Cricket-rules

Hello!
Cricket is a technical game which requires a lot of concentration and patience.When one loses
his cocentration and patience, he pays a heavy price for it.Cricket has gained a lot of popularity for the last few years.In this blog Iam going to write about some simple rules of cricket as many people in the world are not familiar with it.Cricket is a game played between 2 teams each team plays with 11 players.The captains of the team decide that which team will bat or bowl first by a coin toss.Two players from the batting team come out in the middle to play and the rest stay in the dressing room.There is a 22 yards long pitch in the middle of the ground.The batsmen stand on either ends of the pitch.One is the strikers end and other is the non striker end.The batsman on the strikers end faces the ball.A wicket-keeper stands behind the batsman on the strikers end and stops the ball if the batsman leaves any ball.The objective of the team batting first is to accumulate as many runs as possible in a limited no. of overs i.e.10,20 or 50.The objective of the team bowling first is to get the batting team all out at the least possible score or finish all the overs and restrict the team to such a score that is easy for them to chase afterwards.After the team batting first finishes its batting,the other team comes to bat.Now the objective of the team that is batting is to make more runs than the other team made.The objective of the bowling team is to get all the players of the batting team out or restrict them from making runs more than the bowling team made.If the batting team is not able to reach the target which was set for them,then the bowling team wins.If the batting team is able to reach the target which was set for them,then the team batting second wins.These were the rules for ODI(One-Day International) cricket.There is another kind of cricket known as test cricket.The rules of test cricket are little bit different from those of ODI cricket.There are many other complex rules in cricket about which I have not written.
