rules of cricket?

Question

can someone please tell me the ways in which a team can win cricket? so confusing all these rules.

Answer 1

There are 2 ways your team can win:

Firstly, by batting first and getting the opposite team out before they exceed the total number of runs your team made. Or secondly, by batting second and exceeding the total number of runs that the opposition made.

So, basically, 2 teams, each with 11 players. Team A decides to bat first, so 2 players from A come out and bat, while all 11 players from Team B come out on to the ground to field. They try and get the batsmen from A out. Once a batsman from A is out, another one comes to replace him, until there are no more. Once they're all out or the maximum number of balls have been bowled, team A's innings (turn) is over, and the teams swap roles. Lets say A managed to make 200 runs. Team B must make 201 or more to win.

So now 2 batsmen from B come out to bat. A are fielding. If B make more than 200 runs within their maximum number of balls, they've won the game. However, if all of B's batsmen get out before the total runs have reached 200, A have won the game.

That's about as simply as it can be explained :-)

Answer 2

You win a cricket match, by scoring more runs that the other team.

A team's inning is over, when 10 of their players are out. The main ways of being out are 1. a delivery hits the wicket, 2 the ball is caught after being hit, before hitting the ground, 3. the batter uses his leg to prevent the ball hitting the wicket (in the opinion of the umpire).

If you don't get the 10 opposing players out, there is also another limit on their inning, either based on duration or the total number of deliveries (depends on the format of the game). Shorter formats are generally limit to number of deliveries, longer games limited by number of days.

Answer 4

Cricket is played by 2 teams of 11 players each...

there are two versions of cricket one day match (1 day )and test match (5days)

one day match lasts for 50 overs (the bowler bowls 6 balls or 6 times in an over)

first the team bats and another team bowls...

the team batting first scores runs eg) say they score 200 runs ...

now the next team bats and they have to score 201 to win the match...

thus if they score more than 200 they win or else they lose the game...

Answer 5

From a team point of view nobody rules the cricket world now. The last two series against India has shown that Australia has come back to the pack. In the coming years South Africa will get to number one but I see no team dominating the way Australia did for such a long stretch of time. In purely monetary terms and the influence that that brings, India clearly is the dominant force in decision making. The old adage of money talks and people walk rings true.

Answer 6

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.

Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of years. It originated in its modern form in England and is most popular in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.[1][2][3] More than a hundred cricket-playing nations are recognised by the International Cricket Council.[4] In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is the most popular sport. It is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. There are also well-established amateur club competitions in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Kenya, Nepal and Argentina, among others.

The sport is followed with passion in many different parts of the world. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most notorious being the Basil D'Oliveira affair which led to the banning of South Africa from sporting events. Other examples include the Bodyline series, played between England and Australia in the early 1930s, and the 1981 underarm bowling incident involving Australia and New Zealand.

Answer 7

The team that scores more runs than the other( opposition) team is the winner both in a limited over match or two innings match but here the runs scored in both innings will be added and the team that made more runs is the winning team.
