how do you score? - Will Hunting Jul 23, 14:06 3
- Basically, however many times you run between the wickets (sticks) if your score - Roger More Jul 23, 14:08 2
  - Okay....why does the field go all around the player? And how do you make outs? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 14:09 1
    - because there are no foul balls - once the batsman hits the ball, it can go in any direction - Roger More Jul 23, 14:13
