The spirit of the sport is for a bowler to deliver the ball from his end of the pitch to the batsman who is armed with a bat and is “on strike” at the other end.
The Cricket game has a high team spirit and the match is played between two teams where each team has eleven players.
It originated in England, and little by little it was admired especially in the Commonwealth countries. It is the most popular game in South Asian countries.
The story started in the 16th century and slowly spread its wings to other parts of the country and then the international game started to be played from 1844 and test series started to be played from 1877. And now the game is played all over the world . with a lot of entertainment and fun.
Many rules and regulations are followed and the equipment that comes into contact when a match is played is very important for the players to use on the field. A single delivery of the ball can change the image of the game or a single shot can change the entire game. It requires a lot of concentration from the players and also from the spectators.
Two main accessories that come into contact on the field of play are the bat and the ball. Bat, which is usually made of wood, is usually made of white willow. The edge of the handle is curved like the shape of a leaf and then at the top it runs into a cylindrical shape. Sheet thickness should not exceed 4.25 inches (108 mm). And the total length of the bat must not be more than 38 inches (970 mm).
As the game is not only played by national and international players, it is also played on every street and every ground by local people and residents. Cricket, the game played mainly by boys, also has many fans around the world, including girls.
The bats are curved for players of various ages and also depending on height. The standard height and age group are taken into consideration for the design of the bat. The V-shaped handle gives the overall strength to the bat and players should feel comfortable during play. The flat side of the bat is used for play (ie it has to face each and every ball bowled by the bowler).
The bat must be strong enough to handle each delivery of the ball which is different each time. As each bowler’s bowling style will not be the same, batsmen must be able to withstand any style of bowling and be able to make shots or hits. The handle is coated with rubber help giving more grip and support to batters. Cricket is a game that unites the country and many fans praise it primarily as a religion.
