Each consisting of six consecutive legal deliveries bowled by the same bowler.
END OF AN INNINGS
An inning is completed if
Ten out of eleven batsman are “out” (dismissed)--- the team are all out.
The team has only one batsman left who can bat (the others being incapacitated
either through injury, illness or absence)----again, the team are all out.
The team batting last reaches the score required to win the match.
The predetermined number of overs are bowled (in a one-day match only, usually
50 overs.
A captain declares his team’s innings closed (this does not apply to one-day limited
over matches).
Playing time
Typically, two innings matches are played over three to five days with at least six
hours of cricket being played each day.
One inning matches are usually played over one day for six hours or more.
There are formal intervals on each day for lunch and tea, and shorter breaks for
drinks, where is necessary.
There is also a short interval between innings.
The game is only played in dry weather.
The game needs to be played in daylight.
