So if a batter is out and he leaves the field, do they replace him with another batter? How many batters must be made out before the other team goes to bat? Please explain 32 runs from 1 over?

[aussiefox]

Yes the team has 11 players , 10 out all out ( as the 11th batsman can't bat by themselves) as for 32 runs from one over , the maximum hit off a legal ball is 6 runs, and an over has 6 balls ...so if a batsman hit 5 balls for 6 and then ran a 2 that would = 32, of course there are numerous ways to arrive at 32 and if you throw in illegal balls called no balls or wides these add 1 run to the score and have to be rebowled. hope that helps.

In reference to my 1st question, for example, look at 3:43. The guy is standing right in front of the wicket. How are you supposed to knock it down if the dude is right in front of it? Should you then just try to drill him in the nuts?

leg before wicket is one of the most complicated laws of the game of cricket. it has a few requirements , which it would be pointless to try to go into depth with here , just google leg before wicket.

What happens if the batter hits the wicket on the opposite side of the pitch?

[aussiefox]

G'day, if you mean with the ball off the bat or running towards it , either way same result-nothing. The wicket at the bowlers end only comes into play when a run-out could be made , then it has to be tagged (in cricket tag the wicket , not the batter) by a fielder (or bowler) with the batsman out of his ground to be an out.

So golf, not a hard sport to learn? the conclusion you draw is hard to backup with fact.

FACT: the reason Cricket is not the #1 team sport worldwide ( it is #2 though) is due to the fact that the British commonwealth countries wouldn't let anyone else into the elite levels to play until 1965.

i'd love to post CC Sabathia, P Fielder, (and their kind) pics here. ohh...you must be fat american who think you're still in shape and you don't know the difference between fat and muscle. it's should be ONLY 5 MLB players could be consider in shape, on ideal weight. i like Lincecum btw (he's not fat)

[BlackOppTamama]

You obviously haven't watched a baseball game. Only about 5 mlb players could be considered overweight. You just don't know the difference between muscle and fat.

[lifesaach]

like the WORLD champion of NFL only on one conti....eh...country.

[lifesaach]

i've never saw any of baseball players in shape. they're all overweight, so when they run they always have to check on their waist belt.

[lifesaach]

modern world??? LOOOOLLLL, as far as i know baseball played mostly in US and...and..and... and CUBA, DOMINICA, PUERTO RICO, VENEZUELA. whoooaa..what a bunch of modern world.

[lifesaach]

[xxbronzeroosterxx]

If a ball leaves the playing area into the crowd, are you supposed to toss it back?

[BBQ546]
