Backyard Cricket
intro: also known as backgarden cricket in the uk, this is an informal game of cricket played in the confines of your green sp-ce out back.
equipment: a cricket bat, several tennis b-lls (because you always lose tennis b-lls) and set of stumps or a subst-tute such as a bin.
number of players: depends on size of garden/yard
rules: backyard cricket uses mostly the same rules as normal cricket but some notable exceptions, which can be used as desired:
-no lbw: essential for stability as backyard cricket has no umpires. although if you like m-ssive fights you might want to keep it in
-six and out: hit it over the fence and you’re out. and you must fetch the ball
-first ball rule: this means you can’t get out first ball. no idea why, maybe some people just can’t take goldies
-electric keeper: this is where any edges to the keeper/slip area are automatically out, as no one can be -rs-d to stand there
-one hand one bounce: a fielder can catch a batsman with one hand after the ball has bounced once and the batsman will be out. good if fielders are few in number
-electric wickets: if there is only one batsman at any one time, this rules means they can be run out at either end no matter which end they are running to
-test match: means both teams get two innings, used when both teams are cr-p and so innings will not last long
man: fancy a game of backyard cricket
man 2: sure but no one hand one bounce that really annoys me
