Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field with a pitch at the center. The game originated in 16th century England and is governed by the International Cricket Council. Key equipment includes bats, balls, wickets, pads, gloves, and helmets. There are numerous ways for a batsman to be dismissed including bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped, run out, and hit wicket.
basketball, game played between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing the ball through the opponent’s goal, an elevated horizontal hoop and net called a basket.
The only major sport strictly of U.S. origin, basketball was invented by James Naismith (1861–1939) on or about December 1, 1891, at the International Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Training School (now Springfield College), Springfield, Massachusetts, where Naismith was an instructor in physical education.
James Naismith
James Naismith
For that first game of basketball in 1891, Naismith used as goals two half-bushel peach baskets, which gave the sport its name. The students were enthusiastic. After much running and shooting, William R. Chase made a midcourt shot—the only score in that historic contest. Word spread about the newly invented game, and numerous associations wrote Naismith for a copy of the rules, which were published in the January 15, 1892, issue of the Triangle, the YMCA Training School’s campus paper.
While basketball is competitively a winter sport, it is played on a 12-month basis—on summer playgrounds, in municipal, industrial, and church halls, in school yards and family driveways, and in summer camps—often on an informal basis between two or more contestants. Many grammar schools, youth groups, municipal recreation centres, churches, and other organizations conduct basketball programs for youngsters of less than high school age. Jay Archer, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, introduced “biddy” basketball in 1950 for boys and girls under 12 years of age, the court and equipment being adjusted for size.
Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams over a net on a court divided by a net. The objective is to ground the ball on the opponent's court under organized rules. Key skills include serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and digging. Recent rule changes allow serves to touch the net and expanded serving areas. A libero player specializes in defensive skills like passing and digging. Coaching focuses on developing basic skills through drills and managing strategy during matches.
Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He created 13 original rules for the new game, using a soccer ball and peach baskets as the first goals. Over time, rules and equipment evolved, including replacing peach baskets with metal hoops and backboards. The game spread rapidly in popularity in the early 1900s. Key basketball skills include shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and running. Regulation court dimensions and markings are specified, along with standard equipment like balls, baskets, and player shoes. Games are officiated by referees, umpires, scorers, timers and other officials who enforce standardized rules and regulations.

It provides rules and positioning for officiating badminton matches, descriptions of gameplay and scoring in cricket, and an overview of the structure of kho kho matches involving chasing and defending teams.
Volleyball originated in 1895 in Massachusetts as an indoor game created by William G. Morgan. It later spread worldwide through the US military and beach volleyball emerged in the 1920s. Indoor volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1964 and beach volleyball was added in 1996. A regulation indoor volleyball court is 18m x 9m and divided by a net. Teams consist of 6 players and rotations occur when scoring a point. Key techniques include spiking, bumping, blocking, tipping, and serving.
Cricket is a sport played between two teams of 11 players each. The batting team aims to score runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets without getting out, while the fielding team tries to get batters out by catching balls or hitting wickets. A game consists of two innings. The fielding team wins by getting all batters of the opposing team out and closing their innings. Cricket is considered a gentleman's sport with no foul language. It is one of the most popular sports worldwide.

CRICKET
INTRODUCTION
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of
which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as
possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the
runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his
bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being
dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.
In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per
side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International
Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing
Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.
Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it
had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to
cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were
being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular
in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
Rules and game-play
Summary
Cricket is a bat and ball game, played between two teams of eleven players each. [3][4] One team
bats, attempting to score runs, while the other bowls and fields the ball, attempting to restrict the
scoring and dismiss the batsmen. The objective of the game is for a team to score more runs that
2. its opponent. In some forms of cricket, it may also be necessary to dismiss the opposition in order
to win the match, which would otherwise be drawn.
Format of the game
A cricket match is divided into periods called innings. During an innings (innings ends with "s" in
both singular and plural form), one team fields and the other bats. The two teams switch between
fielding and batting after each innings. All eleven members of the fielding team take the field, but
only two members of the batting team (two batsmen) are on the field at any given time.
