How to play cricket

Cricket is in two teams of eleven players. Normally, cricket is by men.
When the game starts, two men from one team are to play or bat. They go out onto the cricket pitch while the nine other men are to sit and wait until one of the two men playing (or batting) is .
The two men batting are stand at each end of the cricket pitch that is about 20 metres long.Each man is with a bat which is a long piece of flat wood with a handle. He has to hit a ball, a very hard cricket ball in fact, which is with leather.
In the other team, one of the eleven men on the field is to throw - or bowl - the ball. So he runs up from one end of the pitch and the ball is to one of the men batting. Sometimes the ball is very fast and the man batting can . Some men's noses are , or they are in the eye. But this is not very common, and today players are often with helmets and masks.
So, the man batting - who the batter - has to hit the ball. If he can do this, he then runs to the other end of the pitch crossing over with the other batter. If he runs own the pitch once, this is as one point, or "run".
If he runs down and back again, this as two runs.
For a batter to , there are several possibilities.
If he hits the ball into the air and it is by one of the players of the other team before it hits the ground, then the batter is or "out". Then he by another player from his team, one of the nine others waiting on the side.
If he is running down the pitch after hitting the ball, and the ball is and sent back to the end of the pitch before he reaches that end of the pitch, he is as "out".
There are other ways to "out" but this short description is to give you an idea of the British national game.
By the way, all the players are normally in white clothes, so you can imagine how they are with the lovely green grass of the cricket field.
And did you know that a normal cricket match is over five days !
