Step one\n\nHold the ball as if you're about to bowl a normal leg break.\n\nThe top joints of the index and middle fingers should be across the seam, with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.\n\nStep two\n\nAt the point of release, the palm of your hand should be open upwards, towards the sky, with the back of your hand facing the batsman.\n\nYour wrist should be 180 degrees to the ground, while the seam of the ball should point towards fine leg.\n\nAgain, it should be your third finger which does most of the work, turning the ball anti-clockwise on release. \n\nVisit:\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/skills/newsid_3208000/3208899.stm

1. Take any action which is comfortable for you\n2. For bowling a good line and lenght, first go the other end from where the batsmean is batting, and from there, think that u r the batsman, and think of a spot on the crease on which if the bowlwr bowls, it would be difficult to play for u.\n3. As u r a beginer at that level, put a coin on that spot\n4. Now, mark ur run-up, and now, just easily run towards the crease, do the action which u prefer, and just concentrate on the coin and try to bowl on it.\n5. Do this about 15-20 times, till u can easily bowl on that coin.\n6. If u have chosen a good spot, a batsman will always have difficulty when u r bowling on it. Also, if u want bounce, have a high arm action (like farveez mahroof, wasim akram, irfan pathan), and if u want just pace, have a low arm action (munaf patel, brett-lee, shoaib akhta), and if u wanna swing the ball, while bowling move only the WRIST in the direction where u want the swing.\n7. If u follow tese steps just like as i have told, u will urself see the change in u, and u will become a successfull pace bowler\n8. Trust me, my brother gave me all these tips, and now he himself has problems playing my bowling now. My bowling has improved to a big extent.

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.

Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called the pitch.\n\nAt each end of the pitch stand a set of wooden poles called wickets (traditionally made from the wood of the ash tree). A player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized ball from one wicket towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat, traditionally made of willow. Another batsman (the non-striker) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with the non-striker. This scores a run. The batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, while members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out. Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat or innings (always with a terminal "s" in cricket usage) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. Depending on the specific rules of the match, one or two innings may be played, possibly with a fixed number of legally-bowled balls defining the end of an innings rather than ten batsmen having been dismissed. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try and achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\n\nPlaying Nations:\nEngland\nIndia\nPakistan\nBangladesh\nSri Lanka\nAustralia\nNew Zealand\nSouth Africa\nZimbabwe \nWest Indies

I think it is very hard to learn it from written suggestions. If you are interested in learning cricket's different fields then consult a coach if you can afford. If you can not afford a coach then ask a senior player to guide you and teach some tricks to you. However follow the reasonable written suggestion also I wish they help you.

Cricket is a sport normally played by two teams of 11 men each. It originated in Britain and spread throughout many of its colonies. It is a bat and ball game similar to baseball in many respects.\n\nCricket has innings. Instead of pitchers, it has bowlers who bowl the ball to the batsmen. There are two bowlers bowling from either end in overs where they deliver 6 balls to the batsmen. There are two batsmen who aim to score runs of the bowlers. The batsmen in cricket can score runs by hitting the ball. There are 11 fielders including bowlers who field all over the park. When the bowler isn't bowling, he is a fieldsman like his teammate. An innings ends when ten batsman have been given out by the umpire. There are several ways a batsman can be given out:\n\n* bowled when a ball from the bowler hits the stumps (three wooden sticks) and disturbs the bails (two pieces of wood sitting in groves on top of the stumps);\n\n* caught out similar to baseball;\n\n* leg before wicket where the ball hits the batsman's body before his bat and where the umpire considers it would have bowled him out if it hadn't hit his body;\n\n* run out which is similar to being thrown out in baseball before reaching a base.\n\nThere are now three types of cricket:\n\n* traditional cricket where the games last several days and both batting teams have two innings of undefined duration;\n\n* one day cricket which consists of one innings of fifty overs each; and\n\n* twenty-twenty where each innings is 20 overs each and each innings lasts for no longer than one and a half hours.

the way i play cricket is you try to hit as high a score as possible you have 7 lives (wickets) your opponent tries to hit bulls or 25s with 2 lives coming off for a bull and 1 for a 25 once all lives are lost your opponent tries to hit a higher score before he loses all his lives \nshanghai isn't a game all it is  is single double treble of the same number with 3 darts \nnot sure about killer there a so many different ways to play it \nthe best game for improving is round the clock start at 1 all the way to 20 in numerical order then 25 bull you can also go round the clock on doubles and trebles if you hit 3 in a row eg 4,5,6 you get another 3 darts
