• Cricket is a bat-and-ball game
played between two teams of eleven
players each on a cricket field, at the centre of which is a rectangular (прямокутна) 22-yard-long pitch with a target called the wicket (хвіртка) (a set of three wooden stumps topped by two bails) (кінці) at each end. • Before a match begins, the two team captains meet on the pitch for the toss (of a coin) to determine which team will bat first. Two batsmen and eleven fielders then enter the field and play begins when a member of the fielding team, known as the bowler, delivers (i.e., bowls) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end, which is guarded by one of the batsmen, known as the striker. In addition to the bowler, the fielding team includes the wicket-keeper (воротар), a specialist who stands behind the striker's wicket. • The game underwent major development in the 18th century to become England's national sport. Its success was underwritten by the twin necessities of patronage and betting. Cricket was prominent in London as early as 1707. The single wicket form of the sport attracted huge crowds and wagers to match, its popularity peaking in the 1748 season. • The main objective of each team is to score more runs than their opponents but, in some forms of cricket, it is also necessary to dismiss all of the opposition batsmen in their final innings in order to win the match, which would otherwise be drawn.[63] If the team batting last is all out having scored fewer runs than their opponents, they are said to have "lost by n runs“. 1.
