- The Basics
- Two teams of 11 players each
- Two bases (wickets) sixty feet apart in the
middle of the field - Two formats
- Test cricket (5 days) 2 innings per side (one
innings is 10 outs) - One day 1 inning per side (one innings is 10
outs or when maximum pitches have been thrown) - Team scoring more runs wins
7
- Progress of Play
- Captains toss to decide to field or bat
- The fielding team of 11 takes the field
- Wicketkeeper (catcher) is allowed to wear
protective gear - Two batsman (batters) are sent in, one for each
base - Bowler (pitcher) bowls (pitches) from one wicket
(base) to the other - After 6 balls (pitches), catcher moves behind
the first pitchers base and another bowler
makes 6 pitches from the opposite end. Each set
of 6 pitches is called an over.

- Batting and Scoring Runs
- The batsman (batter) can hit in any direction
and can run when he chooses to. - A batsman can score by hitting the ball and
running safely between the two wickets (bases) - Once across (from one base to the other) is one
run (single) - There and back is two runs (double)
- A line drive that reaches the fence scores four
runs - A hit that flies over the fence like a home run
is six runs

- Common Ways of Getting Out
- Any of the three stumps marking the batsmans
base are hit by the pitcher, the batsman is
bowled (struck out) - The ball is hit into a fielders hand without
touching the ground, the batsman is caught (pop
fly) - The batsman uses any part of the body other than
the bat to stop the ball from hitting the
stumps, he is out Leg Before Wicket also called
LBW (interference) - If the two batsmen are running between the
wickets (bases) and a fielder touches the base
before the batsman crosses the safe line, he is
run out (tagging or out at base)
