Usually the two captains toss a coin and whoever wins the toss decides if they will bat first or field first.

I will not forget the B.B.C radio commentator Brian Johnston that said "The batsman's Holding the bowler's Willey" Gave me a good laugh.

Honestly, that is the term used. It is in the Laws of Cricket. Law 16. The umpire calls 'Play'

Answer 10

If there is an umpire, he will look round to check that everything is in order and that the batsman is ready, and then say 'Bowl.'

If there isn't an umpire, the fielding captain will cast an eye at the batsman, to check he is ready, and then usually just nod at his opening bowler.

Answer 11

You play!

There are certain formalities first of course, its a little different to the other sports.

The team who will be batting bowling first must be decided,  this is done in the fair old english way of tossing a coin.  the captain who guess right gets to choose whether to bat or bowl first.  

The umpires go out and put the bails on the wickets and the fielding side open the bowling to the opening batsmen.

Lots of fun

Answer 12

I don't know that much about cricket, but don't you just stand there waiting for the pitch (or bowl, or whatever its called)?

American Baseball and Cricket seem to be more or less related; and in Baseball they just stand there until the pitcher (I think Cricket has a bowler) throws the ball.

Answer 13

Well if you take the start from when the umpire calls it then it is "Play"

Answer 14

Decide whos going to Umpire and score if there is no regular, who is going to buy the first round and then bowl the first ball

Answer 15

Have a cup of tea, and flip a coin.

Answer 16

IDK! begin? open? start?

I think it's open.

like the opening batsman (strauss?) is facing the opening bowler (gillespe?).

Answer 17

Open the bowling (or batting)

Answer 18

When the umpire throws the coin and whoever wins the toss of the coin out of the two captains will decides on which teams opening batsmen sees off the first ball or which bowler takes the new ball.

Answer 19

First ball.
