Rules

Game Protocol:
The umpire's decision during a game is final in all matters that means no arguing with the umpire, even though you may be sure of his misjudgment. However this is rare these days due to the presence of the third umpire.

The rules of cricket define dismissals and if you know you're out within that definition, you are morally obliged to aid the umpire and walk, even though the umpire may have missed the judgment.

Bowlers are not allowed to tamper with the ball in any way. They can polish the ball by rubbing it with cloth, drying or removing mud from the ball and applying saliva or sweat to it. Any other substance is illegal, as is rubbing the ball on the ground and tampering with the seams..

Members of the fielding team cannot distract the batsmen while he is batting. If in case they do that, the umpire can call a dead ball and award five penalty runs to the batting side's total.
Bowler should not keep bowling short or high pitched balls which could cause injury to the batsmen. In such cases, the umpire can call a no ball and warn the bowler.

Players in any innings should not waste time in any way. If they do that the umpire first warns the Captain of the offending team and if it continues then five runs are awarded for the other team.

The new batsman making their way to the wicket is to be applauded.

All players are responsible to avoid unnecessary damage to the pitch during play. If a fielder damages the pitch then a caution will be issued to the fielding captain. Any repeat action from any fielder during the innings and the umpire will add five runs to the batting side's total. A batsman who damages the pitch will be cautioned by the umpire. If they do it a second time in the same innings, they'll get a final warning and any runs scored from that delivery, other than no balls or wides, will be disallowed.

Any attempt made to steal a run will see five penalty runs awarded to the fielding side.

Ways in which batsman is dismissed:
A batsman is bowled (out) if the ball hits the wicket and dislodges either bail from the top of the stumps.

A batsman is out LBW (Leg Before Wicket) if the ball hits the batsman on his pads and in the opinion of the umpire it was pitched on a straight line between the wicket or on the off side and would hit the wicket.

A batsman is out hit wicket if a ball is dislodged by his bat, body or cap while he is in the act of making his stroke.

A batsman is out if he hits the ball twice.

An incoming batsman shall be out if he takes more time to come in. Usually two or three minutes being timed from the moment a wicket falls until the new batsman steps on to the field of play.

The batsman shall be caught out if the ball hit by him is caught by any fielder before it touches the ground.

The batsman shall be stumped out when he is out of his crease when the ball is being bowled and the wicket is put down by the wicket keeper.

The batsman is run out when he is out of his crease while attempting a run and his wicket is put down by any player of the opposite side.

Appeal:
Appeal is the call of the umpire for a decision on whether a batsman is out. If an appeal is not made by the fielding side before the bowler delivers the next ball, the umpires shall not give a batsman out.

On appeal, either batsman shall be given out obstructing the field if he willfully obstructs the opposite side by work or action or he willfully obstruct a fielder and prevent a catch being made.

How to Bat in Cricket

Cricket : Batting
The batting is one of the most exciting part of cricket.You like to became a good batsman for that u need to protect your wicket and as well as you to need to score runs.The selection of the shot must be perfect with the timing the ball speed.

Shots in batting range from the square cut, hook, off-drive,
pull to the sweep and the leg-glance.

The Cover Drive

One of the most elegant shot in cricket.when the bowler put the ball closer to you.The important things is get your foot to the across the pitch of ball and to stroke the shot,but you need not to hit the ball very hard.Now See this picture how the Master is stroke the Cover Drive

The On Drive

Very touch shot because its hard to open the straight bat to the ball.Only the man who know the on Drive very well he is good batsman.Only Straight drive look the batsman as good cricketer,more than the any shot.'I tend to hit this one wide of mid-on against pace bowlers,
whereas Sachin hit his straight back past the bowlder.
Ricky Ponting used this shot to great effect against fast bowlers
whenever they over-pitched. I do hit spinners in the air over
mid-on and quicks there on the ground in one-dayers.'

Why you drop more catches than you should (and what to do about it)

WHAT HAPPEN IN DROP OF CATCH ?
In fraction of second any thing will happen in cricket.It will change the whole match in drop of one catch.Drop of one catch Bowler get more pressure to bowl the next ball and fielder also get tension.

The myth of soft hands
"Catch with soft hands and give with the ball"
We heard that coach tell to take catch and enjoy with your team mates with out any pressure we can play the whole match and win the match.But watching top players catch the ball shows a different picture.

Excellent fielders like Rahul Dravid make catches look like they are having a ball lobbed to them from 5 yards, not flying off the edge at great speed, or just travelled 60 metres plus to the boundary edge.

They are not catching with soft hands, but they are catching. What's more they make it look easy.

The secret of catching under pressure
Batsman hit the ball very high your the man to take the catch and also the winning stage of match while to take the catch.At that time your under pressure so you while drop the catch and lose the match.For that you need to make your self as cool and Dont blink your eye while ball is coming on you ok... now you can take the catch easy.The secret of good catching isn't being soft, it's being strong.

How to catch with strong hands

* Get your hands to the line of the ball, not the ball itself.
* Get into position to catch the ball with the minimum amount of movement.
* Allow the ball to come to you.
* Keep the phrase "strong but relaxed" in your mind.
* Keep the hand together and make it wide open.
* Make your hand like cup or basket to catch ball.

There is an important distinction between strong hands and hard hands. When you are tensed up your hands are hard and don't allow the ball in.

Strong hands close around the ball effortlessly while your arms remain relaxed and your eyes focused on the ball. You will often hear players talking about 'seeing the ball all the way in' when they pull of a great catch. It's rare to see it all the way and drop it.

Basics of Fielding

Fielding is more important in cricket if u want to became a great cricketer.First you need to concentrate on the fielding. In fielding you can learn more thing about cricket. For that you need to Hard work.

The basic skills required to be a good fielder are that you must
get your legs, feet and body right behind the ball, accurately judge
the flight of the ball when going for a catch, keep down and watch
the batsman. These skills all make you a good fielder but
sustained good fielding depends on unremmited concentration,
even when your team's been out in the blazing sun for seven hours or more

The standard of fielding in a team is of great importance in
cricket because a good fielding team gives bowlers
confidence and it's a great support structure to both wicket-keepers
and bowlers. Nothing spurs a bowler more than a well-held catch,
an excellent run-out or a throw-in which hits the wicket spot-on. In fact,
good fielding gives the entire team a drive and dominance over t
he batting team and puts them under the kind of
pressure that wins many matches.

Over the years the standard of fielding has become so paramount
to the winning or losing of matches, that cricket teams can no
longer afford to keep a slow mover or lazy bender in the team
simply as a result of his batting or bowling acumen.
