playing the game

Cricket is played on an oval field, the field has to have a strip that will run down the length of the field length wide, this is called the pitch, the spot where the bowler will stand and bowl the ball to the batsman. There also has to be a boundary line that has marks all around the field. The regulation cricket field is 22 yards in length. Next, mark the field with lines that will show the creases, the marking should be batting, return popping and bowling creases.
The wickets are places on the field, one behind the bowler and the other behind the striker. Each wicket has three stumps that all stand side by side and the top of the stumps are called bails and these will hold the wickets together. The Wicket Keeper or catcher will require a glove to catch the balls thrown in by the fielders as well as by the bowler. The game is started by the striker and non-striker on the field. The non-striker found by the bowler and is partner of the striker, the striker is ready to have the ball pitched or bowled and is ready to hot the ball and send the game into play.
