Descriptive Essay About Cricket

The origins of baseball have been the subject of debate for more than a century. Baseball and the other modern bat and ball running games like, cricket and rounders, were developed from folk games in England. Early forms of baseball had a number of names, including "baseball," "goal ball," "round ball," "fletch-catch," "stool ball," and simply, "base." In one version of the game, teams pitched to themselves and runners went around the bases in the opposite direction that they do in today's game. Players also could be put out by being hit with the ball just as now, in some versions a batter was called out on three strikes. There isn’t much that you need for the sport all you really need a bat, ball, leather gloves optional something to signify where the bases are, and the last thing is a team. In a team, there is a coach and 9 players for each spot. There is 3 outfielders, 3 basemen, 1 short man, a pitcher, and lastly a catcher. The basic gist of the game is that you need to get the most points by running

The player can not run with the ball, so they need to throw it where they caught it from.

Running, catching, and hitting are some types of actions used in the game of baseball.

LAW 5 - Referees- The referee makes sure that these 17 laws are followed throughout the game. In soccer when there is a foul committed then the referee can either decide to stop the game and give a free kick or let the game play on to see if the team who gains the foul receives an advantage in the play (shot on goal, goal, pass up field and other plays are considered advantages).

In each half of an inning one team bats while the other plays the field. If the score is tied after nine innings are over then the game is continued into extra innings and is concluded when one team is winning after an extra inning. These are the basic rules of baseball.

In June 1871, the formal set of rules was made and was called the 59 laws of the game. The team competes for two forty minute halves. It is almost continuous except when the referee calls time outs for injuries, which happens all the time and is why those who fancy aggression and violence enjoy it. There can only be six substitutions and once a player is substituted they may not re-enter the game. (Rugby History, 1)

1. After a bowler has found a mark then the bowler can adjust the placement of their feet in order to get the bowling ball to hit the pocket and get a strike.

For Newton's first law of motion which states that "every object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force" is seen in both pitching and hitting. When the game is on going pitchers wait for a signal from the catcher before throwing. While they are waiting they hold the baseball in their glove or hand before throwing. Once they receive the signal they windup their arm and send the ball into motion down to home base. Pitchers uses Newton's first law of motion in order to throw fastballs, sliders, and curve balls. When you are up at bat you wait until the pitcher sets the ball in motion. Once the ball is in motion the hitter sets the bat in motion by swinging at the

■The deliberate roughing of a passer after the ball has left his hand is unnecessary roughness. (Previously, the passer was protected after the pass had been made if he was “obviously out of the play.”)

Cricket was a very fair and fun sport until a little rivalry came along to create problems. This rivalry was created when the Quadrangular tournament began and after India was split into two subcontinents, India and Pakistan. “Even the sacred field of sport they would not leave unmolested. That is why things have become what they are on the cricket field today. That is why Quadrangular cricket has degenerated into religious rivalry” (Doc 7).

The rules of play for soccer have deliberately been kept simple. The referee makes most of the decisions, and attempts to encourage fair play. The game starts off with a kick off, and the teams are allowed to pass, dribble, juggle, head, kick, and shoot the ball to place it down the field, and (hopefully, or eventually) into their opponent’s goal. If the ball is kicked off the field over the length of the field, the other team is given a throw-in, where the ball is thrown over the player’s head, and back onto the field. If the ball is kicked over the goal, or across the width of the field, either a corner kick results (by the offensive team, where the ball is placed on the corner of the field and kicked into play) or the defensive team is awarded a goal kick, where the ball is placed on the corner of the goal box, and kicked back into play. If a goal is scored, the ball is taken back to the center of

The game of baseball originated from a game called rounders. Rounders consisted of two teams, a striking team and a fielding team. The striking team’s goal was to hit the ball in order to score “rounders,” or runs, in modern baseball. The rules were similar to the rules of baseball today. There were two teams consisting of nine players and four bases. One difference between rounders and baseball is that there is no foul territory in rounders. Any hit ball is in play and the player may run. In baseball, the ball must be hit in between the foul lines painted on the third and first base lines (Olmos).

The beginning of baseball has had it twist on who started the game and who made the rules to the game. The sport we know as baseball was original name stickball before it became an organized sport. Baseball was a game that many just played as part of their moderate exercise for recreational purpose or time and they used the game to stay in shape. It was usually a middle class white -collar worker who played the game.

The teams have very different roles depending on whether they are at bat or catching. At bat players are tasked to open a play and run the lanes until they cross the escape line. Catching players are tasked to hit the players running the lanes with the ball. There can be a maximum of 2 players running in each lane at the same time. A player can be hit in both lanes once. Oina is actually what baseball was based off of. The team at bat is selected by a ritual where the players have to grab the bat, thrown by the referee, and the last one to be able to place at least 4 fingers on the bat wins. The game begins with the team at bat, with one of the players throwing the ball while another player of the same team has to hit it with a wooden bat and
