Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players on each side. 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 a pitch.\n\nA player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized leather ball from one set of wooden stumps, called a 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. Another batsman (the partner of the defending player) 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 his partner. This scores a run. While the batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball, that is thrown by a fielder strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out, or "dismissed." 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 (innings) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. The innings may also be restricted to a certain number of balls. This is determined before the match, as is whether each team has one or two innings. 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 to achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. 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. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

cricket, ball-and-bat game played chiefly in Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries.\nBasic Rules\n\nCricket is played by two teams of eleven on a level, closely cut oval “pitch” preferably measuring about 525 ft (160 m) by about 550 ft (170 m). Two wickets are placed 66 ft (20.12 m) apart near the middle of the field. A wicket consists of two wooden crosspieces (bails) resting on three wooden stumps 28 in. (71.1 cm) high.\n\nAt each wicket stands a batsman. If the opposing bowler, delivering the ball from near the opposing wicket, knocks down the bails of the batsman's wicket, the batsman is retired. In delivering the hard, leather-covered ball, the bowler throws overarm but may not bend the arm, and the ball usually approaches the batsman on one bounce. After six bowls to one batsman, an umpire (there is one at each wicket) calls “over,” and another bowler begins bowling to the batsman's partner at the opposing wicket. The players in the field shift position according to the batsmen.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his willow paddle-shaped bat far enough so that both batsmen may run to exchange places, a run is scored. When the ball is hit a long distance (in any direction, since there are no foul lines), up to four exchanges or runs may be made. (If the ball crosses the boundary of the field on the ground, four runs are scored automatically; if it clears the boundary in the air, six are scored.) However, if the opposing team recovers the ball and uses it to knock down the bails of a wicket before the batsman reaches it, the batsman is out. A batsman is also retired if an opposing fielder catches a batted ball on the fly (as in baseball), or for any of several more technical reasons. An outstanding turn at bat may result in more than 100 runs, a “century.”\n\nA game usually consists of two innings; in one innings all players on each team bat once in a fixed order (unless a team, having scored what it considers runs adequate to win, chooses to retire without completing its order); a game may take several days to complete. Substitutions are allowed only for serious injury.\n\nOrigin of Cricket\n\nCricket's origin is obscure. Evidence suggests it was played in England in the 12th–13th cent., and it was popular there by the end of the 17th cent. By the mid-18th cent. the aristocracy had adopted the game. In 1744 the London Cricket Club produced what are recognizably the rules of modern cricket. The Marylebone Cricket Club, one of the oldest (1787) cricket organizations, is the game's international governing body.

Cricket is a sport normally played by two teams of 11 men each. It originated in Britain and spread throughout many of its colonies. It is a bat and ball game similar to baseball in many respects.\n\nCricket has innings. Instead of pitchers, it has bowlers who bowl the ball to the batsmen. There are two bowlers bowling from either end in overs where they deliver 6 balls to the batsmen. There are two batsmen who aim to score runs of the bowlers. The batsmen in cricket can score runs by hitting the ball. There are 11 fielders including bowlers who field all over the park. When the bowler isn't bowling, he is a fieldsman like his teammate. An innings ends when ten batsman have been given out by the umpire. There are several ways a batsman can be given out:\n\n* bowled when a ball from the bowler hits the stumps (three wooden sticks) and disturbs the bails (two pieces of wood sitting in groves on top of the stumps);\n\n* caught out similar to baseball;\n\n* leg before wicket where the ball hits the batsman's body before his bat and where the umpire considers it would have bowled him out if it hadn't hit his body;\n\n* run out which is similar to being thrown out in baseball before reaching a base.\n\nThere are now three types of cricket:\n\n* traditional cricket where the games last several days and both batting teams have two innings of undefined duration;\n\n* one day cricket which consists of one innings of fifty overs each; and\n\n* twenty-twenty where each innings is 20 overs each and each innings lasts for no longer than one and a half hours.

You can go about this problem a few ways. A force exherted on an object will give it a certain velocity. If F=m*a, and you have the force along with the mass, you can determine the acceleration. The acceleration, of course, is the change in velocity/change in time. You'll get a velocity change per second. If you know the ball is in contact for 0.03 seconds, you can determine the final velocity, v. \n\nKinetic energy is just 1/2 * m * v^2 so that will be a simple calculation once you figure out v.

Well, theres not enough information here. \nYou have to take into consideration, the angle of the ramp, the weight of the ball, whether the ball is pushed or released, the material which the ramp and ball is made of (their frictional properties)
