Weekly essay week 2

This is an essay on how to play cricket and have good skills.
Cricket is a sport which players have to work hard together as a team. Teams
take turns, known as innings to bat and to score runs. The other team, the
fielding side tries to stop runs being scored and get the opposition batsmen
out, known as taking a wicket. If one team loses ten wickets then its innings
ends. The winning team is the one that scores the most runs in a match.
A fielder shows the basic Cricket clothing worn by all players: white long
trousers, shirt and shoes, which grip the ground. The batsmen wears a
protective helmet with a metal grille to protect the face from any deliveries
that go really fast also wear padded batting gloves and leg pads. A wicket
keeper wears leg pads and wicket keeper gloves with webbing between the
thumb and finger of the glove.
In the middle of the field is a narrow strip of ground called the pitch. A
batsman stands at one end of the pitch and the bowler bowls the ball from the
other end. A bowler bowls six ties in a row from one end of the pitch. Each
ball bowled is called a delivery and the six deliveries are called an over.
However, if an umpire feels that a ball is too wide or high or that delivery is a
no ball, then the bowler has to bowl that delivery again. At the end of an over,
another bowler bowls from the opposite end of the pitch.
The outside of a Cricket field is called the boundary is usually marked by a
rope. If a ball rolls or bounces over the rope then four runs are awarded. If a
ball clears the rope without bouncing, then six runs are awarded.
The wickets are two small bails which sit on top of three stumps. These
stumps are named to whether the batsman is left or right handed. If the
batsman is right handed then the stump on the right is called the leg stump,
as this is on the leg side of the field, and the stump on the left is called the off
stump, as this is on the off side of the field.
These names swap if the batsman is left handed. Surrounding the stumps are
the creases. A batsman must ground his or her bat past the popping crease
to not be run out. A bowler must ensure that part of his or her front foot is
behind the popping crease, otherwise the delivery is a no ball.
The laws of cricket are very complicated, but all young players must try to
learn them. A match is run by umpires on the field that make rulings on
events in the match. You should never argue with the umpires their decisions
are final.
Most amateur cricket matches are run by two umpires on the pitch. One
usually stands behind the wicket at the same end as the bowler, while the
other stands in line with the facing batsman but to the side at a position called
square leg. The umpire switch positions at the end of each over.
The umpires are responsible for judging whether a run has been completed,
whether a bowler has bowled a wide or no ball, whether a batsman is in or out
and all other matters on the field of play, including whether conditions are
suitable for the game to continue.
Batters aim to score more runs than the opposition, by hitting the ball, then
running between the wickets before the fielders can stop the ball. Batters can
be dismissed by being bowled out, when the ball hits part of the wicket.
Caught out when the ball is caught directly off the bat without bouncing.
Stumped, when the batter is attempting a run but fails to reach the wicket
before it is broken hit wicket, when the batter breaks his own wickets.
In conclusion Cricket is a really fun sport to watch and play. Since you know
the rules you should join a club. I bet you will do great.
