The Young Cricket Player and Wicket
The player is standing near the wicket with a cricket bat in hand. Three stumps rise from the grass to form the main part of the wicket. Together, the bat, wicket, and field establish a cricket setting in which a batter protects the stumps while trying to score runs.
Facts About Batting in Cricket
A batter may score by hitting the ball and running between the two ends of the pitch, although some shots can reach the boundary. The wicket is made from three upright stumps with two small bails resting across the top. Because the ball may bounce before reaching the batter, judging its direction and height is an important part of batting.
