Cricket is played by twenty-two persons, eleven on each side, and two umpires, with two persons to score and count the innings. Thirteen players play at one time, viz., two strikers, one bowler, one wicket-keeper, long-stop, short-stop, point, cover, middle-wicket, long-field, off-side, on-side, and leg; of these the two strikers are the inside, or have their innings. The object of the game is to get the greatest number of runs, and this is to be done by the strikers. Each side having been in once and out once, the first innings is concluded, and, we might say, a complete game has been played, but in most matches another innings is played. The scorers keep the account of runs to each striker separately for each innings. The side that has obtained the greatest number of runs, wins the game. The arrangement of the players in the field is as follows:-- +--------------------------------------+ 6 * 8 * 9 * 7 10 5 * * * 4 3 1 1 2 * * * * * 12 11 * * +--------------------------------------+ ORDER OF THE PLAYERS. 1. Striker. 2. Bowler. 3. Wicket-keeper. 4. Long-stop. 5. Short-stop. 6. Long-slip. 7. Point. 8. Cover. 9. Middle-wicket. 10. Long-field, off-side. 11. Long-field, on-side. 12. Leg.
