Cricket has players.
Cricket . At the start of each game , two batsmen and eleven fielders enter the field of play . The play begins when a member of the fielding team , known as the bowler , delivers the ball from one end of the pitch to the other , towards the wicket at that end , in front of which stands one of the batsmen , known as the striker . A dismissed batsman must leave the field , and a teammate replaces him . An innings is one of the divisions of a cricket match during which one team takes its turn to bat .
