You've likely heard of baseball cricket at some point. You might be curious about the rules and how to play it. There are some basics that you should know in order to play well. You will learn the terms and the playing conditions in this article.
Baseball terminology
Although the sports are closely related in many ways they are very different in terms of terminology. Although "wicket", is used to describe a piece o wood protruding from the ground it can also refer to a pitch, or the innings of a cricketer. The catcher's glove is the baseball equivalent to the wicket. The ball doesn't bounce evenly is called "sticky wicket" in other terms.
While the exact origins of baseball is not known, it is believed that the game originated in England around the beginning of the 18th century. Cricket is derived form cric, which stands for crooked stick. The earliest versions of the game were played with curved bats, not baseballs. New York City's first cricket club was formed in 1846. But, during the American Civil War, the game became less popular.
Its rules
Although they are both similar in many ways to cricket, there are still some differences. For example, in baseball, batters are required to run to first base. Players at bases must reach their home plate, and they must leave their base. In cricket, however, players do not have to run. If three or more offensive players have been thrown out, a half-inning can still be called.
