The Game I Like the Most – Cricket
English Essay on “The Game I Like the Most Cricket”
Cricket has become very popular and my favourite outdoor game. It is played with bats, ball and wickets, between two sides of eleven players, one side batting and the other side fielding. Each side plays two innings but now-a-days, one inning game is also popular. Usually a Test Cricket match lasts for five days but one day Cricket in which each team bowls 50 over’s has also become popular. The game is controlled by two umpires.

Total length of the bails is 8 inches. The bat which is made of willow, is 38 inches long, 4¼ inches wide weighing 2 pounds 4 ounces.
The field is 187 yards long and 170 yards wide. The boundary line is 75 yards away from the pitch. The bowling crease is 8 ft 8 inches in length with stumps in the center. The popping crease is 4 feet from the wicket. The ball is under 9 inches in circumference weighing 5Y2 to 5% oz. In the game two batsmen are at the wickets at the same time, one run being scored when the batsmen have run to the opposite wickets. Bowling takes place from each wicket in a series of six deliveries. This series is called over and a maiden over is that in which no runs have been scored (no ball and wades are disregarded).
The bowler tries to hit the wicket with the ball and dislodge the bails and the batsman tries to prevent it with his bat and also to hit the ball out of the way of the fielders so that he can run between the wickets. A bowler can run 20 yards at the most before bowling.
