Recipe of the Day - The Game of Cricket, Day 2
For the batting team in Cricket, the aim is to score as many runs as possible. A run is scored when both batsmen successfully move to the opposite ends of the pitch. Runs are also scored if the batsmen propels the ball to the edge of the playing area (six runs if the ball reaches the boundary without touching the ground, otherwise four runs).
For the bowling team, the aim is to get each batsman out (wicket, or dismissal). The most direct way is for the bowler to bowl the ball in such a way that it evades the batsman's guard and hits the stumps, dislodging the bails. While the batsmen are attempting a run, the fielders may attempt to knock the bails off either set of stumps with the ball before the batsman nearer to that set of stumps has reached the crease.
Once out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team's lineup. The innings of the batting team will end when the 10th batsman is given out, because must be two batsmen on the field. When this happens, the team is all out. (In Limited overs cricket the innings end either when the batting team is all out or the predetermined number of overs are bowled). At the end of an innings, the two teams exchange roles, the fielding team becoming the batting team and vice versa.
