Cricket gives us pleasure. To give us pleasure, the cricketer
plays it with a lot of hazards. Bats and balls are potentially dangerous and
safety question must arise first. When conducting Playing for Life cricket sessions,
always observe the following safety rules:
·
Check the playing surfaces, fields or ground and its surrounds for
hazards (stones, pot holes, goal posts, trees, fences, etc).
·
Avoid uneven and un-mown surfaces.
·
Only use a low-impact ball until players have sufficient skills
for harder balls. When using a hard ball, make sure players use appropriate
safety equipment. I.e. batting helmets, gloves and leg pads.
·
Make sure that there is enough space between players standing
side-by-side in case throws are not accurate.
·
When fielders want to bat tee, the feeder stands on the opposite
side of the tee facing the batter and safe him.
·
The Fielders should roll the ball back to the feeder.
·
Batsman in the batting line should sit at least 5m to the right
and behind the wicketkeeper.
·
Batters must keep to their left when running between wickets. He/
She can use markers if necessary.
·
Practice swings should not allow unless instructed.
·
When batting: a player must follow three steps that’s stop – look
– swing.
·
Players would put bats down when they’re not using it or playing
by it, and must place them on the ground, not throw them to the places or
another player.
A cricket match is
usually played between 2 teams of 11 players, with each team nominating a
captain before the start of the match. However, cricket can also be played in
numerous modified formats, including Super 8s, beach cricket, pair’s cricket
and even street cricket. Several Trophy and cup cricket like ICC World Cup, ICC
T-20 Cricket World Cup etc.
The aim of the fielding
side is to get the batters out, and this can happen in a number of ways. The
main ways batters can get out are:
Bowled out:
If a bowler bowls a ball
that hits the wicket (or stumps)
Caught out if they hit a ball into the air and it is caught by a fielder or
the wicketkeeper
LBW (leg before wicket):
When a bowled ball hits their
legs (or leg pads) in front of the stumps, and
Run out:
if the batter or
non-striker fails to safely reach the other end of the pitch (called crossing the
crease) before a ball retrieved by a fielder or the wicketkeeper hits the
wicket at the same end (or if the wickets have bails, they must be removed).
Stumped Out:
When the wicketkeeper
collects the ball and knocks off the bails before the batter gets their bat or
any part of their body grounded behind the batting crease.

runs.
5) Batters try to hit a ball that is bowled towards them from the
other end of the pitch.

ball is stay on distance from the stump or stumping before the fielders side
players.

or even amount), either batsman A or batsman B may face the bowler.
9) A batsman can make a score without running by hitting the ball in
such way that reaches the boundary which counts for 4 runs or 6 runs (if it
rolls or bounces it is called 4 and if it is on the full it is called 6)
