HISTORY OF CRICKET?

Cricket

• Cricket was prominent in London as early as 1707 and, in the middle years of the century.
• On the Artillery Ground in FinsburyBowling underwent an evolution around 1760 when bowlers began to pitch the ball instead of rolling or skimming it towards the batsman.
• This caused a revolution in bat design because, to deal with the bouncing ball, it was necessary to introduce the modern straight bat in place of the old "hockey stick" shape.

• Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a cricket field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with a wicket, a set of three wooden stumps sited at each end.
• After either ten batsmen have been dismissed or a set numberof overs have been completed, the innings ends and the two teams.

Women's basketball

• The FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup features the top national women's basketball teams from continental championships.
• The main North American league is the WNBA, whereas the EuroLeague Women has been dominated by teams from the Russian Women's Basketball Premier League.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

• A cricket match is divided into periods called innings. It is decided before the match whether the teams will have one innings or two innings each.
• During an innings one team fields and the other bats.
• A coin toss is held by the team captains just before the match starts: the winner decides whether to bat or field first.
