Match structure The toss
The two opposing captains toss a coin before the match
the captain winning the toss chooses either to bat or bowl first
Overs
Each innings is divided into overs
each consisting of six consecutive legal deliveries bowled by the same bowler
|

Slide 15 :

Match structure End of an innings
An innings is completed if
Ten out of eleven batsmen are 'out' (dismissed) — the team are all out.
The team has only one batsman left who can bat (the others being incapacitated either through injury, illness or absence) — again, the team are all out.
The team batting last reaches the score required to win the match.
The predetermined number of overs are bowled (in a one-day match only, usually 50 overs).
A captain declares his team's innings closed (this does not apply to one-day limited over matches) |
|

Match structure Playing time
Typically, two innings matches are played over three to five days with at least six hours of cricket being played each day.
One innings matches are usually played over one day for six hours or more.
There are formal intervals on each day for lunch and tea, and shorter breaks for drinks, where necessary.
There is also a short interval between innings. |
|
|
Slide 17 :
|
Playing time The game is only played in dry weather.
the game needs to be played in daylight
good enough for a batsman to be able to see the ball
Play is therefore halted during rain (but not usually drizzle) and when there is bad light. |
|
|
Slide 18 :
|
Batting Batsmen strike the ball from the batting crease, with the flat surface of a wooden bat. |
|
|
Slide 19 :
|
Run scoring To score a run
a striker must hit the ball and run to the opposite end of the pitch
while his non-striking partner runs to his end
To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the popping crease with either their bats or their bodies
If the striker hits the ball well enough
the batsmen may double back to score two or more runs |
|
|
Slide 20 :
|
Run scoring run out
If a fielder knocks the bails off the stumps with the ball
while no batsman is grounded behind the nearest popping crease
the nearest batsman is run out
If the ball goes over the boundary, then four runs are scored, or six if the ball has not bounced |
|
|
Slide 21 :
|
Bowling A bowler delivers the ball toward the batsmen
pace bowlers
spin bowlers |

|
|
Slide 23 :
|
Fielding Fielders assist the bowlers in preventing runs
either by taking catches to dismiss a batsman
or by intercepting the ball and returning it to the pitch
The wicket-keeper is the only fielder permitted to wear gloves
A fielder may stop the ball with any part of their body |
|
|
Slide 24 :
|
wicket-keeper a specialist fielder who stands behind the batsman's wicket throughout the game.
to gather deliveries that the batsman fails to hit
to prevent them running into the outfield
which would enable batsmen to score byes |

Slide 27 :
|
One-day cricket Limited overs matches
also known as one day cricket or instant cricket
due to the growing demands for a shorter and more dramatic form of cricket to stem the decline in attendances
One-day, single-innings, matches
