Player: Official Cricket Rules

Cricket is believed to have begun possibly as early as the 13th century as a game in which country boys bowled at a tree stump or at the hurdle gate into a sheep pen. This gate consisted of two uprights and a crossbar resting on the slotted tops; the crossbar was called a bail and the entire gate a wicket. The fact that the bail could be dislodged when the wicket was struck made this preferable to the stump, which name was later applied to the hurdle uprights. Early manuscripts differ about the size of the wicket, which acquired a third stump in the 1770s, but by 1706 the pitch—the area between the wickets—was 22 yards long.

RCL T20 2017 cricket involves two teams with 11 players on each side. The captain who wins the toss decides whether his team bats or bowls first. If they bat first , their aim is to score a lot of runs and make sure the other team does not reach that score. Three functions of the players are 1. BATSMEN, 2. BOWLING 3. FIELDING.

Batsmen - one who scores runs of the balls bowled by the bowler.

Bowler - One who bowls, and tries to get the batsmen "out" (dismissed from the ground).

Fielder - Players (10) who assist the bowler in achieving his goal, and prevent the batsmen from scoring runs

Score Runs

The aim of the batsmen is to score runs. One of the main cricket rules is that for batsmen to score runs they must run to each other’s end of the pitch (from one end to the other). In doing this one run is scored. Cricket rules state they may run multiple runs per shot. As well as running they can also score runs by hitting boundaries. A boundary scores the batsmen either 4 or 6 runs. A four is scored by hitting the ball past the boundary after hitting the ground while a six is scored by hitting the ball past the boundary on the full. Kota Chambal Tiger Results cricket rules also state that once a 4 or 6 has been scored any runs physically ran by the batsman are null & void. They will only obtain the 4 or 6 runs.

Player Cricket Rules

• Cricket is a game played between two teams made up of eleven players each. There is also a reserve player called a “twelfth man” who is used should a player be injured during play.
• The twelfth man is not allowed to bowl, bat, wicket keep or captain the team. His sole duty is to act as a substitute fielder.
• The original player is free to return to the game as soon as they have recovered from their injury.
• To apply the law and make sure the cricket rules are upheld throughout the game there are two umpires in place during games. Umpires are responsible for making decisions and notifying the scorers of these decisions.
• Two umpires are in place on the playing field while there is also a third umpire off the field who is in charge of decisions.
• This is where the call is too close for the on field umpires and they refer it to the third umpire who reviews slow motion video replays to make a decision.
