About Cricket:
The basic idea behind the website is to educate people about the rules & regulations of the cricket and spread the knowledge with an insight of all formats of cricket that we want to educate people.
Cricket is a game of bat & Ball which is played between two teams each consisting of 15 players in the squad and the playing 11 will play on the field. A field oval in shape and a pitch with the length of 22 yards with three wickets fixed between the two ends of the pitch. There is a 30 yards circle on the ground which has some restrictions in different formats of the game. The default rule is there should be atleast 5 players in the 30-yards circle including bowler and wicket keeper throughout the match/Innings. Basically each team will have a different kind of selections in their respective teams, like there are certain combinations/selections. They have certain key strategies & statistics to win the match.
And the selection of players are done after getting an insight of the pitch report, as some pitches are helpful for pace bowlers & some pitches are helpful for spinners. So the major role in a match is played by the bowlers to turn the tables of the game. Yeah there is no doubt batsman’s also have the caliber to change the game and to guide a team to their destiny. But obviously one merit that bowlers always have is, they have six bowls in their single over, and they can rectify/judge the mistake that they are doing, if they are doing a mistake continuously then can change the bowling ends and might think of changing the spell. But always remember batsman’s need only one good delivery to go back to the pavilion or could play one bad shot that would send them back to pavilion.
In the beginning the match, a referee (Umpire) will do the toss a coin between the captains of the two teams and the winner of the toss will decide either to bat first or bowl first. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsman and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored when the strike batsman hits the ball with his bat, then both the batsman will have to run their opposite ends and touch the crease without being dismissed.
Rules:
No-Ball: There are two types of No-balls.
1. If the bowler oversteps the crease (Means the left foot of the bowler should land on the crease or before the crease).
2. If a bowler bowls the full toss ball above the waist height or the shoulder height then also it is called a No-Ball.
Leg Before the Wicket (LBW): If the batsman tries to play the shot and finds his leg/body before the stumps (Inline of the stumps/wickets) then the batsman will be called out as in LBW.
Four: If a batsman hits the ball and it finds the gap or reaches beyond the boundary with some bounces on the ground then it would called a boundary by the umpire.
Six: If a batsman hits the ball in the air and if it reaches outside the boundary line without any bounce on the ground, then it will be called a six.
Single/Run: If a batsmen connects the ball with the bat and both the batsman run to their opposite sides without getting dismissed then it is called a single (run). The same case is also with two runs and three runs (They have to do the same running task two times for two runs and three times for three runs).
Run Out: When a batsman hits the ball and tries to take a run and before touching the other end of the crease if the bails are dismissed with the bowl by the bowler/fielder/wicket keeper then the batsmen will be called run out.
Basically there are three forms of cricket:
