batting team ends when the tenth batsman is given out, leaving one batsman not out but without a partner. When this happens, the team is said to be "all out". (In limited overs cricket the innings ends either when the batting team is all out or a predetermined number of overs has been bowled.) At the end of an innings, the two teams exchange roles, and the side that has been fielding bats.

A team's score is reported in terms of the number of runs scored and the number of batsmen that have been dismissed. For example, if five batsmen are out and the team has scored 224 runs, they are said to have scored 224 for the loss of 5 wickets (commonly shortened to "224 for five" and written 224/5 or, in Australia, "five for 224" and 5/224).

The aim of the batting team is to score as many runs as possible. A run is scored when both batsmen successfully move to their respective opposite ends of the pitch. (The batsmen will usually only attempt to score runs after the striker has hit the ball, but this is not required by the rules—the batsmen can attempt runs at any time after the ball has been bowled.) Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area (this scores six runs if the ball crosses the boundary without having touched the ground, or four runs otherwise), or if the bowler commits some technical infringement like bowling the ball out of reach of the batsman.[3]

Answer 4

Google cricket & you can read it for yourself.

Answer 5

Google/search for cricket rules and you'll find many helpful sources.

For a start, you can check www.cricinfo.com. There's a link there that'll explain the rules.

But the best and easiest way to learn is if someone teaches u in person and u play or watch a game after that.

Answer 6

there are 3 sticks stuck in the ground ,and you have a hard leather ball witch  you throw ( bowl) at the sticks and try to knock them down , then some one has a bat   d**n I GIVE UP!!! look it up on youtube

Answer 7

Ok, there are two teams with 11 players each.

There is a toss of coin and the winning team's captain decides if they want to bat or bowl.

The team batting sends two players on to the field with bats. They stand on two ends of a cricket pitch (a long strip in the middle of the field). Both have their backs to a wicket. A wicket is three wooden rods fixed into the grounds and two smaller ones resting horizontally on top of them.

The team bowling sends all 11 players onto the field.

A few players from the bowling team are designated bowlers and they take turns to throw six balls at a time to the batsmen. One set of six balls thrown by a bowler is called an 'over'. Matches may be of twenty, fifty or ninety overs to a side.

Points are scored by the batting team in the form of 'runs.' You get a run if you can hit the ball with the bat and then run from one end of the wicket to the other.

Running between wickets also causes the batsman to be changed for facing the ball.

If you hit the ball to the boundary of the field, you get four runs. If it crosses the boundary without bouncing, its six runs.

The task of the bowlers is to get the batsmen out. A batsman is declared out if the ball is thrown by the bowler directly at the wicket or if it hits the leg of the batsman in front of the wicket.

A batsman may also be out if the ball he has hit is caught by a fielder before it bounces. (Fielders - the non bowling players of a team whose task it is to stop the ball from reaching the boundary.

The other way of getting out is that a wicket is hit by a fielder throwing the ball while the players are running on the pitch. An out is given if the player is outside of the white line in front of the wicket, called the crease.

A player sits behind the batsman's wicket and is called the wicket keeper. His job is to get the player out, catch the ball and prevent boundaries.

One side bats till all its players have been declared out. Then the other team bats. Each team's batting period is called an 'inning'.

The team that has scored the highest number of runs wins.

This might sound a bit confusing and there are lots of tiny details that I have left out. But these are the basics. Read them and watch an entire match (preferably a twenty over match because its shorter). You'll get it! :)

Answer 8

There  are so many rules of the game.

  basix----

It is played with a bat and a ball,11 players in each team

Ball is little bigger than tennis ball,but much harder

and can hurt you badly if u r hit with it

Batsman can hit 4s or sixes  or hit the ball and run 1,2,3,4,...

till the ball is given back to bowler by some fielder

Cricket bat has a handle and below handle it is a aprrox

2 ft height,3.5 inches breadth wooden plate,that's curved from

behind and flattish on front.

