Batting is done in pairs. Once the first team has been bowled out the second team would then go into bat. Once the second team is then bowled out it would normally return to the first team batting again.
However there is an exception to this in the cricket rules, it is called the follow-on. The follow-on is when the first team makes at least runs more than the second team made in a 5 day test match.
This then gives the first team the option to make the second team bat again. This is particularly useful if the game is progressing slowly or affected by bad weather and there might not be enough time for both teams to play a full innings. This is called a declaration. Some may wonder why a captain would forfeit the opportunity for his team to bat. However if the game is coming close to a close and it looks like they will not be able to bowl the other team out again this could be an option.
If one team is not bowled out twice and a winner determined in the five days of play the game is declared a draw. Therefore it may be worth declaring an innings to creat the possibility of a win rather than a draw.
The aim of the batsmen is to score runs. In doing this one run is scored. Cricket rules state they may run multiple runs per shot. As well as running they can also score runs by hitting boundaries. A boundary scores the batsmen either 4 or 6 runs. A more obscure method of dismissal is handled the ball. This is covered by Law 33 of the Laws of Cricket. A batsman is dismissed handled the ball if they deliberately touch the ball with a hand that is not holding the bat, with an exemption if the batsman is doing it to avoid injury.
Only ten times in Test cricket and three times in one-day internationals has a batsman fallen this way. Late on a hot day, after a wayward throw towards the stumps, Hilditch picked up the ball and returned it to the bowler; only for the bowler to appeal and Hilditch to be dismissed.
Obstructing the field is another rare form of dismissal. Law 37 provides that a batsman is dismissed if they deliberately obstruct or distract the fielding team, such as by changing their course while running between the wickets to deflect a throw, or calling out to prevent a catch being taken.
Only once in Test cricket has a batsman been dismissed obstructing the field, in Thinking the ball would hit the stumps, Hutton hit the ball away, preventing the wicketkeeper from completing a catch. Six batsmen have been dismissed obstructing the field in one-day internationals; four of the six being from Pakistan. Obstructing The Field: If a batsman deliberately interferes with the efforts of fielders to gather the ball or effect a run out.
This does not include running a path between the fielder and the wicket so that the fielder cannot throw the stumps down with the ball, which is quite legal, but does include any deliberate attempt to swat the ball away. Hit The Ball Twice: If a batsman hits a delivery with his bat and then deliberately hits the ball again for any reason other than to defend his wicket from being broken by the ball.
If the ball is bouncing or rolling around near the stumps, the batsman is entitled to knock it away so as to avoid being bowled, but not to score runs. Timed Out: If a new batsman takes longer than two minutes, from the time the previous wicket falls, to appear on the field.
These methods of getting out are listed in approximate order of how commonly they occur. The first five are reasonably common, the last five quite rare. The last three methods are almost never invoked. Forgot password?
