The cricket player, bat, and wickets

The page depicts a boy standing on a cricket pitch with a bat in his hands and wickets close by. The grass setting is part of the playing field, while the wickets mark an important target in the game. A batter uses the flat-faced bat to strike the ball and protect the wicket during play.

What happens around the wickets

A wicket is made from three upright stumps topped by two small pieces called bails. The bowler sends the ball toward the batter and may try to hit the wicket, while the batter attempts to strike the ball away. After a successful hit, players can score runs by moving between the two ends of the pitch.
