Recently a new topic for double rewards was announced by Micky about cricket and accessories for our avatars. It is basically to celebrate and promote upcoming World Cup in March 2016. As per topic’s requirement, I’m going to be covering a little introduction of international cricket with discussing about avatar accessories, e.g. pants, shirts or cricket bat. I’ll try my best to merge and summarize cricket and Items available for users in Cricket Section of Bitlanders’ online shop.
I saw some of my friends from other countries saying they can’t blog about this topic because they do not have knowledge of cricket and it is not played much in their country. Let me tell you that you need to know a basic knowledge about Cricket and if you don’t have, search or read my blog.
Let’s proceed with definition of cricket.
What is Cricket?

Stated as gentle men’s game, cricket is a game played in a large field of grass having pitch in middle of that ground or field. There are two teams per match, both of eleven players. Game is played with bat and ball and starts with a toss. The toss winner chooses to bat or ball. Only two players from batting team play on the pitch until one is caught out or bowled. Their goal is to make as many runs as they can by hitting the ball with bat and throwing it out of boundary or by running from on wicket to another. The opposite team has all eleven players on the field standing in an arranged manner who catch ball and stop the ball to cross boundary line.

This match is played with red ball and teams have to wear white dresses. Test Cricket lasts for 5 days having 90 overs per day. Each team plays 2 innings. To win the match one team must have more scores in scorecard and bowl out other team. If match does not end in 5 days, it is said to be drawn.

The game consists of 50 overs and both teams play one inning. Team which scores more runs than rival team wins. It is the simplest form of Cricket and doesn’t have complications to understand.

The difference between this and ODI Cricket is ODI is of 50 overs while T20 is played for 20 overs. Normally ends in not more than 3 hours because of 20 overs and therefore sometimes called “Quick Cricket”. You can still watch that match even if you are not really fond of watching cricket matches. It is the mostly played cricket match in the world.
