There is a sport called Cricket.
In the sport of cricket bowling is the action of propelling the ball toward the wicket defended by a batsman . 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 other batsman , known as the non-striker , waits at the opposite end of the pitch near the bowler . 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 ) .
