CRICKET IN LEXINGTON LEXINGTON CRICKET LEAGUE - LCL WWW.LEXCRICKET.ORG CRICKET - INTRODUCTION • Cricket is a bat - and -ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at the center of which is a rectangular 22- yard -long pitch. • The game is played by 120 million players in many countries, making it the world's second most popular sport after association football. • The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman who attempts to hit the ball with his bat away from the fielders so he can run to the other end of the pitch and score a run. • Each batsman continues batting until he is out. • Another major challenge is that unlike "baseball ", in cricket, the ball is typically bounced on the field before the batter strikes the ball. Therefore the "batting diamond" which in cricket lingo is called a "Pitch" needs to be quite even surface to prevent uneven bounce of the ball. • Cricket is the most popular sport of India. The current Indian diaspora in Lexington has seen s major growth in numbers and would like to add to our local community some flavored of our popular culture and activities in the last 2 years. • In 1844, the first international cricket match took place between the United States and Canada (although neither has ever been ranked as a Test - playing nation, cricket was the most popular team sport in America until its displacement by baseball in the 1860s).

We are looking to your leadership to help us get set with the right platform and space required in our town to play and enjoy this second most popular sport of the world. The youth of Lexington, from age 7 unto 14 years have been trying to learn and play cricket in Lexington since last 3 years on uneven grounds and always competing for space and time. Another major challenge is that unlike "baseball ", in cricket, the ball is typically bounced on the field before the batter strikes the ball. Therefore the "batting diamond" which in cricket lingo is called a "Pitch" needs to be quite even surface to prevent uneven bounce of the ball. Our request would be to find a field that we can call the 'Home Field' for cricket, and all it needs is a 22 Yards X 10 Feet rectangle space in the middle of the field that is even and flat as per cricketing standards. This rectangle pitch can be astro- turf as a better option.
