The innings are decided upon, and each team takes turns to bat and bowl. The game involves
one bowler, two batsmen, one wicket keeper, and other elders on the eld at one time. Select Month

The bowler, wicket keeper, and elders try to get the batsmen out as soon as possible one by
one to clear off the entire team, while the batsmen try to score as much as possible by using
the least number of players on their team.

Batsmen can be made out in various ways such as hitting the wickets with the ball when
bowling, catching the batsman’s shot before the ball hits the ground, hitting the wickets
before the batsman can run to the other end of the pitch, or hitting the batsman’s leg in front
of the wicket.

Batsmen try to score as much as possible by hitting the ball and running between the
wickets, and making it to the other end before the elder can hit the wickets with the ball.
Each time one pitch length is covered, it brings 1 run to the team’s score. Other ways to score
include hitting the ball right to the boundary of the ground without the ball getting got,
which brings 4 runs; or hitting the ball over the boundary on the full, which brings 6 runs.

There could be extra runs or chances provided to the batting team in case of any bowling
faults from the bowler’s side. Some of them include no ball, wide ball, bye, and leg bye.
Penalty runs can also be awarded for various breaches of the laws, related to unfair play or
player conduct.

Basic skills required for playing cricket

Now that you know about the basic rules of the game, you also need to know the skills that you
should have if you want to play the game. The most basic skills that one must have to play the
game of cricket include having a good ability to throw and catch the ball, having a good batting
and bowling technique, having a good hand-eye coordination, having the ability to concentrate
for longer periods of time, and having the ability to perform even when under pressure. So, how
can one attain these skills? Here is a small guide to help you.

Take a tennis or golf ball and stand 4 meters away from a concrete ball. Hit the ball into the
wall, and when it rebounds, hit it again. Continue this exercise for as long as you can.

Using the same technique, you can hit the ball with a bat. Face side on to the wall, feet
shoulder width apart, with your bat lifted. When you hit the ball, keep your front elbow up
and hit straight through the ball so that it bounces once before hitting the wall.

Stand side on the wall side with your dominant hand at the back. Hold the ball with both
hands under your chin, and turn your head sideways to face the wall. Rock back and forth,
transferring weight from the front foot to the back, in a smooth consistent motion. As you
rock back, extend your back arm; and as you rock front, extend your front arm. Pull down
and let your back arm come over your head. Release the ball in the direction of the wall.

Stand 3 meters away from a concrete wall. Throw a ball at the wall, clap your hands, and
catch the ball with two hands as it rebounds off the wall. Using the same technique, you can
try catching the ball with one hand; but do so while standing 10 meters away from the wall,
instead of 3 meters.

With this basic knowledge, and these basic exercises, you should be good enough to start off with
playing a simple cricket game. But remember, you need to patient and start slowly. Getting the
technique right is important rst, before you worry about the accuracy of your play. Also
remember, consistent practice is important. Torq03 understands this, which is why it offers a
