The formation of team is depended upon the strategies of every team but mostly it is broken into two phases which includes forwards and backs. The ball should be passed, or carry by a player or kicked by him to take possession of ball for longer period of time and grounding the ball maximum time than opponent to win the match.

The ground of rugby is consisted of touch lines and goal lines and ground must be covered with grass and rectangular shapes.

The Cricket Game – How To Play, Rules & Regulations

Cricket is a game which got its initiative from Southern England. It is being played by two teams with the help of bat and ball. Each team based on eleven players and substitute fielders. You can make as much substitutions from your reserved players in case of illness or injury of current player. The team is lead by a Captain and in case of his absence Vice Captain of the team led his team.

Nowadays, there are three types of cricket matches that are being played normally. First type is known as Test Match, second is One Day International and third type is recently introduced, known as Twenty20 match. Test Match is based on five day play and both teams have two innings to play. Like each would get a chance to bat two innings and to bowl two innings as well. To win the test match, you have to make as much runs as much you can and then you have to take wickets as soon as possible. In case of One Day match, you have only fifty over to bowl and bat respectively.

Then it comes the turn of Twenty20 and in this format you have only twenty overs to bat and bowl respectively. To win a match, the simple philosophy is that you have to make maximum runs and then to take opposition's wickets as soon as possible like before your lead got over. Or in other case, you have to take wickets of opposition team and then to chase the total. In first case you have to defend your total runs and in second case you have to chase your opponent's total.

The place where batsmen have to bat and bowlers have to bowl is known as Pitch. The standard size of a pitch is of 22 yards or 20m in length and 3.0m wide, this criterion is maintained at every ground. The home team uses different kinds of tactics while making a pitch. If they are good at batting then they would go for plain tracks so that batting on them become very easy. If home side is good in fast bowling then they would give preference to hard and bouncy tracks or green tracks. Spin and slow track pitches are only made when home side is good in spin bowling. A cricket match is being conducted on such kind of ground that fulfills the criteria of a standard cricket ground. A standard cricket ground should be of 130-150 yards or of 140-160 yards.

The ball that is being used in the match is of 160 grams or 5.5 ounce. The bowler has to bowl with the help of round arm action and before reaching to the batsmen, bowl usually takes a single bounce on the ground. But in two cases, like in case of full-toss and in case of Yorker, ball goes directly to the batsmen without bouncing anywhere. These kinds of delivers are known as full length deliveries and they are allowed to the belly height of the batsmen. Above that height, bowling is not allowed. The end at which batsmen is facing balls is known as striker's end and the other end at which the other batsmen is staying is known as non-striker's end. One wicket keeper is there at striker's end to save the missed balls and to save the runs as well. Eleven persons are around these two players to field the bowl so that they can stop the batsmen from scoring runs.

The bat that is being used by the batsmen while batting is of blade shape having a top grip on it. The bat is completely made of wood. The blade of bat should not exceed the borders of 4.25 inches in width. And the length of the bat should not be more than 38 inches. The ball that is used for bowling is known as Hard Ball and has a circumference of 9 inches. These kinds of balls could be delivered at more than 90 miles per hour so batsmen should have to use protective wears while bating. This kind of wearing includes batting helmet, pads, batting gloves, thigh pads, arm pads, shoulder protectors and rib protectors as well. The match is being conducted by two field umpires and one third umpires. Third umpire has to give decisions of dismissals or about boundaries but on the request of field umpire only. Third umpire give decisions by using the latest technology and videos so that the decision could be accurate and precise. There is also a match referee who has to see the code of conduct and other issues of the match.

The wicket is being planted at the end of 22 yards at both ends. The height of wicket along with bails is of 28.5 inches and the accumulate width of the wicket is of 9 inches. In this width three stumps are included. Four lines are used to be printed on the pitch and these lines are commonly known as crease. These lines are used to determine the safe area of batsmen and along with that it is also used to determine the bowler's approach while bowling as well. If any bowler delivers the bowl by approaching above the line then the bowl would be declared as No Ball. The bowl would be re bowled by the bowler and one run would be as awarded to the batting side.

