Crazy Cricket Fun
Have you ever played, or even heard of, cricket? Just in case, here are some refresher rules for you. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game that is played between two teams of eleven players. At the center of the cricket field is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with a wicket (which is made up of three wooden stumps) at each end of the field. One team is designated the batting team, and attempts to score as many runs as possible in their opponent's field. After 10 rounds, or innings, the two teams swap roles. The winning team is the one that scores the most runs during their innings. Sound simple enough?

Bat Ball Cricket Games 2017
Bat-and-ball games (or safe haven games) are field games played by two opposing teams, in which the action starts when the defending team throws a ball at a dedicated player of the attacking team, who tries to hit it with a bat.[1] The best known modern bat-and-ball games are baseball and cricket, with common roots in the 18th-century games played in England.
The teams alternate between 'batting' (offensive) role, sometimes called 'in at bat' or simply in, and 'fielding' (defensive role), also called 'out in the field' or out. Only the batting team may score, but teams have equal opportunities in both roles. The game is counted rather than timed. The action starts when a player on the fielding team puts the ball in play with a delivery whose restriction depends on the game. A player on the batting team attempts to strike the delivered ball, commonly with a 'bat', which is a club governed by the rules of the game. After striking the ball, the batter may become a runner trying to reach a safe haven or 'base'. While in contact with a base, the runner is safe from the fielding team and in a position to score runs. Leaving a safe haven places the runner in danger of being put out. The teams switch roles when the fielding team puts the batting team out, which varies by game.
Cricket Bat And Ball
In modern baseball the fielders put three players out; in cricket they retire all players but one. Some games permit multiple runners and some have multiple bases to run in sequence. Batting may occur, and running begin, at one of the bases. The movement between those 'safe havens' is governed by the rules of the particular sport.