The two batsmen face each other at opposite ends of the pitch, each behind a line on the pitch
known as a crease. The fielding team's eleven members stand outside the pitch, spread out
across the field.
Behind each batsman is a target called a wicket. One designated member of the fielding team,
called the bowler, is given a ball, and attempts to bowl the ball from one end of the pitch to the
wicket behind the batsman on the other side of the pitch. The batsman tries to prevent the ball
from hitting the wicket by striking the ball with a bat. If the bowler succeeds in hitting the wicket, or
if the ball, after being struck by the batsman, is caught by the fielding team before it touches the
ground, the batsman is dismissed. A dismissed batsman must leave the field, to be replaced by
another batsman from the batting team.
If the batsman is successful in striking the ball and the ball is not caught before it hits the ground,
the two batsmen may then try to score points (runs) for their team by running across the pitch,
grounding their bats behind each other's crease. Each crossing and grounding by both batsmen
is worth one run. The batsmen may attempt one run, multiple runs, or elect not to run at all. By
attempting runs, the batsmen risk dismissal, which can happen if the fielding team retrieves the
ball and hits a wicket with the ball before either batsman reaches the opposite crease.
If the batsman hits the bowled ball over the field boundary without the ball touching the field, the
batting team scores six runs and may not attempt more. If the ball touches the ground and then
reaches the boundary, the batting team scores four runs and may not attempt more. When the
batsmen have finished attempting their runs, the ball is returned to the bowler to be bowled again.
The bowler continues to bowl toward the same wicket, regardless of any switch of the batsmen's
positions.[5]
After a bowler has bowled six times (an over), another member of the fielding team is designated
as the new bowler. The new bowler bowls to the opposite wicket, and play continues. Fielding
team members may bowl multiple times during an innings, but may not bowl two overs in
succession.
The innings is complete when 10 of the 11 members of the batting team have been dismissed,
one always remaining "not out", or when a set number of overs has been played. The number of
innings and the number of overs per innings vary depending on the match.
Pitch, wickets and creases
3. Playing surface
Cricket is played on a grassy field. The Laws of Cricket do not specify the size or shape of the
field,] but it is often oval. In the centre of the field is a rectangular strip, known as the pitch.
The pitch is a flat surface 10 feet (3.0 m) wide, with very short grass that tends to be worn away
as the game progresses.[8] At either end of the pitch, 22 yards (20 m) apart, are placed wooden
targets, known as the wickets. These serve as a target for the bowling (also known as
the fielding) side and are defended by the batting side, which seeks to accumulate runs.
Stumps, bails and creases
Each wicket on the pitch consists of three wooden stumps placed vertically, in line with one
another. They are surmounted by two wooden crosspieces called bails; the total height of the
wicket including bails is 28.5 inches (720 mm) and the combined width of the three stumps,
including small gaps between them is 9 inches (230 mm).
4. Four lines, known as creases, are painted onto the pitch around the wicket areas to define the
batsman's "safe territory" and to determine the limit of the bowler's approach. These are called
the "popping" (or batting) crease, the bowling crease and two "return" creases.
The stumps are placed in line on the bowling creases and so these creases must be 22 yards
(20 m) apart. A bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) long, with the middle stump placed
dead centre. The popping crease has the same length, is parallel to the bowling crease and is 4
feet (1.2 m) in front of the wicket. The return creases are perpendicular to the other two; they are
adjoined to the ends of the popping crease and are drawn through the ends of the bowling crease
to a length of at least 8 feet (2.4 m).
When bowling the ball, the bowler's back foot in his "delivery stride" must land within the two
return creases while at least some part of his front foot must land on or behind the popping
crease. If the bowler breaks this rule, the umpire calls "No ball".
The importance of the popping crease to the batsman is that it marks the limit of his safe territory.
He can be dismissed stumped or run out (see Dismissals below) if the wicket is broken while he
is "out of his ground".
