Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 20-meter (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.There are various formats ranging from Twenty20, played over a few hours with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs, to Test matches, played over five days with unlimited overs and the teams each batting for two innings of unlimited length. Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colors. In addition to the basic kit, some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core which is layered with tightly wound string.Cricket is a popular sport in many countries, particularly in England, Australia, India, Pakistan, the West Indies, and Southern Africa. It is played by people of all ages and at all levels from amateur club cricket to international Test matches. The laws of cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.Cricket has close historical ties with Australian rules football and many players have competed at top level in both sports. The Melbourne Football Club was founded the following year, 1859, andCricket is thought to have been played in England as far back as the 16th century. It is first recorded in the 1597 court case Crown v Dudley & Stephens, in which two men were accused of murder after killing and eating a shipwrecked colleague. The case was not proven, but the jury's verdict of "not guilty" on the grounds of "necessity" established a legal precedent which effectively decriminalized the act of cannibalism in certain circumstances.The game rapidly gained popularity and by the end of the 18th century was being played at village fairs and country shows throughout England. The first reference to cricket being played as a game rather than a sport comes from a court case in 1729, in which a schoolmaster was fined for playing cricket on a Sunday. The game had become so popular by this time that a team of professional players was formed in 1787, under the leadership of Hambledon Club captain William Barber.The first reference to cricket in America is recorded in a 1751 bylaw of Charlestown, Massachusetts, which banned the playing of the game within 80 yards of the town's meeting house.The game began to spread to other countries in the 19th century, and by the beginning of the 20st century it had been established in most of the world's Test-playing nations. The first international match was played between Australia and England in 1877, and the first Test match (so called because it was played to a finish rather than for a certain number of days) was played in 1880.Cricket is now played in more than 120 countries, and the game's governing body, the ICC, has more than 100 member nations. The sport is most popular in the countries of the Commonwealth, with more than two billion fans worldwide.Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played on a cricket field (see image, right) between two teams of eleven players each. The field is usually circular or oval in shape and the edge of the playing area is marked by a boundary, which may be a fence, part of the stands, a rope, a painted line or a combination of these; the boundary must if the ball hits it, runs out of the field or passes out of the field on the full.The object of the game is to score runs by hitting the ball with a bat and then running between the wickets, while the fielding team tries to prevent this and dismiss the batsman. A run is scored when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and runs to the other end of the pitch, crossing the popping crease in the process. The batting team continues to bat until all ten of their players are out, at which point the teams swap roles and the fielding team tries to score runs off the new batting team.The game is played in innings (the word "innings" is both singular and plural). An innings is divided into overs, and each over is bowled by a different bowler from the fielding team. The bowler delivers the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, and the batsman tries to hit it with his bat. If the batsman hits the ball, he may run to the other end of the pitch and score a run. If the ball hits the stumps but does not dislodge the bails, the batsman is not out (see image 1, below). If the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, the batsman is out and must leave the field. A batsman may also be out if he hits the ball and it is caught by a fielder before it hits the ground, or if he hits the ball and it hits him on the body or his bat and is then caught by a fielder.The team that scores the most runs in their innings wins the match. If both teams score the same number of runs, the match is a tie.Test cricket is the highest and most prestigious form of the game, and is played between national teams with "Test status", as determined by the ICC. A Test match is played over five days, and each team bats and bowls twice. The format of the game has changed significantly over the years, but the basic principles remain the same.One Day Internationals (ODIs) are played over 50 overs per side, and are generally considered the second-highest level of the game.
