Shachin Tendulkar Profile

Profile

Sachin Tendulkar has been the largest part complete batsman of his time, the largest prolific run maker of all time, and possibly the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that insubstantial quality given only to geniuses: anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally skillful at each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.

Indian Cricket

Cricket is played between two teams, 11 players each side, and gives the maximum opportunity for combining team effort with individual skillfulness and inventiveness. Each team bats, or takes its innings; in turn the choice for first innings is by toss. The game is played on a pitch on which two wickets are placed 22 yards (20.12 m) apart, this distance can be condensed for children.
The two bats men preserve the wickets against the bowling of the fielding side, and when a bats man is 'out' someone else come on his place, and so on until ten bats men are out or until the innings has been affirmed closed. A bowler from the other side bowls an over of 6 balls from one end to the other bats man defending his wicket, and aims to send away him in one of the ways provided for in the Laws. The more used methods of dismissing a bats man are the bowling straight on the striker's wicket, catching him from a stroke, his being Leg before wicket, stumping by the wicket keeper when he has gone out of his ground, and by either bats man being run out.
Over are bowled successively from rotate ends. No bowler can bowl two overs in succession, but otherwise the captain of the fielding side can change his bowling as he thinks it should do well to him. The score is reckoned by 'runs', i.e. the number of times the bats men run from one end to another of the area between the 'popping creases' at each end of the pitch. Runs are usually the result of hits, but can be scored when the ball has not actually been hit by the striker, e.g. 'Byes' and 'Leg byes', or as penalties for 'Wides' and 'No balls'. The fielding side has the twofold object of dismissing the opposite bats men and of preventing them from scoring runs.
When the first team has ended its innings, the other team starts its own. A match may consist of one or two innings by one side. The side scoring the largest total of runs in the match wins. If the match is not played out to a finish, it is regarded as drawn.

Cricket Information

Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport. Many variations exist, with its most well-liked form played on an oval-shaped outdoor arena known as a cricket ground at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard (20.12 m) long pitch that is the focus of the game. A game (or match) is contest between two teams of eleven players each. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the outstanding batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams control between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.
There are also variations in the extent of a game of cricket. In professional cricket this range from a limit of 20 over per side (Twenty20) to a game played over 5 days (Test cricket, which is the top level of the game). Depending on the form of the match being played, there are different policies that govern how a game is won, lost, drawn or tied. The rules of two-innings games are known as the Laws of Cricket and maintained by the ICC and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC); additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals supplement these laws. In one version of interior Cricket, matches comprise just 6 players per side and include two 12-over innings.
Cricket was first recognized as being played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to the point where it had become the countrywide sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played abroad and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. Today, the game's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), has 105 member countries. With its greatest status in the Test playing countries, cricket is the world's second most popular sport after Association football.