Bat and ball
Two different types of cricket balls:
i) A used white ball. White balls are mainly utilised in limited overs cricket, especially in matches played at night,
under floodlights (left).
ii) A used red ball, Red balls are utilised in Test cricket and first-class cricket and some other forms of cricket
(right).
NB Both balls are the same size.
The essence of the sport is that a bowler delivers the ball from his end of the pitch towards the
batsman who, armed with a bat is "on strike" at the other end.
The bat is made of wood (usually White Willow) and has the shape of a blade topped by a
cylindrical handle. The blade must not be more than 4.25 inches (108 mm) wide and the total
length of the bat not more than 38 inches (970 mm).
The ball is a hard leather-seamed spheroid, with a circumference of 9 inches (230 mm). The
5. hardness of the ball, which can be delivered at speeds of more than 90 miles per hour
(140 km/h), is a matter for concern and batsmen wear protective clothing
including pads (designed to protect the knees and shins), batting gloves for the hands,
ahelmet for the head and a box inside the trousers (to protect the crotch area). Some batsmen
wear additional padding inside their shirts and trousers such as thigh pads, arm pads, rib
protectors and shoulder pads. The ball has a "seam": six rows of stitches attaching the leather
shell of the ball to the string and cork interior. The seam on a new ball is prominent, and helps the
bowler propel it in a less predictable manner. During cricket matches, the quality of the ball
changes to a point where it is no longer usable, and during this decline its properties alter and
thus influence the match.
Umpires and scorers
The game on the field is regulated by two umpires, one of whom stands behind the wicket at the
bowler's end, the other in a position called "square leg", a position 15–20 metres to the side of the
"on strike" batsman. The role of the umpires is to adjudicate on . Umpires also decide on the
suitability of the playing conditions and can interrupt or even abandon the match due to
circumstances likely to endanger the players, such as a damp pitch or deterioration of the light.
Off the field and in televised matches, there is often a third umpire who can make decisions on
certain incidents with the aid of video evidence. The third umpire is mandatory under the playing
conditions for Test matches and limited overs internationals played between two ICC full
members. These matches also have amatch referee whose job is to ensure that play is within
the Laws of cricket and the spirit of the game.
The match details, including runs and dismissals, are recorded by two officialscorers, one
representing each team. The scorers are directed by the hand signals of an umpire. For example,
the umpire raises a forefinger to signal that the batsman is out (has been dismissed); he raises
both arms above his head if the batsman has hit the ball for six runs. The scorers are required by
the Laws of cricket to record all runs scored, wickets taken and overs bowled; in practice, they
also note significant amounts of additional data relating to the game.
Innings
The innings (ending with 's' in both singular and plural form) is the term used for the collective
performance of the batting side.[9] In theory, all eleven members of the batting side take a turn to
bat but, for various reasons, an innings can end before they all do so. Depending on the type of
match being played, each team has one or two innings apiece.
The main aim of the bowler, supported by his fielders, is to dismiss the batsman. A batsman when
6. dismissed is said to be "out" and that means he must leave the field of play and be replaced by
the next batsman on his team. When ten batsmen have been dismissed (i.e., are out), then the
whole team is dismissed and the innings is over. The last batsman, the one who has not been
dismissed, is not allowed to continue alone as there must always be two batsmen "in". This
batsman is termed "not out".
An innings can end early for three reasons: because the batting side's captain has chosen to
"declare" the innings closed (which is a tactical decision), or because the batting side has
achieved its target and won the game, or because the game has ended prematurely due to bad
weather or running out of time. In each of these cases the team's innings ends with two "not out"
batsmen, unless the innings is declared closed at the fall of a wicket and the next batsman has
not joined in the play.
In limited overs cricket, there might be two batsmen still "not out" when the last of the allotted
overs has been bowled.
