Welcome to Cricket Mansion – This blog site is “All about CRICKET” where you find information about the rules of the game, how to play the game, cricket gears you need and tips to improve your cricketing skills.
Essential things you need to play cricket:
Warm up is real important even before you play a friendly time pass game. Do some stretching exercise, rotate your arms, little skipping or jogging, to get yourself ready for the action.
Getting ready for a game:
§ Cricket can be played almost anywhere… in your backyard, ground, park, beach or even streets.
§ Mark your pitch and the crease for batting and bowling.
§ Place your stumps and mark the boundaries.
§ Based on the size of the group you have, you can split as two teams.
Playing the game:
§ The fielders and wicket keeper takes their positions.
§ The game starts with a striker and a non-striker out on the field for the batting team. The striker is ready to be bowled to by standing in a batting position in front of the wicket ready to hit the ball.
§ The bowler bowls the ball to the striker, with usually one bounce before it reaches the striker.
§ The striker hits the ball and both the batsmen run to try to reach the opposite popping crease. When both successfully touch, by body or bat, the ground behind the opposite crease, a run is scored.
§ A six run is scored by hitting the ball over the boundary with out touching the ground. If the ball reaches the boundary and touches the ground in doing so, the batting team is granted four runs.
§ The batsman can get out in a number of ways. Most common ways are bowled, caught, run out, stumped and hit wicket. To learn more about the ways a batsman can get out click here.
