		Cricket is a game played with a ball and a bat between two teams consisting of 11 players on each side.
		When the batsman hits the ball he may run to the other wicket where his partner is standing and his partner may run to the other end of the pitch from which the ball was hit -- this is one complete run.
		No ball: When the front foot of the bowler is completely outside the bowling crease or the ball bowled is higher than the batsman's shoulder when it passes him, that delivery is declared as a no-ball.

		If the ball strikes a wicket with enough force to knock a bail off before the batsman nearer to that wicket has reached safety, then the batsman is out, or "dismissed".
		Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies.

	Justine Larbalestier - Beginners' Guide to Cricket
		In the centre of the oval is the cricket pitch (or wicket) which is a strip of paler grass.
		If the bowler bowls a ball the umpires deem to be illegitimate (a wide or a no ball) the bowler must bowl another ball and the over ends up consisting of more than six balls (and thus more than six opportunities to score runs for the batsmen).
		My favourite spectacle in cricket is when there is only one genuine batsman left and they are in the position of having to stay on strike and thus protect the tailender from getting out and possibly injured (in that order).

		With the ball still in his hands, the fielder's momentum causes his feet to come into contact with the fence, at which point the batsmen have completed two runs and crossed on their third.
		As no fielder is close and assessing that the ball is 'dead', the Striker picks it up and returns it to the bowler standing 15 yards away with his hands on his hips.
		The ball pitches outside what is now his leg stump, hits the Striker in front of his wicket and in your opinion would have gone on to hit the stumps.

		In deciding whether the ball pitched outside of the leg stump, does the umpire consider leg stump as being leg when the batter initially faced the bowler....

		It is thought the real reason for this is that cricketers have traditionally been prepared to play in the Spirit of the Game as well as in accordance with the Laws.
		In this Code, the major innovation is the introduction of the Spirit of Cricket as a Preamble to the Laws.
		The other aims have been to dispense with the Notes, to incorporate all the points into the Rules of Cricket and to remove, where possible, any ambiguities, so that captains, players and umpires can continue to enjoy the game at whatever level they may be playing.