Overs
The bowler bowls the ball in sets of six deliveries (or "balls") and each set of six balls is called
an over. This name came about because the umpire calls "Over!" when six balls have been
bowled. At this point, another bowler is deployed at the other end, and the fielding side changes
ends while the batsmen do not. A bowler cannot bowl two successive overs, although a bowler
can bowl unchanged at the same end for several overs. The batsmen do not change ends and so
the one who was non-striker is now the striker and vice-versa. The umpires also change positions
so that the one who was at square leg now stands behind the wicket at the non-striker's end
and vice-versa.
Team structure
A team consists of eleven players. Depending on his or her primary skills, a player may be
classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A well-balanced team usually has five or six
specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers. Teams nearly always include a
specialist wicket-keeper because of the importance of this fielding position. Each team is headed
by a captain who is responsible for making tactical decisions such as determining the batting
order, the placement of fielders and the rotation of bowlers.
A player who excels in both batting and bowling is known as an all-rounder. One who excels as a
batsman and wicket-keeper is known as a "wicket-keeper/batsman", sometimes regarded as a
type of all-rounder. True all-rounders are rare as most players focus on either batting or bowling
skills.
Bowling
7. The bowler reaches his delivery stride by means of a "run-up", although some bowlers with a very
slow delivery take no more than a couple of steps before bowling. A fast bowler needs momentum
and takes quite a long run-up, running very fast as he does so.
The fastest bowlers can deliver the ball at a speed of over 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) and they
sometimes rely on sheer speed to try and defeat the batsman, who is forced to react very quickly.
Other fast bowlers rely on a mixture of speed and guile. Some fast bowlers make use of the seam
of the ball so that it "curves" or "swings" in flight. This type of delivery can deceive a batsman into
mistiming his shot so that the ball touches the edge of the bat and can then be "caught behind" by
the wicketkeeper or a slip fielder.
At the other end of the bowling scale is the "spinner" who bowls at a relatively slow pace and
relies entirely on guile to deceive the batsman. A spinner will often "buy his wicket" by "tossing
one up" (in a slower, higher parabolic path) to lure the batsman into making a poor shot. The
batsman has to be very wary of such deliveries as they are often "flighted" or spun so that the ball
will not behave quite as he expects and he could be "trapped" into getting himself out.
In between the pacemen and the spinners are the "medium pacers" who rely on persistent
accuracy to try and contain the rate of scoring and wear down the batsman's concentration.
All bowlers are classified according to their looks or style. The classifications, as with much
cricket terminology, can be very confusing. Hence, a bowler could be classified as LF, meaning
he is a left arm fast bowler; or as LBG, meaning he is a right arm spin bowler who bowls
deliveries that are called a "leg break" and a "Googly".
During the bowling action the elbow may be held at any angle and may bend further, but may not
straighten out. If the elbow straightens illegally then the square-leg umpire may call no-ball: this is
known as "throwing" or "chucking", and can be difficult to detect. The current laws allow a bowler
to straighten his arm 15 degrees or less.
Fielding
8. All eleven players on the fielding side take the field together. One of them is the wicketkeeper aka "keeper" who operates behind the wicket being defended by the batsman on strike.
Wicket-keeping is normally a specialist occupation and his primary job is to gather deliveries that
the batsman does not hit, so that the batsmen cannot run byes. He wears special gloves (he is
the only fielder allowed to do so), a box over the groin, and pads to cover his lower legs. Owing to
his position directly behind the striker, the wicket-keeper has a good chance of getting a batsman
out caught off a fine edge from the bat. He is the only player who can get a batsman out stumped.
Apart from the one currently bowling, the other nine fielders are tactically deployed by the team
captain in chosen positions around the field. These positions are not fixed but they are known by
specific and sometimes colourful names such as "slip", "third man", "silly mid on" and "long leg".
There are always many unprotected areas.
The captain is the most important member of the fielding side as he determines all the tactics
including who should bowl (and how); and he is responsible for "setting the field", though usually
in consultation with the bowler.
