Cricket is a sport that many do not play simply because they see it as difficult. In fact cricket is fairly easy to learn and is a fun sport to play. To start off there are two types of cricket which are Test cricket, which is played for five days, and one day cricket which is the shorter version of test cricket. For those who want to play cricket, finding a field to play on is important. Cricket is only played on an oval field so playing on a field meant for cricket is your best option. You will also need two squads (teams) of 11.
Playing the game isn-t that difficult. First you need to determine which team is on the field. Once that is decided the ball should be bowled to the striker. The person bowling the ball should try to get the striker out by hitting the wicket. The striker should hit the ball and the batsmen run to reach the opposing popping creases. The whole idea of the game is to score six runs. This is done by hitting the ball over the boundary line without the ball touching the ground. On the opposite team that is on the field should try to get an over by getting the striker out, catching the ball in the air or by breaking the wicket behind the striker.
