What does the game cricket mean?

Question

I need to know. >.<

Answer 1

Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field, roughly oval in shape, in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch. At each end of the pitch is a construction of three parallel wooden stakes (known as stumps) driven vertically into the ground, with two small crosspieces (known as bails) laid across the top of them. This wooden structure is called a wicket.

A player from the fielding team, known as the bowler, hurls a hard, fist-sized, cork-centred, leather-covered ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching a player from the opposing team, the batsman, whose job it is to defend his wicket from being struck by the ball. In defence of the wicket, the batsman uses a wooden cricket bat to deflect the incoming missile. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the batted ball and throw it back toward the pitch in an effort to "dismiss" the batsman. The batsman, if he or she does not get out immediately (by having his wicket struck by a bowled ball, by having his batted ball caught in the air, etc.), may then choose to run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the non-striker), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each exchange of ends successfully completed constitutes a run, and the match is won by the team that scores more runs.
