 Bowling- the action of bowlers propelling a ball toward the wicket defended by the batter.  Fielding- fielders collecting the ball after it is struck by the batsman in a way that either limits the number of runs the batsman scores or gets the batsman out by catching the ball.  Battings- batsmen hit the cricket ball to score runs or prevent the loss of someone’s wicket.  Runs- the basic unit of scoring. Runs are scored by a batsmen for the team’s score.

CRICKET BAT: IS MADE OF WOOD (USUALLY WHITE WILLOW). IT HAS THE SHAPE OF A BLADE TOPPED BY A CYLINDRICAL HANDLE. CRICKET BALL: A HARD-LEATHER SEEMED BALL WITH THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF 9 INCHES. THIS BALL CAN BE DELIVERED AT A SPEED OF 90 MILES AN HOUR (SO BATSMEN HAVE TO WEAR PADS, HELMET, AND BATTING GLOVES FOR SAFETY).

 Test Cricket-the highest standard of first class cricket. Played with two teams in a group of matches called series. (these also lead to World Cups and Championships).  Limited Overs Cricket- Twenty20 is a popular version and it has the purpose of being able to finish a match in 3 hours.  Indoor Cricket- played in an indoor, netted area and it is formal.  Outdoor (backyard) Cricket- usually played with families and teens in the backyard of their home or at a park. It takes a hitting stick and a ball and you hit it under rectangular sticks stuck in the ground.  Kwik Cricket- the bowler does not have to wait for the batsmen to be ready for a delivery. This leads to a faster, more exhausting game. This usually appeals to kids and teens.  There are many different versions of cricket, so rules vary.

 Bowled- bowler hits the wicket with the ball and the wicket is broken.  Caught- the batsman hits the ball but the ball is caught before it hits the ground.  Run out- a member of the fielding side has broken or knocked down the wicket while batsmen was out of position.  Timed out- means the next batsman did not arrive at the wicket within three minutes of the previous batsmen being dismissed.
