The Start of a Cricket Match :
The captain that wins the toss (flipping a coin) gets to choose either to bat or bowl first. Two players from the batting team go out to bat. Their other nine players support their team off the field of play waiting for their turn at bat.
The game is played by the bowler, bowling the cricket ball to try and get the batsman out. There are four way to do this:
Bowled – this is when the bowler bowls the ball and the batsman missed it and it hits the wickets.
Caught This is when the batsman hit the ball in the air and one of the eleven players in the field catches the ball before it hits the ground.
Hit Wicket – When a batsman hits and dislodges the bails during the course of a shot, he will be given out as Hit-Wicket and the wicket belongs to the bowler.
L.B.W. (Leg Before Wicket) This is when the ball hits the batsman on the leg and in the opinion of the umpire the ball would have hit the wickets.
Run Out This is when the batsman runs between the wickets at each end and the fielding team break the wickets before he makes the other end.
Scoring Runs The way the batsmen score runs is by either hitting the ball to the boundary. (which is the circle that is placed around the pitch about sixty yards away from the pitch) The ball has to be hit over this boundary to score four runs.
If it is hit over the boundary on the full the batting team scores six runs. The other way to score runs is when the two batsmen run between the wickets. (22 yards apart) this counts as one run........................courtesy by http://www.worldcricketblog.com/
