it is interesting.... there are 2 persons in each team. they will ony bat and bowl. others will field. when they get out, certain runs are subtracted. and team batting second plays entire quota of overs, irrespective of whether thay have achieven their target or not. this is because, even after achieving the target, they can get out and loose runs....

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

why'd you put this in cricket? i dont know how to help you.

The origin of the word 'wicket' was to refer to the stumps because of their resemblance to wicket gates, and according to the source I found, was first used in cricket in 1733.\nIn terms of getting a wicket, remembering that originally there were far fewer ways of dismissing a batsman than there are today, the bost common way of dismissing a batsman was bowled. This was (and is) referred to as the wicket falling, or fall of wicket.\nSame goes for the bowler "breaking the wicket".\nNot sure how the pitch ever came to be called the wicket.\nAs for things having more than one term, that isn't unique to cricket at all - football (in all its forms, depending on your origin) has its field variously referred to as the track, the field, the paddock, the sward and a host of other titles. I think you have to look at that as being part of the rich tapestry of sport...

You can improve by learning all the rules of the game, not cheating, and "double crossing." Double crossing is when you pass to a teammate, they pass it back to you, and you throw it into the scoring area. This has to be done while in runnning motion.

Hockey and Cricket are nothing alike. Cricket has more in common with Baseball, but instead of running around bases, you run back and forth between the bails. The pitcher is trying to knock down the bails behind the batter. It's kind of dumb.

Well in such situations, the match shall be awarded to the side batting 2nd. Because, when the scores are crossed then there is nothing left. You might have noticed, that in this ICCCT (ICC Champions Trophy) in the match between Australia and England, Michael Hussey hit the ball for 4 on a "No-ball" to win the match. But, only the "No-ball" was counted in the scores, because once the scores are crossed, then there nothing left in it. And also, the last wicket of the stumping shall not be awarded. So, the side batting 2nd would win the match by 1 wicket.\n\nRawal.

It is generally used to refer to professional cricketers rather than amateur players.\n\nA cricket match is played between two sides, each consisting of eleven cricketers or players, though by agreement that sides may allow fewer or more than eleven cricketers to play as long as no more than eleven players are fielding at any one time. Each team appoints a captain.\n\nThe rules concerning the players of a cricket game are in Law 1 of the Laws of cricket. This law also requires each team to be named prior to the toss of a coin to decide which team bats and which team bowls first. They may not be changed thereafter (but see Substitute). Law 1 also makes the captains responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit and traditions of the game as well as within the Laws.\n\n\nTypes of cricketers\nCricketers can be classified by what area of the game they are best at. The most common classifications are:\n\nBatsman \nBowler \nWicket-keeper \nAll-rounder

The Doubleday story is a myth.\n\nThough probably technically correct to say it evolved from cricket, it's more accurate to say that both games evolved from earlier, more primitive games.  To the extent that any one person could be credited with creating the game, that man would be Alexander Cartwright, who wrote a set of baseball rules in 1845.  These "Knickerbocker Rules" are the earliest written documentation that can be directly linked to the game as it is currently played.
