POONAM MAM
I would like to express my special thanks to my
subject teacher who gave me the golden
opportunity to do this wonderful project of
physical education on the topic “Cricket”.

I come to know about so many things in this

project. I am really thankful to my subject teacher.
 The Cricket history
The sport of cricket has a known history beginning in the late
16th century. Having originated in south-east England, it
became the national sport in the 18th century and has
developed globally in the 19th and 20th centuries.
International matches have been played since 1844 and Test
cricket began, retrospectively recognised, in 1877. Cricket is
the second most popular spectator sport after association
football. Governance is by the International Cricket Council
(ICC) which has over one hundred countries and territories in
membership although only twelve play Test cricket.
Derivation of the name Of “cricket”
A number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term "cricket". In the
earliest definite reference, it was spelled creckett. The name may have been derived from
the Middle Dutch krick(-e), meaning a stick; or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a
crutch or staff, or the French word criquet meaning a wooden post.[3] The Middle Dutch
word krickstoel means a long low stool used for kneeling in church; this resembled the
long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket.[7] According to Heiner
Gillmeister, a European language expert of the University of Bonn, "cricket" derives from
the Middle Dutch phrase for hockey, met de (krik ket)sen (i.e., "with the stick chase").[8]

It is more likely that the terminology of cricket was based on words in use in south-east
England at the time and, given trade connections with the County of Flanders, especially
in the 15th century when it belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy, many Middle Dutch[9]
words found their way into southern English dialects.[10]
friends played cricket circa 1550
A 1597 (Old Style - 1598 New Style) court case in England concerning an ownership
dispute over a plot of common land in Guildford, Surrey mentions the game of
creckett. A 59-year-old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school
friends had played creckett on the site fifty years earlier when they attended the
Free School. Derrick's account proves beyond reasonable doubt that the
game was being played in Surrey circa 1550, and is the earliest universally accepted
reference to the game.[4][5]

The first reference to cricket being played as an adult sport was in 1611, when two
men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to
church.[6] In the same year, a dictionary defined cricket as a boys' game and
this suggests that adult participation was a recent development.[4

 The umpire role in cricket
In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere
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.

A cricket umpire is not to be confused with the

referee who usually presides only over international #
The Umpire matches and makes no decisions affecting the outcome of the game.

positions in cricket
 BatsMan can be given out according to the rules of
the Cricket
Bowled – Cricket rules state that if the ball is bowled and hits the
striking batsman’s wickets the batsman is given out (as long as at
least one bail is removed by the ball). It does not matter whether the
ball has touched the batsman’s bat, gloves, body or any other part of the batsman.
However the ball is not allowed to have touched another player or umpire before hitting
the wickets.
Caught – Cricket rules state that if a batsman hits the ball or
touches the ball at all with his bat or hand/glove holding the
bat then the batsman can be caught out. This is done by the
fielders, wicket keeper or bowler catching the ball on the full
(before it bounces). If this is done then cricket rules state the
batsman is out.
Leg Before Wicket (LBW) – If the ball is bowled and it hits
the batsman first without the bat hitting it then an LBW
decision is possible.
However for the umpire to give this out he must
first look at some of the factors
stated in the cricket rules. The
first thing the umpire need to
decide is would the ball have
hit the wickets if the batsman
was not there. If his answer to
this is yes and the ball was not
pitched on the leg side of the
 wicket he can safely give the batsman out. However if the ball hits the batsman outside the line of
off stump while he was attempting to play a stroke then he is not out.

Run Out – Cricket rules state that a batsman is out if no part of his bat or
body is grounded behind the popping crease while the ball is in play and
the wicket is fairly put down by the fielding side.

