It's stupid method involing complex mathematical calculations. They revise the rules everytime. But in the end no definite way can be established to determine the result of a match. Stupid ICC does it and its not a surprise because they are morons.

Cricket-a game unfamiliar to many Americans, is a summer sport popular in Australaia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the West Indies and Britain. It is a game which requires precision in timing, skill, discipline and patience. Though cricket isn't always a spectacular showpiece, basic knowledge of the game will make it more enjoyable. \n     Cricket is played with two teams of eleven, each with two umpires (referees) on an oval field. The size of the field varies, but generally has a diameter of around 200 metres. A cricket bat is oblong shaped with a skinny handle. The bat in length is around 90 centimetres, or up to your waistline. A cricket ball is made of cork and coated with leather, and is then stitched up. A ball weighs around 10 ounces. \n     In the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a hard, flat strip of dry ground around 18 metres long. Two batsman are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. The bowler runs up to the pitch where he bowls the ball overarm but releases the ball before he reaches the crease, which is a white line painted on the pitch. If the bowler oversteps the line, there is a one run penalty. \n     Teams score by getting runs. A run is completed when a batsman hits the ball and then runs to the other end of the cricket pitch, getting past the crease. The non striking batsman has to run to the opposite end as well. The batsman can run as many times as they like, but the batsmen can get out if their stumps are hit with the ball by a fielder before the batsman reaches the crease. The stumps are three sticks of equal size measuring around 90 centimetres tall with 5 centimetres separating them. Bails (small pieces of wood) are balanced on top of the stumps. \n     Other ways runs can be scored are by hitting boundaries. Boundaries are scored when the ball is hit and touches or goes past the outer edge of the field. Four runs are scored when the batsmen hits the ball and the ball hits the ground before reaching the outer edge of the boundary, and six runs are scored when the ball is hit and goes over the boundary without touching the ground. Runs can also be scored in the following ways: No balls, when the bowler oversteps the crease, bowls in a dangerous manner or incorrectly, or if the ball rises above the batsmans head. A no ball is worth one run. A wide is scored when the ball goes outside the line of the pitch before coming in line with the batsman. This is also worth one run. A leg bye is scored when the ball hits the batsman but doesnt contact his bat and then proceeds to run. A bye is scored when the batsman runs without the ball coming into into contact with the batsman or his bat, and then runs. \n     The fielding team can get the batsman out in several ways, by 1) catching him out. This is done when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and a fielder catches the ball on the full. By 2) bowling him out. This happens when the bowler bowls the ball and the ball strikes the batsmans stumps or bails. By 3) leg before wicket, or LBW. This happens when the bowler bowls it and the stumps being hit by the ball are prevented when the batsmans leg gets in the way. By 4) stumped, when the batsman comes forward to hit the hit but steps out of his crease, misses the ball and the fielder behind the stumps collects the ball hits the stumps before the batsman gets back behind his crease. By 5) run out, when the batsman attempts to score a run but has his stumps hit by the ball before he reaches the other crease. By 6) Hit wicket, when the batsman hits his own stumps while trying to hit the ball.By 7) retired, when the batsman voluntarily decides to finish his innings, and 8)timed out, when the next batsman doesnt appear on the pitch within two minutes of the last batsman getting out. \n     Each team has one inning of 50 overs. An over is a series of 6 bowls by a bowler. Each bowle

The phrase began as a result of the game of cricket. The fielding team have two players bowling the cricket ball at the oppositions wickets' Each bowler bowls 6 balls, which is called an over. If the bowler hits the opposition wickets, that opposing player, the batsman, is out of the game, having being had his wickets bowled over. Dpending on the relative skills of the batsman and bowler, being bowled could be a surpriisng act. \n\nThe idiom was then picked up for general use as a way to describe the act of totally surprising someone.

duckworth-lewis is not used in every case,it comes into consideration only if 25 overs hv been bowled in the 2nd inn'gs. of a ODI. while it has been strongly disapproved by many cricket experts the reason that its still used is no other theory with a btr explanation has ever been introduced in cricket matches that are been suspended due to weather conditions.\n            It basically includes deduction of the 'required run rate' by the team batting second and the position or the run rate of the team at the time when play stops..if it exceeds the 'overal. req rate' then d team battin' sec. wins or otherwise the team dat batted first.\n             the basic funda behind D-L method is to get result and it still is under lot of controversy.

