What are the 10 basic rules of cricket?

A team is considered to have scored when five runs are required. Two runs are required in the first, ten runs are needed in the second and then a total of fifty would be required if we count the batsmen scoring two runs in consecutive overs.

Team batting time is based on scoring six runs in each over. This is why scoring three points in an innings make more score than scoring one hundred. In case the other team scores four times a team gets 50.

There are rules and regulations in cricket that can help you predict what a certain bowler will do.

Here are the 10 basic rules of Cricket:

 

1. Not conceding a run when any bowler is dismissed without giving a reason.

2. Not allowing another bowler to get even close in the race. As soon as anyone gets out before an opponent, it means you can start winning the match.

3. When a batter wants to take off the bails, he can take them but don't get too far.

4. If an opponent gets all his wickets within 30 minutes, they will be declared the winner.

5. Before taking an over, check the field and let your bowlers know about it.

6. Try to control the ball as much as possible in order to get yourself in and out of it as soon as your opponent reaches it.

7. Always ask for an over if you feel like you've got a chance to break off from the pack because the opposition may pull some quick wicket.

8. Try to save the maximum number of overs.

9. Don't concede in front of the goal. You need to score at least four runs before you bow.

10. It's always a good idea to start with a cover drive and end with an outside edge.

When a fielder hits the ground after scoring a hundred. The umpire's decision is final and whoever scores the highest number wins. But there is no requirement to score 100 runs before the umpire's decision. A batter cannot score 100 in every single over as it becomes hard to calculate the team winning when the batter has only scored 20.

Before starting my career I used to think that if someone can score a hundred, then he can score 200. That was one of the many misconceptions among students who were looking forward to joining cricket. After playing for a few years I started understanding things better and began learning how these rules affect me.

Some people think that if one can score 200-200 then it doesn't mean they can also score 300-300. Well, not really. For example, if one can only score 200 then it doesn't mean it won't be enough to win the match. So that person who has just scored 200 in the previous over would be able to score less than 150 and that's not going to be enough because he can still go beyond that point.

Cricket is a big game and it can become very easy to confuse the situation where two groups find themselves in the thick of each other. But then again, both groups will try their best to go ahead and score a hundred without considering the other group and that might create problems. Nowadays most people understand this and if anything they can talk to the referees about a change of the umpire's decision. We need an impartial umpire in our lives and it needs to be a third player to give us the right decision that we deserve.

If one person can score 200 in every single match then certainly it might help him score 2000 or even 3000. If we can score 2000 after the batting team score 25 runs then maybe we can score 4000 after scoring 15 runs. If we can score more than 5000 in our last over then the match is over!

It wouldn't be bad if one day we also had a system that will make it easier for people to reach the team's base. For example, to hit an extra hundred you have to pass through the home line with a minimum of 150 runs. So if one can score 200 and pass through 100 runs then they may well be able to score 600. If one can play 100 in every single over then they can score 40-50 runs. And it's not really impossible for anyone to do that.
