online cricket betting game

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 one of many games in the "club ball" sphere that basically involve hitting a ball with a hand-held implement; others include baseball, golf, hockey, tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis. It is believed that cricket originated as a children's game in the south-eastern counties of England, sometime during the medieval period. Although there are claims for prior dates, the earliest definite reference to cricket being played comes from evidence given at a court case in Guildford on Monday, 17 January 1597 (Julian calendar; equating to 30 January 1598 in the Gregorian calendar). 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 being played as an adult sport was in 1611, and in the same year a dictionary defined cricket as a boy's game. Given that, it is reasonable to assume that cricket was being played by children at least a century earlier. In Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755), he defined cricket as "a boys' game", and this is still an alternative meaning of the word.The earliest definite reference to cricket equipment is dated Monday, 10 March 1624 and concerns the warrant issued by the High Court of Chancery for the purchase of "a bole for the game of creckett". Equipment mentioned in the warrant includes a bat and a "stump". The game's popularity is shown by a 1659 court case concerning a schoolboy, Richard Lindow, who had been using a bat that was broken in a game.Cricket remained a low-key children's game for much of the 17th century. This changed in the late 17th century when the game began to be mentioned more often in adult life. The earliest known game played by adults was on Monday, 19 July 1697 (Julian calendar; equating to 30 July 1697 in the Gregorian calendar) when London's Artillery Ground was the venue for a match between two teams of eleven players.A newspaper report of the match, which was played for a wager of eleven guineas, describes the teams as follows: "The Prince's team consisted of Lord Ranelagh, Sir John Moore, Mr. Sidney, Mr. Hobart, Mr. Pulteney, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Bernard, Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Conyngham, Mr. Coote, and Mr. Ward; the Duke of Richmond's, of Mr. Brodrick, Mr. Bernard, Mr. Onslow, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Hobart, Mr. Gage, Mr. Conyngham, Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Coote, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. Ward".The game was played in two innings, with the Prince's team batting first and the Duke of Richmond's team batting second. The Prince's team scored 48 runs and the Duke of Richmond's team scored 41. The game was won by the Prince's team.The first reference to cricket in America is dated 20 July 1739 and concerns a match in Philadelphia between teams from New York and Philadelphia. The game was played on the grounds of the College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania).The earliest known use of the term "first-class cricket" was in a report of a match between Eton and Harrow in 1748.The legality of online cricket betting game has been a contentious issue. While some countries have legalized it, others have not. In India, for instance, cricket betting game is illegal but is widely practiced nonetheless. In England, the legality of online cricket betting game is still being debated.online cricket betting india
