		One of the many positive aspects of the game is its suitability for children (and adults new to any form of cricket).
		The ball is softer than a regular cricket ball, everyone is involved to the same degree (regardless of ability), and you don't have to be super fit (no running a hundred yards to collect a ball from near the boundary, and having to throw it from the same distance).
		With the close proximity of fielders, run-outs are very common, and fielding is one of the features of the game, both from a player's perspective and a spectator's.The game is therefore always active, and it is rare for there not to be either a score or wicket on each and every ball bowled.

		Cricket was through and through a "gentleman's" game, and all others were excluded by their inability to demonstrate an understanding of cricket's image of the ideal Englishman.