In all forms of cricket, if a fielder gets injured or becomes ill during a match, a substitute is allowed
to field instead of him. The substitute cannot bowl, act as a captain or keep wicket. The substitute
leaves the field when the injured player is fit to return.
Batting
9. At any one time, there are two batsmen in the playing area. One takes station at the striker's end
to defend the wicket as above and to score runs if possible. His partner, the non-striker, is at the
end where the bowler is operating.
Batsmen come in to bat in a batting order, decided by the team captain. The first two batsmen –
the "openers" – usually face the hostile bowling from fresh fast bowlers with a new ball. The top
batting positions are usually given to the most competent batsmen in the team, and the team's
bowlers - who are typically, but not always, less skilled as batsmen - typically bat last. The preannounced batting order is not mandatory; when a wicket falls any player who has not yet batted
may be sent in next.
If a batsman "retires" (usually due to injury) and cannot return, he is actually "not out" and his
retirement does not count as a dismissal, though in effect he has been dismissed because his
innings is over. Substitute batsmen are not allowed.
A skilled batsman can use a wide array of "shots" or "strokes" in both defensive and attacking
mode. The idea is to hit the ball to best effect with the flat surface of the bat's blade. If the ball
touches the side of the bat it is called an "edge". Batsmen do not always seek to hit the ball as
hard as possible, and a good player can score runs just by making a deft stroke with a turn of the
wrists or by simply "blocking" the ball but directing it away from fielders so that he has time to
take a run.
There is a wide variety of shots played in cricket. The batsman's repertoire includes strokes
named according to the style of swing and the direction aimed: e.g., "cut", "drive", "hook", "pull".
A batsman is not required to play a shot; in the event that he believes the ball will not hit his
wicket and there is no opportunity to score runs, he can "leave" the ball to go through to the
10. wicketkeeper. Equally, he does not have to attempt a run when he hits the ball with his bat. He
can deliberately use his leg to block the ball and thereby "pad it away" but this is risky because of
the leg before wicket rule.
In the event of an injured batsman being fit to bat but not to run, the umpires and the fielding
captain may allow another member of the batting side to be arunner. The runner's only task is to
run between the wickets instead of the injured batsman. The runner is required to wear and carry
exactly the same equipment as the incapacitated batsman. It is possible for both batsmen to have
runners.
Runs
The primary concern of the batsman on strike (i.e., the "striker") is to prevent the ball hitting the
wicket and secondarily to score runs by hitting the ball with his bat so that he and his partner
have time to run from one end of the pitch to the other before the fielding side can return the ball.
To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the crease with either their bats or
their bodies (the batsmen carry their bats as they run). Each completed run increments the score.
More than one run can be scored from a single hit; but, while hits worth one to three runs are
common, the size of the field is such that it is usually difficult to run four or more. To compensate
for this, hits that reach the boundary of the field are automatically awarded four runs if the ball
touches the ground en route to the boundary or six runs if the ball clears the boundary without
touching the ground within the boundary. The batsmen do not need to run if the ball reaches or
crosses the boundary.
Hits for five are unusual and generally rely on the help of "overthrows" by a fielder returning the
ball. If an odd number of runs is scored by the striker, the two batsmen have changed ends, and
11. the one who was non-striker is now the striker. Only the striker can score individual runs, but all
runs are added to the team's total.
The decision to attempt a run is ideally made by the batsman who has the better view of the ball's
progress, and this is communicated by calling: "yes", "no" and "wait" are often heard.
Running is a calculated risk because if a fielder breaks the wicket with the ball while the nearest
batsman is out of his ground (i.e., he does not have part of his body or bat in contact with the
ground behind the popping crease), the batsman is run out.
A team's score is reported in terms of the number of runs scored and the number of batsmen that
have been dismissed. For example, if five batsmen are out and the team has scored 224 runs,
they are said to have scored 224 for the loss of 5 wickets (commonly shortened to "224 for five"
and written 224/5 or, in Australia, "five for 224" and 5/224).
