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\n\nCricket 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\n\n \nIn 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\n\nTeams 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\n\nOther 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\n\nThe 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\n\nEach team has one inning of 50 overs. An over is a series of 6 bowls by a bowler. Each bowler c

Jesus. Can we not use something a bit simpler than these weird pounds, mph etc?\n\nOK, 6 pounds is 2.75 kg, let's call it 3 kg. 60 feet is about 20 metres. it does it in 1.7 seconds. That's 12m/s \n\nSo ball Kinetic Energy is .5mv^2. So .5*3*12*12 = 216 Joules\n\nA baseball weighs about .15 kg. Swapping the formula round:\n\nv= sqrt(2*216/.15)= 60 m/s for the same energy. About 216 kph, or 134mph\n\nI think....

Well, theres not enough information here. \nYou have to take into consideration, the angle of the ramp, the weight of the ball, whether the ball is pushed or released, the material which the ramp and ball is made of (their frictional properties)

A Cricket bat is wide like a plank...with a handle at its end, and its much heavier than a baseball bat, and in Cricket the lighter the bat, the better it is. But Sachin Tendulkar(considered by many as the Best Batsman Alive) uses the heavist bat in International Cricket.It can weigh anywhere between .05kg to 3-4 kgs.\nMost bats are made from English Willow which by nature is a soft fibrous wood. \nStarter and particularly smaller Junior size bats tend to utilise more lower priced Indian Kashmir Willow... this is harder and therefore more resilient but generally gives less ball striking satisfaction.\n\n\n A baseball bat is lighter and is shaped like a barrel, that tapers at the end...\nAluminum baseball bats are generally preferred to wooden bats due to their light weight and high strength (note: pro players are allowed to use wood bats only). \n\nBaseball bats are measured using their length to weight ratio,  a negative number that represents how many ounces a bat weighs compared to it's length in inches. For example, a 32 inch bat that weighs 28 ounces is a - 4. The largest ratio is in the range of -12 (for little league bats), while college and high school bats are restricted to a - 3. These restrictions are for safety reasons - a college or high school player swinging a very light bat (- 4 +) would simply have too much power and could pose a danger to other players on the field.