You hit ball with flat surface of bat.

distance between bowler and batsman is 22 yards

it is called pitch,it is  22yards by 6 ft in dimnsion

ground is approx  75m radius,it can be oval

Answer 9

in cricket there are two teams each will have a different name and they will have 11 players in each. Each team has some bowlers and batsmen and some all rounders batsmen are people who can only bat bowlers are the people who can only bowl and all rounders are people who can bat and bowl

There are three wickets (3 wooden sticks) with two bails on the top if the ball hits the wicket the player who is batting is out. if the ball is bowled and the batsmen hits it in the air and one of the players catch it the batsmen is out. If the ball touches the side of the bat and goes behind th batsmen and the wicket keeper catches it the batsmen is out. if the ball has been hit and the players star to run if they dont reach the crease and the bowlers hit the wicket before the batsmen is out.

if the ball doesn't bounce and goes above the waist it is called a no ball you will get an extra run if the ball goes on the leg side it is a wide if the ball goes over the boundary without bouncing it is a six if it goes over the boundary with bouncing it is a 4 all thiese things the umpire will give you a signal

there are two thing leg side and off side the place were you put your bat is your off side on the other side it is called a leg side so if the ball goes on the leg it is wide.

in one day cricket there is 50 overs 1 over contains 6 bowls. so 50 overs is 300 balls. in test cricket it does not matter you can bat as long as you want unless the team declares and they let the others bat. in 20 20 cricket there are only 120 balls bowled it is a short game

hope i helped starred...........

Answer 10

Well each team is made up of 11 players. One team bats and the other fields or bowls. The batting team go ‘in’ whilst the fielding team go 'out’ to field and try to get the batting team, whom are 'in', 'out'. The batting team that are not 'out' try to stay 'in'. Once the batting team is 'out' though, the fielding team is now 'in'. Whereas the team that were 'in' are now 'out'. It is now the tern of the team that is now 'out' to get the team now 'in', 'out'.

I hope that clears it up for you!

Answer 11

It is impossible to explain the rules of cricket over the internet. The way i learned to play new sports is by playing them on a game console like a PS2, PS3 or Xbox 360. I advise the game Ricky Ponting 2007, it explains the rules very well in the training nets.

Answer 12

The umpire's decision during a game is final in all matters that means no arguing with the umpire, even though you may be sure of his misjudgment. However this is rare these days due to the presence of the third umpire.  

The rules of cricket define dismissals and if you know you're out within that definition, you are morally obliged to aid the umpire and walk, even though the umpire may have missed the judgment.

Bowlers are not allowed to tamper with the ball in any way. They can polish the ball by rubbing it with cloth, drying or removing mud from the ball and applying saliva or sweat to it. Any other substance is illegal, as is rubbing the ball on the ground and tampering with the seams..

Members of the fielding team cannot distract the batsmen while he is batting. If in case they do that, the umpire can call a dead ball and award five penalty runs to the batting side's total.

Bowler should not keep bowling short or high pitched balls which could cause injury to the batsmen. In such cases, the umpire can call a no ball and warn the bowler.

Players in any innings should not waste time in any way. If they do that the umpire first warns the Captain of the offending team and if it continues then five runs are awarded for the other team.

The new batsman making their way to the wicket is to be applauded.

All players are responsible to avoid unnecessary damage to the pitch during play. If a fielder damages the pitch then a caution will be issued to the fielding captain. Any repeat action from any fielder during the innings and the umpire will add five runs to the batting side's total. A batsman who damages the pitch will be cautioned by the umpire. If they do it a second time in the same innings, they'll get a final warning and any runs scored from that delivery, other than no balls or wides, will be disallowed.

Any attempt made to steal a run will see five penalty runs awarded to the fielding side.

A batsman is bowled (out) if the ball hits the wicket and dislodges either bail from the top of the stumps.

A batsman is out LBW (Leg Before Wicket) if the ball hits the batsman on his pads and in the opinion of the umpire it was pitched on a straight line between the wicket or on  the off side and would hit the wicket.

A batsman is out hit wicket if a ball is dislodged by his bat, body or cap while he is in the act of making his stroke.

A batsman is out if he hits the ball twice.

An incoming batsman shall be out if he takes more time to come in. Usually two or three minutes being timed from the moment a wicket falls until the new batsman steps on to the field of play.

The batsman shall be caught out if the ball hit by him is caught by any fielder before it touches the ground.

The batsman shall be stumped out when he is out of his crease when the ball is being bowled and the wicket is put down by the wicket keeper.

The batsman is run out when he is out of his crease while attempting a run and his wicket is put down by any player of the opposite side.

Answer 13

um....i don't know all of it. but here's the jist.

there are 3 sticks behind the 'batter'. they are standing vertically. lying on these three sticks are two horrizontal sticks. behind the 'pitcher' is a stick. the goal of the game (for the pitcher) is to throw the ball and knock the two horizontal sticks off the 3 vertical ones. the goal of the batter is to hit the ball, then run to the stick behind the pitcher, touch, and run back. i'm not positive, but i believe that's how it goes. i'm sure i'm missing a lot of info though.

Answer 14
