The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cricket: Cricket – a bat-and-ball team sport. Many variations exist, with its most popular form played on an oval-shaped outdoor arena known as a cricket field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard (20.12 m) long pitch that is the focus of the game. A game (or match) is contested between two teams of eleven players each. One team bats, and will try 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 run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. ==What ''type'' of thing is cricket?== * Exercise – bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health or wellness. * Game – structured activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool.
