		For some one innings matches each team's innings may be restricted to a set number of fair deliveries to be bowled by the opposing team.
		Additionally, as in professional cricket it is not unusual for balls to be bowled at over 80mph, the game needs to be played in daylight that is good enough for a batsman to be able to see the ball.

		They tend to like swapping ends, rather than remaining at one end for an extended time, since it means the bowlers need to adjust to bowling to a different batsmen every few balls.
		Declaring the innings closed is one of the most important strategic-level decisions a captain makes in cricket.
		The captain can declare before the end of play, forcing the side batting last to have batsmen settling-in on two days, and trying to score 400 runs in a little over a day's play - which is an almost impossible task, especially on the last day when the pitch is deteriorating.

		In some games, each team is allocated a set number of overs and its innings is closed once they have been bowled (subject to the innings not ending by another method beforehand).
		An example of this is an ODI match, where each team can bat for only 50 consecutive overs.

		Resentful of the constant scrutiny that position demanded and often short and dismissive of what he regarded as pointless or intrusive questioning, Atherton used his defensive technique almost as well off the pitch as he did on it.
		Yet although he had his detractors, no-one could doubt his value to an England team who became increasingly reliant on his efforts, often folding once the captain departed the crease for the dressing room.
		Even his finest hour, a 643-minute innings of great defiance to secure an unlikely draw for England in Johannesburg four years ago, was tainted by the sight of many of his team-mates perishing and allowing South Africa to the brink of victory.

		As Jemima is not in Pakistan, however, Imran is legally permitted to serve her with divorce papers directly through an attorney or through the British High Commission in Pakistan.
