Reply to comment by biscuitslayer77 in Curtis Campher scores 72 not out and leads Irish victory over Scotland in Irelands highest ever run case by Risc_Terilia

Each team gets a turn to bat. When batting, they have 20 "overs" worth of balls to score off of. Each over is 6 balls. The bowler Wil bowl the ball 6 times in an attempt get the batsman out, while the batsman will attempt to hit the ball and score runs.

The batting team needs to post a high score between their collective batsmen. They have 20 overs and 10 outs to do this. If the bowling team gets all the batsmen out, that is also the end of the batting teams "innings".

It is then the job of the team batting second to chase the score and surpass it within, you guessed it, 20 overs and 10 outs.

This is a version called T-20, 20 overs. So it doesn't take as long as "One day" cricket, which has 50 overs an innings.

This is more like 3 hours

Bro that's nothing, there is also the OG form of cricket. "Test" match. Which goes for days and days.

How long does the average baseball game take? I feel like it's quite long. Same with NFL, every superb owl I've watched as been like the whole afternoon. When we watch MMA PPV's that's like most of the day if u start with the early prelims.
