Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called the pitch.\n\nAt each end of the pitch stand a set of wooden poles called wickets (traditionally made from the wood of the ash tree). A player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized ball from one wicket towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat, traditionally made of willow. Another batsman (the non-striker) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with the non-striker. This scores a run. The batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, while members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out. Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat or innings (always with a terminal "s" in cricket usage) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. Depending on the specific rules of the match, one or two innings may be played, possibly with a fixed number of legally-bowled balls defining the end of an innings rather than ten batsmen having been dismissed. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try and achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\n\nPlaying Nations:\nEngland\nIndia\nPakistan\nBangladesh\nSri Lanka\nAustralia\nNew Zealand\nSouth Africa\nZimbabwe \nWest Indies

...itz almost near, but you see\n\n3 specialist all rounders (excluding Ganguly)\n7 specialist batsmen (including Dhoni)\n6 specialist bowlers\n\nSo we have 9 specialists + 3 optional bowlers in your side and \n7 specialist + 3 optional (all rounders) are there...So why can't you drop 1 or 2 from the bowler's list and prefer batsman..?\nSince JPYadav has got chance earlier, I prefer jogindersingh among the all rounders...\n\nSo my  decision will be including Laxman (if Raina is not clicking again) & Dinesh Karthick - \ninstead of JPYadav & AAgarkar.\n\nIf you still need one bowler, either YMahesh or VRV Singh can be brought alongwith Laxman.

no boring Cricket is interesting sport like SOCCER\n\nhope this feature will help you.\n\nA cricketer is a term used to refer to a person who plays cricket. It is generally used to refer to professional cricketers rather than amateur players.\n\nA cricket match is played between two sides, each consisting of eleven cricketers or players, though by agreement that sides may allow fewer or more than eleven cricketers to play as long as no more than eleven players are fielding at any one time. Each team appoints a captain.\n\nThe rules concerning the players of a cricket game are in Law 1 of the Laws of cricket. This law also requires each team to be named prior to the toss of a coin to decide which team bats and which team bowls first. They may not be changed thereafter (but see Substitute). Law 1 also makes the captains responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit and traditions of the game as well as within the Laws.\n\n\nTypes of cricketers\nCricketers can be classified by what area of the game they are best at. The most common classifications are:\n\nBatsman \nBowler \nWicket-keeper \nAll-rounder
