Cricket scoring?!?!?!?!?

Question

can some please explain how scoring in this crazy game works! I would really like to learn more about this sport.

Answer 1

There are two things that you keep trck of in cricket 1) the number of wickets taken and 2) the number of runs scored.

Runs
A run is scored when both batsmen have sucessfully made it from one side of the pitch to the other after one of them has hit the ball. Each time this happens the team batting gets one point (a run).
Now, if the batsman is able to hit the ball and it gets all the way to the end of the field (the place known as he boundary) the teams scores four runs; his is known as a four.
If the ball is hit into the air ad travels all the way to the boundary without touching he ground then the batting team scores a six; this (you guessed it) is known as a six.

The number of wickets refer to the number of batsmen the bowler of the opposing them have been able to send back to the bech so to speak.

Try the website below, they explain the game well.

Ok i know this for sure because i have been playing cricket since i was little. Think of it like baseball.... getting one base gives u one run except u have two players at the pitch. one player with teh bat hits the ball and runs to the other side of the pitch while the other player goes to the other side. one exchange between one side is one run.... each side has three sticks called wickets.. if a fielder throws the ball and hits the wickets or gives it to another player to hit teh wcket before the player has crossed the line near the wickets called the crease, the batsman is out. so both players must get past the crease on their other sides to get runs. however many exchanges tehy get is one run. there is also a boundary line, if th eball goes over that line wihout being caught and bouncing inside teh field, u get 6 runs. if it crosses teh boundary through the field u get four runs. if it is caught u are out, and if it a fielded u jus run and exchange creases to get as many runs as u can get before getting out. hope this helped!1 its a bit hard to explain.

Answer 3

When the man runs to the wicket, it is a run, because he has run. If the offending team get the loving team out, it is a wicket, and that goes next to the runs, like 123-5, when you get to 10 wickets, it is time for a lemonade break, and then the other team plays.

Four runs for going over the rope, 6 for flying over the rope.

Answer 4

well abt the scoring u have to hit the ball and run across yr front line it same way its other side.. if u run accross the line one time u will get one run and if u hit the ball out of boundry u will get 4 run.. if u hit ball in the air and if it go out of boundry without pitching u will get 6 run.. scoring is totally depends how u hit the ball.

Answer 9

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

depends on how will team play
