Cricket questions and answers...
Cricket is a bat and ball game played between two teams of 22 players on a large circular or oval shaped grass field. There are no fixed dimensions for the sphere but its diameter usually varies between 137 m and 150 m. It is centered on a 20-metre pitch on a cricket field, with two wickets, including a ball bat at three stumps. For each leg of the game or innings, a batting side attempts to score as many runs as possible after hitting the cricket ball with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side attempt to stop it and get each player out. The game is decided by two umpires who are also a third umpire who is already a player of the game or an experienced player.
