There is a sport called Cricket.
In the sport of cricket , the crease is a certain area demarcated by white lines painted or chalked on the field of play , and pursuant to the rules of cricket they help determine legal play in different ways for the fielding and batting side . Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a cricket field , at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with a wicket ( a set of three wooden stumps ) at each end . The striker `` takes guard '' on a crease drawn on the pitch four feet in front of the wicket . In the sport of cricket , a dismissal occurs when the batsman is out ( also known as the fielding side taking a wicket and/or the batting side losing a wicket ) .
