For protection purposes, cricket players will wear padding. Fielders also have cleats to provide a better grip. The Umpires determine fair play and foul play. The game has many rules. Those who don't follow the rules will be punished.
Batsmen wear a host of padding
Protective equipment can be worn by batsmen to help them avoid injury during cricket matches. They use helmets, leg guards, inner thigh protectors, boxing gloves, chest guards, and even chest guards. They also wear spiked shoes and white clothing. The cork ball comes in two colors: red or white.
Fielders have cleats for better grip
Special shoes are designed to help cricket fielders grip better on the ground. These shoes are equipped with spikes to raise the height at the ankle. This is a way for the fielder not to let the ball cross the field's edge. These shoes can be used for running and bowling.
Overthrows can occur when batsmen take more runs
If the bowler takes more runs than the batsmen, an overthrow is possible. This happens when the bowler is unable to reach the stumps in time for the ball to reach the batsman. Throws from the outfield take about two to three seconds to reach pitch. This type of overthrow is very rare. A successful overthrow usually results in an additional three or two runs for the batsmen. This is an addition to the team total.
The umpires are the sole judges of fair or unfair play
The umpire will decide what constitutes fair or unfair cricket play. If there is any doubt about whether the situation is fair, an umpire may intervene. Captains must respond if the umpire intervenes.
Pitch sizes
There are various sizes of cricket pitches. An under-9 team's cricket pitch should be about half the length of a full-sized one. Cricket pitches for under-15s are typically 22 yards long. Under-13s and under-11s usually use a pitch that is approximately 21 yards long. A pitch that is less than 9 years old should be approximately 16 yards in length.
