French Cricket

French Cricket is one of types of cricket we used to play when I was in grade 4th to 8th. We used to play during our lunch time. The reason :) we used to not get the bat, ball and wicket from our PT teachers.
So do we make the bat.....we used to have a broken bench wooden bat like piece. We used to keep this safe and hidden from the teachers so that they do not put it back to the store, So this was our bat. Then we used either bring the tennis ball in the pocket or make a paper ball. So we had all that we wanted.


OK....here is the rule of cricket.

• Have a bat , a ball, a team with few players :), and a small place
  
• Now mark a circle (1 ft: as much as one can stand)
• Now a person from the batting team comes and then stands within the circle
• All the members of fielding team are bowlers here. To start with one person can start from a certain point that we decide to throw the ball. (say from about a distance of 6-7 ft)
• The bowler need to do an under arm bowling
• And a batsman is considered to be OUT, if the ball touches the leg below the knee or a one pitch catch (for ball that pitches) or by any chance if he goes outside the circle
  
• The batsman is suppose to guard his knee and make runs
• Oh....i forgot how to make runs....Once the batsman hits the ball he needs to rotate the bat around him. completion of one round is a RUN, Batsman can rotate till the fielder completes the throw action
• Fielder who throws is the current bowler
• So what if the batsman forever guards his legs....(we used to have some time span for a team). if the ball gets lost or any delay is tracked. This is normally the area where we used to have fights
  

Tips and Tricks.
Place a bowler just behind the batsman, make the bowler throw in such a way that the
batsman misses and the batsman is exposed in danger.

This was a really nice cute title game. Wish we could still play in the company :)
