How to play cricket

Cricket is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard (20-meter) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps.

Rules and regulations:

The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, "bowls" (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side's players attempt to prevent the ball from striking the wicket, and score runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat and running between the wickets, while the fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from reaching the boundary or by getting one of the batsmen out).
When the ball reaches the boundary, four runs are scored. If the ball crosses the boundary without bouncing, six runs are scored. A batsman is out if:
The ball hits the wicket and dislodges the bails (known as bowled).
The ball is caught by a fielder before it bounces (known as caught).
The batsman is run out (when a fielder throws the ball at the stumps before the batsman gets there).
The batsman is leg before wicket (LBW) if he is blocking the wicket with his body and the ball would have hit the wicket if he was not there.
The fielding side tries to bowl out all ten batsmen on the batting side. Once all ten batsmen are out, the fielding side comes in to bat and the batting side comes in to field.

The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Here is a more detailed explanation of some of the key rules and regulations of cricket:

Pitch: The pitch is a 22-yard (20-meter) strip of ground in the center of the field. It is marked with white lines at each end, and has a wicket at each end.
Wicket: The wicket is a set of three stumps with two bails balanced on top. It is located at each end of the pitch.
Bat: The bat is a flat-faced wooden implement used by the batsmen to hit the ball.
Ball: The ball is a hard, leather-covered object that is bowled by the bowlers.
Bowling: The bowler bowls the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The bowler must deliver the ball with his arm over his shoulder.
Batting: The batsmen try to prevent the ball from hitting the wicket and score runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat and running between the wickets.
Fielding: The fielding side tries to prevent the batsmen from scoring runs and to get them out. The fielding side is made up of eleven players, who are positioned around the field.
