Cricket Quotes:- 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 run 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.
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 end, and the teams swap roles.
