Simple Cricket is a new sport created by Idan Avni from Israel in July 2019. The sport is a simple version of cricket meant to be played in a span of under an hour and with fewer rules so its more fun and fast-paced.

Sport Description

The Field:

• The field is a round area with a pitch in the middle.
• A batsman stands across from the bowler on the pitch.

Intro:

• The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible.
• The game starts after a coin toss. The team that wins the toss can elect to field or bat first.

Game-play:

• The fielding team shall have 4 players in the field and one bowler.
• The bowler will roll the ball on the pitch.
• The batsman will have to hit the ball with his bat.

How to get the batsman out:

• Behind the batsman is a wicket.
• The bowler can get the batsman out by hitting the wicket with his roll. (Thrown Out)
• If the batsman hits the ball a catch by a fielder also gets him out.
  (Caught Out)
• If the ball touches the field a fieldsman will have to through the ball on the wicket to get the batsman out.

Scoring:

• If the batsman hits the ball he is eligible to score.
• He must run from one side of the pitch to the other to score a point.
• He can do this as many times as he wants until a ball hits the wicket.
• This scores one point.
• If the ball hits the walls of the field 4 points are scored
• If the ball goes out of the field 6 points are scored.

Switching Sides:

• The offensive team will keep batting in a set order until all five batsmen are out. 
• Then the teams will switch sides and the fielding team will try to pass the teams score.

Overtime:

• If a game is tied after both teams have bat (known as an inning) both teams will play again but with only one batsman. The team which fielded first will bat.
• The process is repeated until there is a winner.
