Cricket, England's national summer sport, which is currently played all through the world, especially in Australia, India, Pakistan, the West Indies, and the British Isles.
Cricket is played with a bat and ball and includes two contending sides (groups) of 11 players. The field is oval with a rectangular territory in the center, known as the pitch, that is 22 yards (20.12 meters) by 10 feet (3.04 meters) wide. Two arrangements of three sticks, called wickets, are set in the ground at each finish of the pitch. Over the highest point of every wicket lie flat pieces called safeguards. The sides alternate at batting and bowling (pitching); each turn is called an "innings" (constantly plural). Sides have a couple of innings each, contingent upon the prearranged term of the match, the article being to score the most runs. The bowlers, conveying the ball with a straight arm, attempt to break (hit) the wicket with the ball so the safeguards fall. This is one of a few different ways that the batsman is expelled, or put out. A bowler conveys six balls at one wicket (in this manner finishing an "over"), at that point an alternate player from his side dishes six balls to the contrary wicket. The batting side shields its wicket.
