You've probably heard of baseball cricket. But you may be wondering about the rules and how you can get involved. To play well, you will need to be familiar with the basics. You'll find out about the terms and the conditions.
The terms used in baseball
While they may share many similarities, the terminology for the two sports is different. The term "wicket" can be defined as a piece or an innings of batsman, but it also means that a piece of wood pokes out of the ground. The catcher's gloves is the baseball equivalent of the wicket. When the ball does not bounce evenly, other terminology is used such as "sticky wicket".
The origins of baseball are not well known, but the game evolved in England in the early 18th century. Cricket is a crooked stick. In the early versions of the game, curved bats were used instead of baseballs. New York City established a cricket club in 1846. The game was less popular during the American Civil War.
Its rules
Although cricket and baseball have many similarities, there are also some key differences. For example, baseball batters must run to first base. Base players must run to their home plate and leave their bases. 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.
