    CRICKET

    INTRODUCTION: - Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two


    teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a
    grass field, roughly oval in shape, in the centre of which is a flat strip of
    ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a cricket pitch. A wicket, usually
    made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch.

    The bowler, a player from the fielding team, bowls a hard, fist-sized
    cricket ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball
    usually bounces once before reaching the batsman, a player from the
    opposing team. In defence of the wicket, the batsman plays the ball
    with a wooden cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the
    bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders,
    players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring
    runs, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman — if he or she
    does not get out — may run between the wickets, exchanging ends
    with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been waiting near
    the bowler's wicket. Each completed exchange of ends scores one run.
    Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the
    playing area. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.

    ORIGINE:- Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of


    years and more than 100 countries are affiliated to the International
    Cricket Council, cricket's international governing body. The sport's
    modern form originated in England, and is most popular in the present
    and former members of the Commonwealth. In many countries
    including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the English-
    speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in
    cricketing parlance as the West Indies, cricket is the most popular sport.
    In Australia, while other sports are more popular in particular areas,
    cricket has been described as the " national sport" and has had a role in
    forming the national identity. It is also a major sport in England, New
    Zealand, South Africa and Zimbabwe . Many countries also have well-
    established amateur club competitions, including the Netherlands,
    Kenya, Nepal and Argentina.
