5 Versions of unconventional cricket

5 Versions of unconventional cricket: Let’s go down the lane and recall those memories of broken windows and lost balls. Cricket is a game that unites the entire world. From New Zealand to Nepal, we all have grown up playing these versions of cricket. If Rohit Sharma played the ball past the lane then Michael Hussey was busy picking on the bowlers somewhere in Queensland. From Backyard cricket to Beach Cricket, these versions are a hit among cricket lovers. Lets relive the journey once again.

Here are 5 versions of cricket which we love watching.

1. Backyard Cricket:

Justin Langer started his unofficial cricket carrier by competing with his friends around the backyard. Ask Matthew Hayden, he will tell you how he belted his brother around the park and on occasions lost his off-stump too. The culture of backyard cricket is not only with Australia. From the lanes of B.G.Colony to the farms around Ahmedabad, you will come across many match winners.

A few rules:

• One drop one hand: Catches must be taken one-handed if the ball comes off the house/tree/fence or ground.
• Out of the fence.Wait!That’s out: Often we got out in this fashion. If you hit it over the fence you’re out and you have to get the ball. Now that’s a pain!
• You can’t go out first ball: No. Just not possible. After all who likes to sit at the dig out. Poor bowler!
• Last man’s tucker: You can bat yourself to a gritty half century.
