What Is Cricket?
Baseball is known as America's national pastime, but if you live outside of the United States you might be more familiar with a game called cricket. The game of cricket is the national summer game of England, though it's played by many countries around the world. It's similar to baseball, but there are a lot of differences, so let's take a closer look.
History of Cricket
The exact origins of cricket aren't known, but it may have been played as long ago as the 13th century. The first recorded cricket match was in 1646 in Kent, England; the laws of cricket were established in 1744; and the world's first cricket club was formed in 1760.
Cricket is a popular game all over the world

In the United States, cricket has been played since the 18th century, and the first formal clubs were formed later in the early 19th century. However, interest in the United States didn't last, and the game is now only played by independent clubs.
Setup of Cricket
Like many sports, the objective of cricket is to score more points than the other team. Cricket is played between two teams of 11 players each, with a 12th player on reserve in case of injury. There is a batting team and a bowling team.
There are two innings where each team will get a chance to bat and bowl. There is one captain for each team, two umpires who monitor the game on the field, and a third umpire who makes decisions based on slow-motion replays. There are also scorers who score the game.
The cricket pitch is a rectangular stretch in the middle of the cricket field, and is where most of the game action takes place
cricket pitch
Cricket is played on an oval field with a ball, a bat, and two wickets, wooden gate-like structures at each end of the pitch. The pitch is the central strip of the cricket field and where most of the action takes place. A wicket is made of three wooden posts (called stumps) with two bails, or smaller sticks, placed along the top between the stumps.
