  • Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12Th 'B' Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher
    ON Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12th ‘B’ Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher – Rajender Sir http://www.facebook.com/nitinkumarnik Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School No. 3 INTRODUCTION Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. 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 was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.

SOCT uses a 50' x 40' court (Figure 1) or approximately a USCA full court divided in half. The four corner wickets are measured in 10' from each boundary. The two center wickets are measured 10' from the center stake. The interior width of each wicket should be no more than 3 3/a inches. There are six wickets, one stake, four corner posts or flags, and four balls. Each player needs a mallet; mallets can be shared. Tt is possible to play on an ordinary lawn with an inexpensive croquet set. The typical USCA competition game is played with higher-quality equipment on the flattest lawn with the shortest grass available (resembling a grass carpet, golf putting green or lawn bowling green). Look for a croquet set that has sturdy rectangular wickets, mallets sized for adults (about three feet high), and heavy, solid balls. A 9-wicket croquet set can be modified for 6-wicket games. ~►n Outline of the Game. Unified Golf Croquet is played between teams: blue and black balls versus red and yellow balls.
