Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two
teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of
which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One
team bats, trying to score as many runs as
possible while the other team bowls and fields,
trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the
runs scored by the batting team.
A cricket match is divided into periods called
innings. During an innings (innings ends with
"s" in both singular and plural form), one team
fields and the other bats. The two teams switch
between fielding and batting after each
innings. All eleven members of the fielding
team take the field, but only two members of
the batting team (two batsmen) are on the field
at any given time.
*Cricket is played on a
grassy field. The Laws
of Cricket do not
specify the size or
shape of the field, but
it is often oval. In the
centre of the field is a
rectangular strip,
known as the pitch.
The stumps are placed in line on the bowling creases
and so these creases must be 22 yards (20 m) apart. A
bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) long, with the
middle stump placed dead centre. The popping crease
has the same length, is parallel to the bowling crease
and is 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the wicket.
The bat is made of wood (usually White
Willow) and has the shape of a blade topped
by a cylindrical handle. The blade must not be
more than 4.25 inches (108 mm) wide and the
total length of the bat not more than 38 inches
(970 mm).
The ball is a hard leather-seamed spheroid,
with a circumference of 9 inches (230 mm).

Early cricket was at
some time or another
described as "a club
striking a ball (like) the
ancient games of club-
ball, stool-ball, trap-
ball, stob-ball". Cricket
can definitely be traced
back to Tudor times in
early 16th-century
England.
Cricket forms a major part of our boys' summer
games programme at Alleyn's. Pupils of all ages
and abilities are encouraged to join the co-
curricular clubs that are run for each year
group. The School fields teams at U12, U13,
U14, U14, U15, senior 2nd XI and senior 1st XI
level. They have a full Saturday fixture
programme and in addition play many local
schools in midweek friendly matches.