Extras
Additional runs can be gained by the batting team as extras (called "sundries" in Australia) due to
errors made by the fielding side. This is achieved in four ways:
• No ball: a penalty of one extra that is conceded by the bowler if he breaks the rules of
bowling either by (a) using an inappropriate arm action; (b) overstepping the popping
crease; (c) having a foot outside the return crease. In addition, the bowler has to re-bowl
the ball. In limited overs matches, a no ball is called if the bowling team's field setting
fails to comply with the restrictions. In shorter formats of the game (20–20, ODI) the free
hit rule has been introduced. The ball following a front foot no-ball will be a free-hit for the
batsman, whereby he is safe from losing his wicket except for being run-out.
• Wide: a penalty of one extra that is conceded by the bowler if he bowls so that the ball is
out of the batsman's reach; as with a no ball, a wide must be re-bowled. If a wide ball
crosses the boundary, five runs are awarded to the batting side (one run for the wide,
and four for the boundary).
• Bye: extra(s) awarded if the batsman misses the ball and it goes past the wicketkeeper to
give the batsmen time to run in the conventional way (note that one mark of a good
wicketkeeper is one who restricts the tally of byes to a minimum).
• Leg bye: extra(s) awarded if the ball hits the batsman's body, but not his bat, while
attempting a legitimate shot, and it goes away from the fielders to give the batsmen time
to run in the conventional way.
When the bowler has bowled a no ball or a wide, his team incurs an additional penalty because
that ball (i.e., delivery) has to be bowled again and hence the batting side has the opportunity to
score more runs from this extra ball. The batsmen have to run (i.e., unless the ball goes to the
boundary for four) to claim byes and leg byes but these only count towards the team total, not to
the striker's individual total for which runs must be scored off the bat.
Dismissals
There are ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed; five relatively common and five
extremely rare. The common forms of dismissal are "bowled", "caught", "leg before wicket" (lbw),
"run out", and "stumped". Less common methods are "hit wicket", "hit the ball twice", "obstructed
12. the field", "handled the ball" and "timed out" – these are almost unknown in the professional
game.
If the dismissal is obvious (for example when "bowled" and in most cases of "caught") the
batsman will voluntarily leave the field without the umpire needing to dismiss them. Otherwise
before the umpire will award a dismissal and declare the batsman to be out, a member of the
fielding side (generally the bowler) must "appeal". This is invariably done by asking (or shouting)
"how's that?" – normally reduced to howzat? If the umpire agrees with the appeal, he will raise a
forefinger and say "Out!". Otherwise he will shake his head and say "Not out". Appeals are
particularly loud when the circumstances of the claimed dismissal are unclear, as is always the
case with lbw and often with run outs and stumpings.
• Bowled: the bowler has hit the wicket with the delivery and the wicket has "broken" with
at least one bail being dislodged (note that if the ball hits the wicket without dislodging a
bail it is not out).[10]
• Caught: the batsman has hit the ball with his bat, or with his hand which was holding the
bat, and the ball has been caught before it has touched the ground by a member of the
fielding side.[11]
• Leg before wicket (lbw): the ball has hit the batsman's body (including his clothing, pads
etc. but not the bat, or a hand holding the bat) when it would have gone on to hit the
stumps. This rule exists mainly to prevent the batsman from guarding his wicket with his
legs instead of the bat. To be given out lbw, the ball must not bounce outside leg stump
or strike the batsmen outside the line of leg-stump. It may bounce outside off-stump. The
batsman may only be dismissed lbw by a ball striking him outside the line of off-stump if
he has not made a genuine attempt to play the ball with his bat. [12]
• Run out: a member of the fielding side has broken or "put down" the wicket with the ball
while the nearest batsman was out of his ground; this usually occurs by means of an
accurate throw to the wicket while the batsmen are attempting a run, although a batsman
can be given out Run out even when he is not attempting a run; he merely needs to be
out of his ground.[13]
• Stumped is similar except that it is done by the wicketkeeper after the batsman has
missed the bowled ball and has stepped out of his ground, and is not attempting a run. [14]
• Hit wicket: a batsman is out hit wicket if he dislodges one or both bails with his bat,
