Cricket is a bat and ball sport contested by two teams, usually
of eleven players each. A team sport played by men, women,
& juniors, cricket draws on motor skills, and hand eye
co ordination.
The game that is played predominantly in the summer season
is popular around the world. The game is played on a grass
field, roughly oval in shape, with a flat cricket pitch of
20 metres.
Wooden wickets are placed at each end of the pitch, a bowler
from the fielding team will bowl a fast ball towards the wicket,
the batsman from the opposing team has to defend the wicket
by hitting the ball with a wooden cricket bat. The aim is
for the batsman to score as many runs (exchange of ends) as
possible before the fielding team returns the ball. The match
is won by the team that scores the most runs.
Kwik Cricket is a high speed adaption of cricket, frequently
played in schools with a plastic bat and ball. Kwik cricket
is aimed at encouraging children to take part in the sport.
