Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies in the 17th century, probably before it had even reached the north of England. In the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by East India Company mariners in the first half of the century. It arrived in Australia almost as soon as colonisation began in 1788. New Zealand and South Africa followed in the early years of the 19th century.\n\nThe basic rules of cricket such as bat and ball, the wicket, pitch dimensions, overs, how out, etc. have existed since time immemorial. In 1727, we first hear of "Articles of Agreement" to determine the code of practice in a particular game and this became a common feature, especially around payment of stake money and distributing the winnings given the importance of gambling. In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added. These law stated that 'the principals shall choose from amongst the gentleman present two umpires who shall absolutely decide all disputes.' The codes were drawn up by the so-called "Star and Garter Club" whose members ultimately founded MCC at Lord's in 1787. MCC immediately became the custodian of the Laws and has made periodic revisions and recodifications subsequently.

There are 2 types of game \n\n1.One day game known as ODI lasts for approximately 6hrs + 45mins break. \n2.Test match is for 5days where 2 teams can bat 2 times (Innings)\n3.Now ICC (International Cricket Council) is trying to promote 20/20 games which last less then 1day game. Difference between these two is One Day game has 50 Overs X 6 pitches where 20/20 has 20 Overs X 6 pitches

I think you stay in the US. Don't be shame, I live in the US too and I am glad that we have one more person finds this game interested. \n\nDimensions \nThe field of play must be rectangular. The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line. \n\nLength: minimum 90 m (100 yds), maximum 120 m (130 yds) Width: minimum 45 m (50 yds), maximum 90 m (100 yds) \n\n\nInternational Matches \nLength: minimum 100 m (110 yds), maximum 110 m (120 yds) Width: minimum 64 m (70 yds), maximum 75 m (80 yds) \n\nThe half circle is penalty arc and really does not serve anything.

Recently I sent a letter to a friend in Africa and the post office said if it were a regular sized letter that 6 postage stamps would more than cover the postage. (It did too, my friend got the 5 page letter and money enclosed with it.) \n\nI hope this helps.

Cricket: The Rules \nHenry VIII called it "the sport of kings," but for many cricket is shrouded in enigma. This needn't be the case. At heart, once removed of jargon, it remains a simple game of immense depth and beauty, combining strategy, cunning, raw hand-to-hand fist fighting to the death, teamwork and even the occasional tear of sorrow. What follows is a simplified summary of the rules, as first set down by WG Grace, Lord of Wisden, in 1851. \n\n\nThe Basic Set-up \n Cricket is played between two opposing teams. One team bats while the other fields. It is easy to tell which is the batting team, because they are wearing fenners — white woolly jumpers with two cyan stripes around the upper arm (the other team's jumpers have two turquoise stripes). The batters play within the light green rectangle known as the crease, and each stands in front of the wicket — the small wooden apparatus at each end. Although anyone in the team may bat, usually two batters are chosen. The ball is thrown at the batter by the bowler. It is the bowler's job to try and befuddle the batter so that he misses the ball or plays a bad shot. \n\n\nHow Are Points Scored? \nPlayers gain points in the following way: \n\nBy Runs: after hitting the ball the batter may run as many times as he likes between the two ends. Each run (there and back) equals one point on his team's score. \nBy Fours: after hitting the ball the batter may crawl on all fours between the two ends. Each completed trip scores four points. \nBy Popping: If the ball 'knobs' the batter, a pop (two points) is added to the score. \nBy Googling a Six: If the ball, after being hit, rolls along the ground uninterrupted for fifty yards (a google), the team receives six points. (Named after Reg Google, Australian wicket-keeper who was so short that he was incapable of lifting the bat.) \nBy an Over: one point is scored (see below). \nFielding \nLord Larry Grayson said "cricket, like chess, is won in the field," and it is certainly true that the strategic positioning of your men on the pitch can make the difference between check and checkmate. However, it is important to remember that fielders mostly stand around doing nothing. The sometimes obscure names for fielding positions are illustrated below. \n\n \n\nBowling \nThe ball must be thrown from the Knacker's End: the end nearest which the umpire (referee) wearing the Knacker's Hat stands. The ball bounces and the batter must attempt to hit it. If he fails to hit the ball, the following penalties apply, in order: \n\nFirst miss: umpire calls 'maiden' and the ball is passed again to the bowler. \nSecond miss: umpire calls 'over' and one point is given to the opposing team. \nThird miss: umpire calls 'bye' and the player must leave. \nOther Ways of Being Out \nThere are in total seven ways of being out, or dismissed: \n\nWhen the umpire calls 'bye' (explained above). \nWhen the ball is caught by an opposing fielder before it has touched the ground, but after it has been knocked by any part of the batter (including the bat) other than the extra legs (below the navel) or the eyes. \nWhen the player is adjudged to be wasting time (taking more than 24 hours between consecutive bowls). \nWhen the player hits the ball twice, unless doing it to protect his wicket or testicles. \nWhen the umpire calls 'leg before wicket'. This is a complex rule, explained below. \nWhen player, bat and ball remain static, at the discretion of the umpire. This rule was introduced in 1983 after a cardboard cut-out of Ian Botham played for seventeen hours. (Does not apply in wet weather.) \nWhen the ball, after being bowled, hits the wicket and knocks it over (rare). \nLeg Before Wicket \nThis rule was introduced when players realised that it was more productive to kick the ball rather than play it using the bat, because no-one may be caught out thereby (rule 2 above). \n\n \n\nThe

The rules of the game limit the allowable size for a bat as not more than 38 in (965 mm) long and the blade may not be more than 4.25 in (108 mm) wide. Bats typically weigh from 2 lb 8 oz to 3 lb (1.1 to 1.4 kg) though there is no standard. The handle is usually covered with a rubber or cloth sleeve to enhance grip and the face of the bat may have a protective film.\nFor men's cricket, the ball must weigh between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9 and 163.0 g) and measure between 8 13/16 and 9 in (224 and 229 mm) in circumference. Balls used in women's and youth matches are slightly smaller.

The basic rules of cricket such as bat and ball, the wicket, pitch dimensions, overs, how out, etc. have existed since time immemorial. In 1727, we first hear of "Articles of Agreement" to determine the code of practice in a particular game and this became a common feature, especially around payment of stake money and distributing the winnings given the importance of gambling. In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added. These law stated that 'the principals shall choose from amongst the gentleman present two umpires who shall absolutely decide all disputes.' The codes were drawn up by the so-called "Star and Garter Club" whose members ultimately founded MCC at Lord's in 1787. MCC immediately became the custodian of the Laws and has made periodic revisions and recodifications subsequently.\n\n\nIn 1889 the immemorial four ball over was replaced by a five ball over and then this was changed to the current six balls an over in 1900. Subsequently, some countries experimented with eight balls an over. In 1922, the number of balls per over was changed from six to eight in Australia only. In 1924 the eight ball over was extended to New Zealand and in 1937 to South Africa. In England, the eight ball over was adopted experimentally for the 1939 season; the intention was to continue the experiment in 1940, but first-class cricket was suspended for the Second World War and when it resumed, English cricket reverted to the six ball over. The 1947 Laws of Cricket allowed six or eight balls depending on the conditions of play. Since the 1979/80 Australian and New Zealand seasons, the six ball over has been used worldwide and the most recent version of the Laws in 2000 only permits six ball overs.
