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.There are various formats ranging from Twenty20, played over a few hours with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs, to Test matches, played over five days with unlimited overs and the teams each batting for two innings of unlimited length. Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colors. In addition to the basic kit, some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core which is layered with tightly wound string.Cricket is a popular sport in many countries, particularly in the Commonwealth nations, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Australia. It is played at the professional level in numerous countries and is a popular recreational sport in many more. 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.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, be at least 4.57 meters (15 feet) from the pitch. There are also specified lengths for the pitch itself, the creases and the minimum size of the playing area.Cricket is played with a bat and ball and involves two main types of playing: batting and bowling. The batting team, who are the on-field team, attempt to score as many runs as possible while the bowling team, who are the off-field team, attempt to restrict the batting team and take wickets (dismiss the batsmen). When the batting team is "out", the bowling team has won.The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). There are currently 42 Laws which are grouped under five headings: General, Preamble, Batting, Bowling and Fielding.The main aim of the game is for the batting team to score more runs than the bowling team. The batting team score runs by hitting the ball with their bat and then running between the wickets. The bowling team try to stop the batsmen from scoring runs and to get them "out". There are a number of ways to get a batsman "out":The most common way for a batsman to be dismissed is "bowled". This is when the bowler bowls the ball and it hits the stumps and dislodges the bails.The batsman can also be "caught out". This is when the ball is hit by the bat and is then caught by a fielder before it hits the ground.Another way a batsman can be dismissed is "leg before wicket" (lbw). This is when the ball hits the batsman's pads (protective equipment) and would have hit the stumps but the batsman is given "out" because he is judged to have been "in the way" of the ball.The final way a batsman can be dismissed is "run out". This is when the batsman is running between the wickets and a fielder hits the stumps with the ball, dislodging the bails, before the batsman has reached the crease at the other end.The bowling team also has a number of ways to get the batsmen "out".
