Scoring Scoring in cricket matches involves two things
the number of runs scored by each team the number of wickets each has lost
The score of a cricket team for innings in progress is shown as the number of runs they have scored "for" the number of wickets their opponents have taken. For example, a team that has scored 100 runs and lost three
wickets has a score of "a hundred for three", written 100–3 (also 100/3 or 3/100)
The team that scores the most runs wins
Equipment Gloves Helmet Leg Guards Bat Ball
Wickets Stumps Bails Creases Wicket Keeper
Bowlers Bowls the ball to the Batsman Tries to get the batsmen out
by bowling the ball and hitting the stumps, knocking off the bails
Fastest bowlers can deliver the ball at a speed of over 90 miles per hour
The ball is supposed to bounce once before reaching the batsman
Batsmen 2 Batsmen on the field The one batting is called the
striker, the other is the non-striker

the barrier as possible Can make a single, 2, 3, 4 or 6

wickets to make runs
Batsmen Cont. Different shots or swings
Pull shot Glance
When a batsman is out he is replaced by a teammate
A team bats until the end of 10 innings or their 10 batters are out
Run Out When a player is not behind
the crease before the ball and the other team puts down the wicket
Fielders Nine fielding positions can be used at any given time The captain may move players between fielding positions at
any time except when a bowler is in the act of bowling to a batsman
Fielding positions are not fixed Slips ,Fly slip, Gully, Leg slip, & Leg gully are there to “catch
out” the batsman The captain is the most important member of the fielding side
He determines all the tactics like who should bowl and how He is responsible for "setting the field” usually in consultation with
the bowler
Cricket Fielder Positions Deep, long: Farther away from the batsman Short: Closer to the batsman Silly: Very close to the batsman Square: Somewhere along an imaginary extension of the
popping crease
Officiating The game on the field is regulated by two umpires One stands behind the wicket at the bowler's end The other in a position called "square leg",
a position 15–20 meters to the side of the "on strike" batsman Off the field and in televised matches there is often a third umpire
who can make decisions on certain incidents with the aid of video evidence third umpire is mandatory for Test matches and limited overs
internationals played between two ICC full members The match details, runs and dismissals, are recorded by two
official scorers, one representing each team
Indoor Cricket 2 teams 6-8 Players per team Rules are mostly the same A ball that is struck to hit the
