ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Street cricket

Street cricket is a fun way to play cricket outside. It can be played with just a few people, like a group of friends or a family. To play street cricket, you need a bat, a ball and some markers to mark where the batting and bowling area should be.

First, choose who will bat and who will bowl. The batting team stands in the batting area and the bowling team stands in the bowling area. Then, the bowling team rolls or throws the ball to the batting team. The batting team tries to hit the ball away with the bat and run around the markers, back and forth, until they get all the way around without being put out by the bowling team.

If the batting team can get all the way around without getting put out, they get a point. If they get put out they don't get any points. Play like this until one team has the most points at the end. The team with the most points wins the game!