Good batsmen are very quick and have excellent eye-hand coordination. When you are in the slips you rely on your reflexes to make catches.

cricket\nin progress. The beige strip is the cricket pitch. The people wearing black trousers on the far right are the umpires.]] Cricket is a team game played between two teams of eleven players each. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular participatory and spectator sport. Cricket is a major sport in places such as England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking Caribbean. The length of the game (a game can last over six or more hours a day for up to five days), numerous intervals for lunch and tea and rich terminology help confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between the top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment that has occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage. \nObjective and summary\nCricket is a bat and ball sport. The objective of the game is to score more runs (points) than the opposing team. A match is divided into innings. During an innings, one team bats while the other team bowls and fields. (Note: when referring to "a team's innings," one usually means that team's turn to bat.) Games may be played over one or two innings. For some one innings matches each team's innings may be restricted to a set number of fair deliveries to be bowled by the opposing team. The team batting first aims to set a target score for the opposition and the team batting second chases the target. The bowling team tries to limit the runs scored by the batting team and at the same time to get the opposition players out, an event which is described as 'taking a wicket'. Each player continues to bat until he is out; once he is out, he may not bat again in that innings. The team batting always has two batsmen on the field; once ten of the eleven players of the batting team have been dismissed (i.e. ten wickets have been taken) the innings comes to an end. The winner is the team which has scored the most runs. If the team batting last loses, they are said to have lost the match by m run(s), where m is the difference in scores between the teams. If the team batting last wins they are said to have won the match by n wickets, where n is the number of additional wicket(s) the opposing team needed to take to bring the innings to an end. If both teams score the same number of runs, and the team batting last has completed its last innings, the match is a tie. If the match cannot be completed before the allotted time for the match expires, the result is a draw. If the match has only single innings per side, with a set number of deliveries, and the match is abandoned without completion due to an impossibility of continuing the play, because of bad weather, unruly crowd or any such unlikely event or situation, the result is declared as No-Result. See also: Result \nLaws of cricket\nMain article: Laws of cricket The game is played in accordance with 42 laws of cricket, which have been developed by the Marylebone Cricket Club in discussion with the main cricketing nations. Teams may agree to alter some of the rules for particular games. Other rules supplement the main laws and change them to deal with particular circumstances. In particular, there are a number of modifications to the playing structure and fielding position rules that apply to one innings games that are restricted to a set number of fair deliveries. \nPlayers and officials\nMain articles: Cricketer, Umpire Each team consists of eleven players. Depending on his primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A balanced team usually has five or six specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers. A player who excels in both fields is known as an all-rounder. One player of the team that is currently bowling takes up the role of a

First of all what you need is:\n\nYou always need to be positive. Always talk to yourself, while batting, that you can pull the game even from 0/9.\n\nBatting in last over or looking for some quick runs:\n\nIf you are looking to score some quick runs to shift the score, then always opt for straight. Back over the bowlers head. That´s where no fielder will be placed. If you are batting in Power-Plays then try to hit it bit over the top to make sure that you would get atleast four (4) runs out of it. Don´t take too many risks. Because if you can get 12 runs in one over, then just think that it´s better to pick 6 from every over.\n\nAdvices:\n\nIf you want your team to win, then always attack your opposition´s best bowler. Don´t defend against. Never think that you shouldn´t give him your wicket to boost his moral. Because, bowlers such as McGrath, will either get on top of you or either would get thrashed by the oppostion. So, by defending against him, you would just boost him, though bit slowly than giving your wicket, but it certainly dents your chances. Be a good batsman on every side of the wicket. Though, every batsman has his favourite shots. But you can even give a weakness to the opposition by doing this. One thing that you really need is sense. You should be such batsman that if they can block your shots, then try to milk the bowling by picking up singles. Be a good runner. Never miss a opportunity to take a run. Never look towards the bowler after getting out to him. Never hear what the bowler says. They might say "Come on, hit one for six (6)", but you should never listen to them. Because you would be kicking yourself by giving your wicket away because of the verbal skills of the bowler. Because you would feel "He didn´t anything. It´s me who gave my wicket away after getting carried away".\n\nI hope for the best for you!\n\nRawal.

