Sport Description

The Field:

  • The field is a round area with a pitch in the middle.
  • A batsman stands across from the bowler on the pitch.

Intro:

  • The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible.
  • The game starts after a coin toss. The team that wins the toss can elect to field or bat first.

Game-play:

  • The fielding team shall have 4 players in the field and one bowler.
  • The bowler will roll the ball on the pitch.
  • The batsman will have to hit the ball with his bat.

How to get the batsman out:

  • Behind the batsman is a wicket.
  • The bowler can get the batsman out by hitting the wicket with his roll. (Thrown Out)
  • If the batsman hits the ball a catch by a fielder also gets him out.
    (Caught Out)
  • If the ball touches the field a fieldsman will have to through the ball on the wicket to get the batsman out.

Scoring:

  • If the batsman hits the ball he is eligible to score.
  • He must run from one side of the pitch to the other to score a point.
  • He can do this as many times as he wants until a ball hits the wicket.
  • This scores one point.
  • If the ball hits the walls of the field 4 points are scored
  • If the ball goes out of the field 6 points are scored.

Switching Sides:

  • The offensive team will keep batting in a set order until all five batsmen are out. 
  • Then the teams will switch sides and the fielding team will try to pass the teams score.

Overtime:

  • If a game is tied after both teams have bat (known as an inning) both teams will play again but with only one batsman. The team which fielded first will bat.
  • The process is repeated until there is a winner.
