Basic rules and traditions of cricket

The match is played by two teams of eleven players each. Its main goal is to make the maximum number of runs. The essence of the game is that the players hit the ball with the help of a bat, which is served by the defending team. The competition takes place on a round field. Its size may vary, but inside there is always a circle with a diameter of 20 meters. This is where the main battles take place. The ball is served by the teams in turn. At the same time, the batting player tries to send the ball as far as possible from the opposing team to enable his player to make a run.

Attacks are called innings and last until the entire batting team is out of the game. Then the opponents switch roles.
