Scoring question.

[wigam]

Small question.... Where does he keep the wicket? Hit them with what?

There are 6 wickets. 3 at each end. The game is played on a pitch(flat hard piece of grass). The pitch is about 22 yards long and thats where the bowlers bowl on. They bowl a hard leather ball, like a baseball but usually red and a lot harder. ;) The bowler takes a run up from behind the pitch and bowls overarm down the pitch to the batter who has a hard wood bat(looks a lot like a paddle) basically the batter hits the ball and runs as fast as he can so as not to be run out. Thats how he scores runs. There are two batters at any one time and they run between the wickets at either end of the pitch. If he hits it far enough to the fence surrounding the field he gets max runs. Over the fence on the full is a 6, and if he rolls over its a 4. The batter keeps batting until hes out or runs out of overs. Now overs are bowled as 6 balls. thats an over.

crazy if your not used to it but thats how i felt when trying to watch american football(gridiron). I get most of it now but i am still lost at sea sometimes.
