Duck it down.\n\nIn Yorker, the ball exactly lands where ever the batsman is standing! The only way to counter it to go on backfoot and stop the ball. Thats what is called ducking it down.

LOL! Not much point checking that wikipedia link when he 's just cut & pasted most of it!\n\n\nA briefer answer, based on the fact that you understand how limited overs cricket works:\n\n..Unlike one day cricket, both teams have TWO batting innings each. The only limit to when an ininings has to end is when the batting side lose their tenth wicket, although a captain can also call an early end to his side's innings if he believes his side has more than enough runs to place them in a very strong position (this is called "declaring") \n\n...The first objective of the team batting first is to score enough runs to make the match almost impossible for the fielding team to win. Remember, they can take as long as they wish to do this providing they have at least one wicket left. \n\n...The first objective of the team bowling first is to dismiss the batting side for as few runs as possible, as quickly as possibly.  \n\n..Once the bowling side have taken all 10 wickets, the batting side's first innings end, and the teams change over. Alternatively, if the batting side have such a big total that they think the bowling side will seriously struggle to match it, they can declare an end to their own innings.\n\n.. so, here's an example. Lets say Australia go on today to make 560 all out. England then bat and make 420 all out. This means Australia would have a lead of 140 runs on the first innings. Australia then have their second innings, and make 300 all out. They now have a lead of 440, so.. England must make 441 in their second innings to win the match OR avoid losing all their wickets to force a draw. \n\n...Bear in mind that although there is NO limit on the length of \na team's innings, there IS a time limit in the match..namely five days. So a team has to judge how to pace its two innings and the speed of its scoring.. too long, and it does not allow itself enough time to dismiss the opposition, making it easier for the opposition to play for a draw. Any team which finds itself in a position where a win becomes unlikely ( like England at the moment !) will always try to avoid defeat by playing defensively for a draw.\n\nThats as simple as I can make it!

At anytime during a game you can swap any player with your super sub.  You are right in winning the toss you get the chance to fully implement your sub.  If you pick a batter as a sub (say), then you win the toss and bowl, in the 2nd innings you then sub a bowler for you super sub (batter) and you gain a extra batsman, whilst having full use of your bowling during the 1st innings.  Overall your batting gets longer without loosing any bowling power (bit like a really good all-rounder)\n\nIf you lost the toss and was sent into bat (assuming your sub is a batter) you loose the extra man from above, but could implement the sub in the 1st innings anyway go for it in your batting then try and make up the extra overs (lost by subbing your bowler) through some part time bowlers....\n\nOverall its a rather stupid rule and doesn't really bring the innovation to the game it was intended to.  As the options are actually quite limited, there are not many "tricks" you can pull on your opposition that they won't be expecting.

So you want to know how to bowl an off-cutter to a right handed batsman.Well you should try the following:\nHold the ball between the thumb and the index and the middle finger.Remember that the portion with sticthes should be under your thumb.This is where you'll get the most grip.\nWhile Throwing the ball, just twist your thumb for a perfect spin.\nThe perfect seam position is to just picth a good length or a little over-pitched delivery just about 5-6 cms outside from the off stump.\n\nNow go and try it out kid!

Well, really the best way is to have them do it.  Positioning depends on the hitter at the plate.  If they're a power hitter, play behind the bag off the line.  If they're a lefty pull hitter with power, guard the line a little more.  Bunting  situations, play in line with the bag at first base and the pitching rubber, guarding the line.  When they square around to bunt, start moving in towards the bag.  If the catcher, pitcher or 3rd baseman is going to get the ball on a bunt, get out of the line of fire!  If the batter is a slap hitter, play somewhere between the power hitter and bunting positions.  Other than that, it's really just a matter of hitting a few hard ground balls and pop-ups to the infield for the first baseman to get used to it.

In terms of cricket as opposed to cards:\n\nDuck - out for 0\nGolden Duck - out for 0 first ball\nPair - out for 0 in both innings\nKing Pair - out for a golden duck both innings.\n\nSomeone will have to sign off on that last one, but that's what I understand. Somewhat rare occurance.

ok seeing as how you liked the last one....hmmm....well you can play quarters.  Make three shots in a row and make a rule like "no sliding the quarter" or "no saying drink, drank or drunk".  You can play "three man" with some dice everytime a three is rolled the "3 man" drinks, 7 = left, 11 = right, 5&1 = social...then make up a bunch in between.  You can play the "name game" you think of a famous person then the next person has to play off him/her.  Like I say George Clooney...next person has to start with the "C" from Clooney....Chris Farley....then "F"....Fred Flintstone...then because of the double "F" it reverses.  So the guy who says Chris Farley would have to go again real quick "Farrah Faucet" then it'd reverse again.  Then that guy would get stumped and have to drink.\n\nYou can play Kings if you're feeling extra dangerous.  Take all the face cards and the aces and put em all face down around a pitcher in the middle.  hehehe.  each person pulls a card (one at a time).  Oh and add the 9s too.  9 = ryhme.  That person starts a ryhem (can't spell) then each person goes around and has to keep it up.  10s are i dunno guy on left drinks...jacks guy on right drinks....queens every one drinks....King, the first three kings pour into the pitcher...as much as they want/have.  The last King has to drink it all without stopping.  Aces person who pulled has to drink.  That outta hold you over for a bit.

The key and only thing you need to know, is box out!  If the ball comes your way and you have boxed out, the only thing they can do is go over your back and foul you!  BOX OUT!!!

From a delivery straight from the bowler you can hit as many times as you can trying to keep the ball away from the wickets or drive it towards the boundaries.But if you hit the ball and it is touched by a fielder you cannot hit it again as he throws it back at the wickets.

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.