Hey, first of all, u are asking about batting and then giving details of swing. Both the terms belongs to to different departments of Game.\n\nBatting is the hitting of ball with the help of bat. The batsman is the person who is batting. He makes runs by hitting the ball......\n\nWhile Swing is a type of Bowling. A ball that curves through the air, as opposed to off the seam. There are three types of Swings:\n1. In Swing: Which tends to move into the Batsman.\n2. Out Swing: Which tends to move away from the Batsman.\n3. Reverse Swing: When the ball is 50 overs old and the pitch is as flat as a pancake, this phenomenon is often a bowling side's saving grace. First mastered by the Pakistani quicks of the 1980s and 1990s, it involves sideways movement of the ball through the air that is contrary to your average everyday laws of physics. It is called as the deadliest weapon of the fast Bowler. WAQAR YOUNIS  of pakistan was the master of this art...

It is a baseball term.\n\nWhen there are no runners on base, a pitcher "winds up" to make a pitch, using his whole body to put more speed on the ball.  However, if there are runners on-base, it is easier for them to steal a base if the pitcher "winds-up".  To prevent this, a pitcher will throw "from the stretch" or "out of the stretch" meaning that he makes much less of a motion before throwing the ball.

What is Power Play in one day cricket.\nPreviously, in ODI's, there were no fielding restrictions. The fielding captain could keep his players anywhere he wanted. Then, around the World Cup in 1996, ICC introduced the 15 over field restriction rule. Only 2 fielders were allowed outside the 30 yard circle from the batsmen for the first 15 overs on an innings. And from the 16th over, 5 fielders were allowed to move out. One more important aspect of that rule was that two fielders had to be in catching positions - 15 yards from the batsmen, till the field restrictions applied.\n\nNow, in mid 2005, ICC - headed by one of the slowest batsman - Sunil Gawaskar came up with some changes in the restriction rule. The previous 15 overs of Field restriction is increased to 20 over - in three blocks, called Power Play.\n\nPower Play 1 - Its mandatory for the first 10 overs of an innings in a one day cricket match. Only two fielders outside 30 yards from the batsmen. And two fielders have to be at catching positions..\n\nPower Play 2 and 3 - These are two blocks of 5 overs each. The fielding captain decides when he wants to employ these two block. The moment he calls for the second power play and the third power play, 5 overs from that particular over will have only two fielders outside the 30 yards circle. A captain can't chose for a power play in the middle on an over. He has to tell the umpire in the starting of an over. For example, if the batting team is scoring freely, he can chose not to take power play after the first 10 overs and set fielders at the boundary. And when he sees that run rate in back in control, he can take power play from that over. It can be from 11th over or 21st over. But he has to take these two blocks within those 40 overs. Otherwise, the last 10 overs will automatically be Power Plays.

I would say Gillespie showed that patience could previal over technique with his double ton.\n\nConsidering technique, Shoaib Malik & Younis Khan are far better however, they seldom fail to be patient and persistent. More often they are dismissed trying to score runs off the balls that someone in Gillespie's frame of mind who was sent in as a night watchman and his sole aim was to occupy the crease for max. time would have played a defensive shot.