person, clothing or equipment in the act of receiving a ball, or in setting off for a run
having just received a ball.[15]
• Hit the ball twice is very unusual and was introduced as a safety measure to counter
dangerous play and protect the fielders. The batsman may legally play the ball a second
time only to stop the ball hitting the wicket after he has already played it. [16]
• Obstructing the field: another unusual dismissal which tends to involve a batsman
deliberately getting in the way of a fielder.[17]
• Handled the ball: a batsman must not deliberately touch the ball with his hand, for
example to protect his wicket. Note that the batsman's hand or glove counts as part of
13. the bat while the hand is holding the bat, so batsmen are frequently caught off their
gloves (i.e. the ball hits, and is deflected by, the glove and can then be caught). [18]
• Timed out usually means that the next batsman did not arrive at the wicket within three
minutes of the previous one being dismissed.[19]
In the vast majority of cases, it is the striker who is out when a dismissal occurs. If the non-striker
is dismissed it is usually by being run out, but he could also be dismissed for obstructing the field,
handling the ball or being timed out.
A batsman may leave the field without being dismissed. If injured or taken ill the batsman may
temporarily retire, and be replaced by the next batsman. This is recorded as retired hurt or retired
ill. The retiring batsman is not out, and may resume the innings later. An unimpaired batsman
may retire, and this is treated as being dismissed retired out; no player is credited with the
dismissal. Batsmen cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped or hit wicket off
a no ball. They cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, or hit the ball twice off a wide.
Some of these modes of dismissal can occur without the bowler bowling a delivery. The batsman
who is not on strike may be run out by the bowler if he leaves his crease before the bowler bowls,
and a batsman can be out obstructing the field or retired out at any time. Timed out is, by its
nature, a dismissal without a delivery. With all other modes of dismissal, only one batsman can be
dismissed per ball bowled.
Innings closed
An innings is closed when:
• Ten of the eleven batsmen are out (have been dismissed); in this case, the team is said
to be "all out"
• The team has only one batsman left who can bat, one or more of the remaining players
being unavailable owing to injury, illness or absence; again, the team is said to be "all
out"
• The team batting last reaches the score required to win the match
• The predetermined number of overs has been bowled (in a one-day match only,
commonly 50 overs; or 20 in Twenty20)
• A captain declares his team's innings closed while at least two of his batsmen are not out
(this does not apply in one-day limited over matches)
Results
If the team that bats last is all out having scored fewer runs than their opponents, the team is said
to have "lost by n runs" (where n is the difference between the number of runs scored by the
teams). If the team that bats last scores enough runs to win, it is said to have "won by n wickets",
where n is the number of wickets left to fall. For instance a team that passes its opponents' score
having only lost six wickets would have won "by four wickets".
In a two-innings-a-side match, one team's combined first and second innings total may be less
than the other side's first innings total. The team with the greater score is then said to have won
14. by an innings and n runs, and does not need to bat again: n is the difference between the two
teams' aggregate scores.
If the team batting last is all out, and both sides have scored the same number of runs, then the
match is a tie; this result is quite rare in matches of two innings a side. In the traditional form of
the game, if the time allotted for the match expires before either side can win, then the game is
declared a draw.
If the match has only a single innings per side, then a maximum number of deliveries for each
innings is often imposed. Such a match is called a "limited overs" or "one-day" match, and the
side scoring more runs wins regardless of the number of wickets lost, so that a draw cannot
occur. If this kind of match is temporarily interrupted by bad weather, then a complex
mathematical formula, known as the Duckworth-Lewis method after its developers, is often used
to recalculate a new target score. A one-day match can also be declared a "no-result" if fewer
than a previously agreed number of overs have been bowled by either team, in circumstances
that make normal resumption of play impossible; for example, wet weather.
