Kyttn,
cricket is a game played by 2 teams of 11 players on a pitch 22 yards long, a set of 3 stumps 9 inches wide and 28 inches high at each end. on top of the stumps are 2 bails.

There are 2 batsmen one at each end of the pitch. The fielding side spreads out to stop the batsmen hitting the ball and running, each time they both run and reach the other end 1 run is scored. if the ball crosses the boundary on the full it scores 6 runs and 4 runs if it has touched the ground before hand.

One bowler bowls an over which consiosts of 6 balls, he tries to dismiss the batsman by hitting the stumps (bowled) having him caught without the ball hitting the ground first and a few other ways.

It is a fairly complicated game but in the longer version, each side has 2 innings and the one with the highest combined total wins.
10 batsmen have to be dismissed to complete the innings.

Cricket is a major world sport and is played in many countries including, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, all through the West Indies, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe. Some is played in the US and Canada but it isnt big there. Australia holds the world one day cricket title. The World cup of cricket will be played in South Africa later this year.
