Canada It is essentially a bat and ball game played by eleven players per team It is played on an oval shaped field about yards across and ISO yards long although the Is not In the centre of this field Is the pitch which consists of a strip 22 yards long by about eight feet wide which Is either very smooth fine grass or more usually here malt on top of shale At each end of the pitch arc three sticks or stumps nine Inches wide in total The batsman aim is to prevent the stumps from being hit by the bowler and at the same lime to score runs The bowler delivers the ball from the opposite set of stumps with a straightarm sling action He can either bowl fast and attempt to swing the ball in the air or howl spinners trying to break the ball off the pitch in front of the batsman Each bowler will bowl six deliveries called an over before the second bowler bowls the next over from the opposite end Batsmen bat in pairs one at each end a striker and striker Toscorearun the striker will attempt to hit the ball so that the batsmen can safely change ends before the ball is returned to either set of stumps by a fieldsman It is possible that the batsmen could cross safe ly twice or three times safely before the ball is rt turned Should the ball be hit beyond the boundary of the field four runs are scored and If this Is done without the ball bouncing A team Is all out when ten batsmen have been removed by the elding team who will then bat and attempt to score more total runs If theydoandlose say only six players out In the process they arc said to have won by four wickets the outs they still have in hand Conversely If the sec team does not the required total they lose by the number of runs they were short Should time be called before cither situation occurs the game is a draw Usually in local cricket six hours are agreed for the total game A good batting score in this type of cricket would be a total of about 175 runs and It is not unusual far a batsman to score or more of these himself The fielding team can dismiss a batsman In a number of ways He can be bowled the stumps are t by the bowler caught off a fly ball run out If he make it home safely in attempt a run or leg wicket tlbw by prevent with leg the stumps being hit when facing a bowler Other less com mon methods of being out also exist A batsman does not have to run If he hits the ball He can decide if It is safe to reach the other end if it Lint in his opinion he may Just ready himself to face the next ball In summary then You have two teams one out in the field and Each man that In the sldo that s In
