Study Notes

Cricket Basics

A cricket team consists of 11 players.

Scoring Runs

The batting side scores runs by hitting the ball and running between the wickets.
Runs can be scored through singles, doubles, triples, or boundaries (four runs) and sixes (six runs).

Umpires and Dismissals

The umpires enforce the rules and make decisions on dismissals, runs, and appeals.
The fielding side can dismiss a batter through various means, including:
- Bowled: when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails.
- The batting side can also be dismissed if ten batters have been dismissed.

Playing Field

The cricket playing field consists of a rectangular pitch with two sets of stumps (three vertical poles) and two bails (small pieces of wood) on top.

Stumps and Bails

The stumps are used to form the wickets, and the bails are placed on top to indicate whether the wicket is intact.
When the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, the batter is dismissed (bowled).

Third Umpire

The third umpire reviews certain decisions, such as dismissals, using technology like slow-motion replays and Hawk-Eye.
