Volleyball matches generally aren’t played for a specific time, they are played in ‘sets’. FIVB Volleyball rules are that a team needs to win 3 ‘sets’ to win a match so a team can win 3 sets to 0, 3-1 or 3-2 so it can be hard to predict how long a match might take as it may consist of only 3 sets (if a team wins 3-0) or as many as 5 (if a team wins 3-2) Many local volleyball leagues and tournaments have their own rules re. How a match is won.

This can be a reduced number of sets (typically 3) or even timed matches (for example in an indoor tournament where time is limited and a certain number of matches must be played). I’m a little confused about the scoring of point, how do we score ponts? For instance, if I serve and lose the serve is it a point to the opponent the? Or is it just a lost of serve and not a point? Again in the game if I serve and the oppenents return the ball directly we fail to play the ball, will it be a point for the oppornents? How are points counted here?

2nd question: is there such thing as that u have to fold ur hands in a form of a dig when u kick the ball and if not its a faul? Last question: can the refre reduce points of the team when maybe they don’t comply? If she was trying to tip then it’s fine to block. If she was trying to set then you can’t interfere with the set by reaching over the net. Simultaneous contact with the ball is fine and play should have continued as per the FIVB volleyball rules below: 9.1.2.2 When two opponents touch the ball simultaneously over the net and the ball remains in play, the team receiving the ball is entitled to another three hits. If such a ball goes “out”, it is the fault of the team on the opposite side.

9.1.2.3 If simultaneous hits by two opponents over the net lead to an extended contact with the ball, play continues.

The great (Australia) in practice, 1930s/1940s. His batting average is the all-time best Cricket is a national sport which is played between two teams of eleven players each who score runs (points) by running between two sets of three small, wooden posts called.

Each of the wickets is at one end of a rectangle of flattened grass called the pitch. Around the pitch is a much larger oval of grass called the cricket ground.There is 30 yard circle between the ground (stadium). The game started in in the 16th century. The earliest definite reference to the sport is in a case of 1598. The court in heard a, John Derrick, that when he was a scholar at the 'Free School at Guildford', fifty years earlier, 'he and diverse of his fellows did run and play [on the common land] at cricket and other players'. Later, the game spread to countries of the in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, it is a popular sport in England,, the (,, and ),,, the and several other countries such as,,,, the and.

Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • Cricket rules [ ] There are two teams: The team bowling has 11 players on the field. The team batting always has two players on the field. The aim of Cricket is to score more 'Runs' than the other team. Runs are gained by batsmen running between the wickets after a ball has been bowled, hitting the ball over the boundary, or by the umpires penalizing the bowling side for bowling an illegal ball. The captain of the bowling team chooses a bowler from his team; the other 10 players are called fielders. The bowler is trying to aim the ball at a, which is made up of three sticks (called stumps) stuck into the earth, with two small sticks (called bails) balanced on them.

One of the fielders, called the wicket keeper, stands behind the wicket to catch the ball if the bowler misses the wicket. The other fielders chase the ball after the batsman has hit it. The bowler runs towards his wicket, and bowls towards the batsman at the other wicket. He does not throw the ball. He bowls the ball overarm with a straight arm. If he bends his arm, the other teams are given one run and he has to bowl the ball again.

An 'over' is six balls meaning he bowls six times. Then another player becomes the bowler for the next over, and bowls from the other end, and so on. The same bowler cannot bowl two overs one after the other. The batsman is trying to defend the wicket from getting hit with the ball.

He does this with a bat. When he hits the ball with his bat, he may run toward the other wicket.

To score a run, the two batsmen must both run from their wicket to the other wicket, as many times as they can, before they can be run out. Being run out is explained below. If the ball leaves the field after being hit without bouncing, six runs are scored. If the ball rolls or bounces out, whether or not the batter hit it, it counts as four runs. There are different ways that a batsman can get out. The most common ways are: The batsman misses the ball and the ball hits the wicket: called bowled, or being 'bowled out'. The ball hits the batsman's body when it would have hit the wicket otherwise.

Called LBW (leg before wicket). The way this rule is applied is complicated; this is just the general idea.

A fielder catches the ball after the batsman hits it, and before it bounces or leaves the field: called caught. While the batsmen are running, a fielder can throw the ball at the wicket. If the batsmen cannot finish the run in time, and the ball hits the wicket, the batsman nearer to the wicket that is hit is out: this is called run out.

When a batsman is out, another comes onto the field to take his place. The innings is over when ten wickets are taken (i.e. Ten of the eleven batsmen are out). After this, the team which was the 'fielding' team becomes the 'batting' team.

They now have to score more runs than the other team managed to score. If they score more runs before ten wickets are taken, they win. If they do not, the other team wins. In a one-day game, each side has one innings, and innings are limited to a certain number of overs. In longer formats each side has two innings, and there is no specific limit to the number of overs in an innings.

Where cricket is played [ ] Cricket is popular in many countries, mostly in countries. The countries where cricket is most popular compete in international matches (games between countries) that last up to 5 days, which are called. Those countries are England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. The West Indies are a group of countries that play together as a team.

Several other countries have more junior status. The test match idea was invented by teams from England and Australia in the 19th century.Ireland and Afghanistan are the new teams which can play Test cricket. Cricket is also played in,,,, and Namibia; the national teams of those countries can play one-day international matches, but do not play test matches. Pakistan is not able to play international cricket at home at present (for security reasons).

The Cricket pitch dimensions The field [ ] A cricket field is where cricket is played. It is or -shaped ground. There are no fixed dimensions for the field.

National league systems [ ] Called counties in England, and states in Australia and islands in the West Indies. These are three or four day matches.

Limited overs cricket [ ]. A perspective view of the from the end. The bowler runs in past one side of the wicket at the bowler's end, either 'over' the wicket or 'round' the wicket. In these games, the length is determined by the number of overs, and each side has one innings only. A special formula, known as the 'Duckworth–Lewis method' is applied if rain reduces the time for play. It calculates the target score for the team batting second in a limited overs match interrupted by weather or other circumstance.

One day internationals [ ] ODIs are usually restricted to 50 overs batting for each side. The highest team score is England 444-3 against Pakistan in August 2016.

Averages [ ] In cricket there are two special kinds of, used to measure how good a player is: • A 's batting average is the number of he has scored in a period (such as a year or his whole career), divided by the number of times he was got out in the same period. A good batsman has a high batting average. The highest T20 average for a batsman who has played at least 20 innings is 70.66 by Chris Harris. • A 's bowling average is the number of runs that have been scored while he was bowling, in a period, divided by the number of batsmen he has got out in the same period. A good bowler has a low bowling average. The lowest T20 bowling average for a bowler who has bowled at least 500 balls is Mushtaq Ahmed with 13.80.

There is a separate set of averages for each type of cricket listed above. Related pages [ ] • • References [ ].
