Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 20-meter (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.Cricket is one of many games in the "club ball" sphere that basically involve hitting a ball with a hand-held implement; others include baseball, golf, hockey, tennis, squash, badminton, and table tennis. It is believed to have been first played in south-eastern England in the 16th century. By the 18th century, it had developed enough to be a sport. The game's governing body is the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has over 100 members, twelve of which are full members who play Test matches. The game's rules are held in a code called the Laws of Cricket, which is owned and maintained by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. The sport is followed primarily in the Indian subcontinent, Australasia, the United Kingdom, southern Africa and the West Indies, its globalisation occurring during the expansion of the British Empire and remaining popular into the 21st century. Women's cricket, which is organised and played separately, has also achieved international standard. The most successful side playing international cricket is Australia, which has won seven One Day International trophies, including five World Cups, more than any other country and has been the top-rated Test side more than any other country.Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played on a cricket field (see image, right) between two teams of eleven players each. The field is usually circular or oval in shape and the edge of the playing area is marked by a boundary, which may be a fence, part of the stands, a rope, a painted line or a combination of these; the boundary must if the ball hits it, run out of the field, or touch or pass over the top of the boundary fence or rope for the batsman to score runs. There are also several other rules which relate to how the ball is bowled and how the batsman may use his or her bat.The main objective of each team is to score more runs than their opponents by scoring boundaries or by hitting the ball over the boundary. A boundary is scored when the ball hits the ground within the boundary or touches or passes over the boundary fence or rope. There are four types of boundaries: a four is scored when the ball hits the ground within the boundary and clears the rope or fence on the full; a six is scored when the ball hits the ground within the boundary and clears the rope or fence on the full without bouncing; an all run four is scored when the ball hits the ground within the boundary and runs to the boundary without bouncing or passing over the boundary fence or rope; and a five is scored when the ball hits the ground within the boundary, clears the rope or fence on the full, and bounces before passing over the boundary or touching the ground outside the boundary.The team batting second tries to score more runs than the team batting first. The team batting first sets a target for the team batting second. The team batting second tries to score more runs than the target. If the team batting second scores more runs than the target, it wins the match. If the team batting second scores less than the target, it loses the match.The game is played with a bat and a ball. The bat is a wooden stick, about 1.5 meters long and 0.5 meters wide. The ball is a hard, solid sphere, about 7.5 centimeters in diameter.The game is played on a cricket field. The cricket field is a large, grassy field. The field is oval in shape. There is a pitch, a strip of grass in the center of the field, that is 22 yards long and 10 feet wide. At each end of the pitch, there are three wooden posts called stumps. The stumps are about 1.5 meters tall and 0.3 meters wide.Two teams of 11 players each play the game. One team bats, while the other team bowls and fields.The team that is batting tries to score runs, while the team that is bowling tries to dismiss the batsmen and prevent them from scoring runs.A batsman is dismissed if the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, or if the batsman hits the ball with his bat and the ball is caught by the fielding team before it hits the ground.A run is scored when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and the ball runs to the boundary without being caught by the fielding team.The game is divided into innings. An innings is a period of play. Each team has one innings. The team that bats first has the first innings, and the team that bats second has the second innings.The game is played until one team has scored more runs than the other team, or until one team has been all out.A team is all out if all of the batsmen are dismissed.A match can also be won if the team batting second scores more runs than the team batting first, even if the team batting second does not score enough runs to win the match. This can happen if the team batting first is all out before it has scored enough runs to win the match.The game is played with a red ball.
