Cricket facts
- One team, designated the batting team, attempts to score as many runs as possible, whilst their opponents field
- Each phase of play is called an innings
- After either ten batsmen have been dismissed or a set number of overs have been completed, the innings ends and the two teams then swap roles
- The winning team is the one that scores the most runs, including any extras gained, during their one or two innings
- At the start of each game, two batsmen and eleven fielders enter the field of play
- The play begins when a designated member of the fielding team, known as the bowler, delivers the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, towards a set of wooden stumps, in front of which stands one of the batsmen, known as the striker
- The striker's role is to prevent the ball from hitting the stumps by use of his bat, and simultaneously to strike it well enough to score runs
- The other batsman, known as the non-striker, waits at the opposite end of the pitch near the bowler
- The bowler's objectives are to prevent the scoring of runs and to dismiss the batsman
- A dismissed batsman must leave the field, and a teammate replaces him at the crease
