Playing Time (cricket)
Games in the sport of cricket are played over a number of hours or days, making it one of the sports with the longest playing time, though Sailing (sport), sailing, Yacht racing, yachting, road bicycle racing, road cycling, and rallying are sometimes longer. Typically, Test cricket, Test and first-class cricket matches are played over three to five days with, at least, six hours of cricket being played each day. Limited overs formats of cricket take place in one day, with List A cricket, List A matches lasting for six hours or more, and Twenty20, T20, 100-ball cricket, 100-ball and ten10 cricket, T10 matches lasting from 90 minutes to three hours.

Bail (cricket)
In the sport of cricket, a bail is one of the two smaller sticks placed on top of the three stumps to form a wicket. The bails are used to determine when the wicket is ''broken'' or '' put down'', which in turn is one of the critical factors in determining whether a batsman is out bowled, stumped, run out or hit wicket. The wicket is considered to be broken if one or both of the bails fall from the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground, by: *the ball, *the striking batsman's bat, or any part of the striker's body or clothing (even if it falls off), or *a fielder with the hand or arm holding the ball. This means, for example, that if the ball hits the wicket directly from the bowler's delivery, the batsman is only out bowled if a bail falls off, so a ball can actually brush or rest against the stumps without the batsman being dismissed (as long as the bail remains in its groove). If a bail falls off the stumps for any other reason while the ball is still in pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Umpire (cricket)
In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French meaning not a peer, i.e. not a member of one of the teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority to make decisions about events on the cricket field according to the ''Laws of Cricket''. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wickets and general conduct of the Game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over. The umpires in cricket are not to be confused with the referee who usually presides only over international matches and makes no decisions affecting the outcome of the game. Overview Traditionally, cricket matches have two umpires on the field, one standing at the end where the bowler delivers the ball (bowler's end), and one directly opposite the facing batsman (usually, but not always, at square leg). However, in the modern game, there may be more than two umpires; for example Test Matches have four: two on-field umpires, a thir ...
