The Complete Guide To Understanding Cricket






If you aren’t familiar with cricket, it can be a difficult game to follow. There are a number of elements similar to baseball, paired with others that are utterly unique and sometimes baffling. It can be difficult to understand what strategies the players are pursuing, and even fundamental questions like “who is winning?” don’t always have simple answers. But once you know the basics, cricket is great.

How The Game Is Played

Just like baseball, there is a batting team and a fielding team. One member of the fielding team hurls the ball at the batsman, who wields a wooden bat and attempts to hit the ball around the field, scoring runs either by running or hitting the ball into the crowd. The fielding team tries to achieve two complementary aims: to get the batsmen out, and to limit the number of runs scored by the batsmen.

The Rules of the Game

Each team comprises 11 players. All 11 of the fielding team’s players take the field, along with two from the batting team, and two umpires. The game takes place on a grass oval, roughly 150 meters long and 130 meters across (although it varies from ground to ground). In the middle of the oval is the ‘pitch’, a 22-yard-long strip of rock-hard earth covered by very short grass. At each end of the pitch stand three wooden stakes (‘stumps’ or ‘wickets’), with two wooden pieces (‘bails’) resting on top, giving the look of a small wooden castle.

Biological Classification.

since the dawn of civilization their have been many attempts to classify living organism.it was done instinctively not using criteria that were scientific but borne out of a need to use organism for our use for food, shelter and clothing.Aristotle was the earliest to attempt more scientific basis for classification.He used simple morphological characters to classify plants in to trees,shrubs and herbs.He also divided animals in to two groups, those which had red blood and those that it did not. In Linnaeus time a TWO KINGDOM System of classification with PLANTAE and ANIMALIA kingdom was developed that included all plants and animals respectively.This wsas used till very recently.This system did not distinguish between the eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular organism and photosynthetic and non photosynthetic organism.Classification of organism into plants and animals was easily done to understand, inspite, a large number of the organism did not fall to either ca

Butterfly life cycle.

The Butterfly Life Cycle  Let’s explore a butterfly’s life cycle in detail, including all four stages of life. All butterflies have "complete metamorphosis." To grow into an adult they go through 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Each stage has a different goal - for instance, caterpillars need to eat a lot, and adults need to reproduce. Depending on the type of butterfly, the life cycle of a butterfly may take anywhere from one month to a whole year. You can print out this Butterfly Life Cycle coloring page to follow along as we talk about the 4 stage.
