What the heck are the rules for cricket???????

Answer 1

Some basic rules:

There two teams (pretty normal so far)
the captains toss a coin to decide who will bat first (that is face deliveries from the other team)
the captain who wins the toss and decides whether he wants his team to bat or field.
One team then goes out to field and the other sends it's first (usually best, although the # 3 position is usually the best batsman in the team) batsmen out to face deliveries (or as they are called 'balls').
The fielding team tries to 'dismiss' or 'get out' the batsmen(11 in all, won't list them all)

There are a number of ways to dismiss a batsman:
If he hits the ball and a fielder catches it on the full (before it hits the ground).
If the bowler (man throwing the balls) get through the batsman's defence and breaks the wicket (that's the three sticks behind the batsman.
then it get complicated really, there's another 9 ways of getting out, all have got to do with the wicket and the ball and what happens to them.

The team batting first tries to make as many runs as possible, the fielding teams tries to stop them. when 10 of the 11 batsmen are dismissed, then they swap and the fielding team comes out and tries to equal or better the first score.

In test cricket they both bat and field twice. In 1 Day cricket (as in the world cup), they only have 300 deliveries each to make their scores.

Hope this helps.
