live bet on cricket

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 20-meter (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.There are various formats ranging from Twenty20, played over a few hours with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs, to Test matches, played over five days with unlimited overs and the teams each batting for two innings of unlimited length. Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colors. In addition to the basic kit, some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core which is layered with tightly wound string.Cricket is a popular sport in many countries, particularly in Commonwealth nations, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. It is played at all levels, from amateur club cricket to Test matches played by national teams.The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. There are currently 42 Laws (always written with a capital "L").The origin of cricket is unknown. Most probably, it developed from many similar games played in the country during the medieval period. The first definite reference to cricket being played comes from a court case in Guildford, Surrey, in 1597. The case concerned ownership of a certain plot of land and the court heard the testimony of a 59-year-old coroner, John Derrick, who gave witness that: "being a scholler in the ffree schoole of Guldeford hee and diverse of his fellows did runne and play there at creckett and other plaies". Given Derrick's age, it was about half a century earlier when he was at school and so it is certain that cricket was being played c. 1550 by boys in Surrey.The first reference to cricket in print was in 1598 in a court case concerning a land dispute in Guildford, Surrey between John Derrick, a coroner, and John Lambe, a player. Derrick's testimony reveals that: "being a scholler in the ffree schoole of Guldeford hee and diverse of his fellows did runne and play there at creckett and other plaies".The game seems to have been popular in south-east England at the time.The first reference to cricket in America was in a 1641 court case in Virginia between John Wallop and John Berkeley. Wallop claimed that he had been promised certain land in exchange for Berkeley's daughter's hand in marriage, but when he went to collect his land, he found that Berkeley had instead given it to "cricketers" to use as their pitch.The earliest known definite reference to cricket being played as an adult sport was in 1697 (i.e. forty-six years after Derrick's testimony) when two men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to church.Cricket was probably introduced to North America by English colonists in the 17th century, and the first reference to cricket in America was in a 1641 court case in Virginia between John Wallop and John Berkeley.

The writer in question, one "P.F.", referred to the "curious game of cricket" that had recently arrived in Sydney from England.The first recorded match in Australia took place in 1803, as part of a tour by a team of English cricketers. The match was played against a Military team at the Sydney Parade Ground.The first recorded match in New Zealand took place in Wellington in December 1842.The game of cricket spread from England to other parts of the world, and the first international match was played between the United States and Canada in 1844.Cricket continued to grow in popularity, and the first international tournament, the Gentlemen v Players match, was held in 1806.The first official County Championship was held in 1890.The modern game of cricket is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which was founded in 1909.The ICC is responsible for the organisation and governance of cricket's major international tournaments, most notably the Cricket World Cup.The first Cricket World Cup was held in England in 1975.Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played on a cricket field (see image, right) between two teams of eleven players each. The field is usually circular or oval in shape and the centre of the field is marked by a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch. The pitch is a flat surface 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) deep, with very short grass that is mowed even shorter in the area immediately adjacent to the pitch, so as to create a good batting surface. The pitch is surrounded by a close-infield, which is often cut even shorter than the rest of the outfield so as to create a good batting surface. There is also a strip of grass around the perimeter of the field known as the outfield.The game is played with a cricket ball, which is a hard, solid sphere made of cork covered with leather. The ball is slightly smaller than a baseball, and has a seam that is raised slightly above the surface of the ball. The seam is used to grip the ball when bowling (throwing) or when batting (hitting).The game is played by two teams, each of which has 11 players. One team bats, trying to score runs, while the other team bowls and fields, trying to restrict the scoring and dismiss the batsmen. When one team has batted for its allotted time (usually between 20 and 50 overs, depending on the type of match), the teams swap roles, and the fielding team tries to score runs off the batting team. The game is won by the team that scores the most runs.Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 20-meter (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps.
