Also like many sports it can be played at an amateur and professional level. It basically has 3 formats in which it is played and these are the traditional test match, 50/50 and 20/20 formats. Test match is supposed to be played in 4 innings over a period of 5 days while a 50/50 game will late a day and a 20/20 game will take about 3-4 hrs.

In order to win a cricket game, a team is required to score more runs than their opposition where they are batting first or not.

For instance when you want to hit a square cut, you should be able to generate power to hit the ball so that it diverts from original course and then a strong wrists so as to be able to close the face of the bar and prevent the ball from going straight to the man fielding at point.