Stumped – A batsman can be given out according to cricket rules when the
wicketkeeper puts down his wicket while he is out of his crease and not
attempting a run (if he is attempting a run it would be a runout).
 No ball in the sport of cricket
In the sport of cricket a no-ball is a penalty against the fielding
team, usually as a result of an illegal delivery by the bowler. For
most cricket games, especially amateur ones, the definition of all
forms of no-ball is from the MCC Laws of Cricket[1]

The delivery of a no-ball results in one run – two under some

regulations – to be added to the batting team's score, and
an additional ball must be
bowled. In addition, the number
of ways in which the batsman can
be given out is reduced to three.
In shorter competition cricket, a batsman receives a 'free
hit' on the ball after any kind of no-ball (see below). This
means the batsman can freely hit one ball with no danger of
being out in most ways.
It is also a no-ball when the bowler's back foot lands touching or wide of the return
crease. A delivery may be judged to be a noball by the umpire because it is dangerous or unfair,
i.e. a fast short pitched delivery (a "bouncer") may be so judged, and any high fullpitched
delivery (a "beamer"), or any deliberate front-foot fault (deliberate overstepping), is inherently
dangerous or unfair.
Free hit after No ball
Free hit is a cricket term, relevant in One Day Internationals and
Twenty20 matches. When a bowler bowls a no-ball, in the immediate
next ball the batsman cannot be ruled out in any dismissal modes
other than those applicable for a no-ball, namely run out, hit the ball
twice and obstructing the field. Additionally, if the ball is delivered full
toss above the waist the batsman receives a free hit. It came into
international cricket in October 2007.

The fielding team is not allowed to change the field on the free hit
ball, if the same batsman (who received the original no-ball) is on
strike. However, for safety reasons, if the wicketkeeper is standing
up at the stumps he is allowed to move back to a more traditional
position.
# THE UMPIRE SIGNAL
How runs are scored and team Win
Scoring in cricket matches involves two elements – the number of runs scored and the number
of wickets lost by each team. The scorer is someone appointed to record all runs scored, all
wickets taken and, where appropriate, the number of overs bowled. In professional games, in
compliance with the Laws of Cricket, two scorers are appointed, most often one provided by
each team
The scorers have no say in whether runs or extras are scored, wickets taken or overs bowled.
This is the job of the umpires on the field of play, who signal to the scorers in cases of
ambiguity such as when runs are to be given as extras rather than credited to the batsmen,
or when the batsman is to be awarded a boundary 4 or 6. So that the umpire knows that they
have seen each signal, the scorers are required to immediately acknowledge it.

While it is possible to keep score using a pencil and plain paper, scorers often use pre-printed
scoring books, and these are commercially available in many different styles.
 Simple score books allow the recording of each
batsman's runs, their scores and mode of
dismissal, the bowlers' analyses, the team score
and the score at the fall of each wicket. More
sophisticated score books allow for the recording of
more detail, and other statistics such as the number of
balls faced by each batsman. Scorers also sometimes

produce their own scoring sheets to suit their

techniques, and some use coloured pens to
highlight events such as wickets, or
differentiate the actions of different batsmen
or bowlers.
It is often possible to tell from a modern scorecard the time at which everything occurred, who
bowled each delivery, which batsman faced it, whether the batsman left the ball or played and
missed, or which direction the batsman hit the ball and whether runs were scored. Sometimes
details of occurrences between deliveries, or incidental details like the weather, are recorded.
In early times runs scored were sometimes simply recorded by carving notches on a stick – this
root of the use of the slang term "notches" for "runs". In contrast, scoring in the modern game
has become a specialism, particularly for international and national cricket competitions. While
the scorers' role is clearly defined under the Laws of Cricket to be merely the recording of
runs, wickets and overs, and the constant checking of the accuracy of their records with each
other and with the umpires, in practice a modern scorer's role is complicated by other
requirements. For instance, cricket authorities often require information about matters such as
the rate at which teams bowled their overs. The media also ask to be notified of records,
statistics and averages. For many important matches, unofficial scorers keep tally for the
broadcast commentators and newspaper journalists allowing the official scorers to concentrate
undisturbed. In the English county game, the scorers also keep score on a computer that
updates a central server, to meet the demands of the online press that scores should be as up-to-
date as possible.The official scorers occasionally make mistakes, but unlike umpires'
mistakes these may be corrected after the event.Some cricket statisticians who keep score
unofficially for the printed and broadcast media have become quite famous, for instance Bill
Frindall, who scored for the BBC radio commentary team from 1966 to 2008, and Jo King.
