Indoor Cricket: Basic Rules

Indoor  Cricket  is  play  usually  in  a warehouse.  The size of
indoor  cricket  court  is  30  meters  x  10  meters  with  nets
surrounding  the court.  The ground is concert with astro turf on
top.  The cricket pitch is the same length as normal cricket.  We
don't  use  a  real  cricket  ball,  we  use a tennis ball with a
cricket ball casing.

BASIC RULES

Indoor cricket has the same basic rules as normal cricket except:

* The game is played over 16 overs.
* Bowlers can only bowl only 2 overs.
* Batmans can only bat for 4 overs.
* You can get caught out off the net.
* When you get out you lose 5 runs  (The batman stays in  until  he
  has completed his 4 overs).
* You  get  runs  by  hitting  the  ball and  running,  hitting  to
  different  sections  of the court (4 & 6 runs possible).  Also by
  the bowler bowling a no ball or a wide (it cost 2 runs).