Similar is the case with wide bowl hat if bowl goes to leg side, right side of the batsmen, without touching bat or batsmen then it would be declared as wide. And if bowl goes away from the off side line, left side of the batsmen, then it would also declared as wide. In the case of wide, one run is also awarded to the batting side. The other two types of extra deliveries are termed as "Byes" and "Leg Byes". If the ball is being miss-fielded by keeper or run through the fielders without touching bat or batsman and batsmen take runs then the ball is termed as "Bye". Similar is the case with "Leg Bye" that if ball hits the body or legs of batsman and he take run safely then it would be named as "Leg Bye Run".

The batsmen can play any kind of strokes with the help of his bat. The strokes which he played are commonly termed as cover drive, off drive, cut shot, pull and hook. When a batsman plays a shot, he go for runs and tried to take as much runs as he can by running or by hitting boundaries. When a batsman hits the ball and crosses the boundary line without touching any fielder or ground then it is named as "Six" and 6 runs are added to the scorecard of the team and to the individual score of the batsman as well. And if ball crosses the boundary line after touching ground or any fielder then it is named as "Four".

As a result of this boundary, batting line got 4 additional runs. Except both these batsman get runs by running singles, doubles and triples and if batsman take four runs by running even then he would get four runs. The batsman can get dismissed by ten ways only. The first way in this category is "Bowled". In this case, bowler hits the bowl to the stumps and stumps got down. Second type of dismissal is "Caught". In this category, batsman hits the ball and before ball touches the ground, it would be caught up by any player of the fielding side. The third common dismissal is Leg before Wicket. It is little bit complex but in simple you can narrate it as the ball hit the stumps if the legs of batsman wouldn't come between ball and stumps.

The fourth kind of dismissal is Run Out. It would happen only when the stumps are broken b any fielder at such time when the batsman is not in his secure area or not in his crease. The next kind of dismissal is of "Stump Out". It is same as the run out but the difference is that this out is operated by the wicket keeper of the fielding side. There is another kind of dismissal that is named as Hit Wicket. Batsmen declared as out if he hit the wickets by himself and ball remained away from the wickets. There are other kinds of dismissals as well like, hitting the ball twice, obstructing the field, handled the ball and timed out but these kinds of dismissal are not in common practice. The result of the match could be a win, loss or a draw. There is another kind of result that is termed as "No Result" but this kind of result is practiced in One Day Internationals Only.

Live Golf Action - The Return of Tiger Woods

Life as a professional golfer has been good to Tiger Woods. He plays the sport he loves the most and is remarkably great at it and is earning money while doing so. His talent remains unsurpassed until now and he can even win the US Open even when his knee joint is broken. He remains to be the top ranked golfer in the world for a few years now that other golfers seem to be battling for second place. And when other golfers do win majors it is because he did not enter the field and join the competition may be the best reason to explain why other golfers do win.

Tiger Woods went into an eight month sabbatical to have the anterior cruciate ligament on his left knee repaired through surgery and rehabilitation. And during this time, he also expanded his family when his wife Elin gave birth to his second child, a boy named Charlie Axel. His eldest daughter is named Sam Alexis.

The new season has begun and Woods has entered his first tournament after his hibernation at the Accenture Match Play Championships. And skeptics who thought that Woods shall lose his awesome touch were wrong as he impressed the crowd with his shot making ability, as he overcome a wobble at the front nine and win his match  at the WGC Accenture Word Match Play Championships.

He was playing against Australian Brendan Jones in the first round of the 64 man event hosted at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and tallied a 3 and 2 win. Sergio Garcia, the second ranked golfer in the world at the moment lost his match 1-up to Charl Schwartzel while Padraig Harrington was defeated by Pat Perez.

The world number one started his round displaying his determination to shoot a great score of golf. And the crowd that eagerly awaited for his return sheered him on when he made his first tee shot which parlayed into a birdie on the first whole.

Woods described his first day like as if he was not away from the sport fo so long, that it felt good. He expected his knee to be stiff at some point but was relatively surprised that it felt good. It was Tiger's way of saying that he did not feel any adverse reaction in his rehabilitated knee. And his first victory after a long layoff really showed just how much Woods' talent in the sport of golf really is.

His next match against Tim Clark the next day momentarily halted the euphoria the sporting world experienced with Woods' return. He faced a very determined and in form golfer who matched Woods' shot making prowess on that day. He eventually defeated Woods 4 and 2 in the second round.

As much as everybody did not know what to expect with Woods' performance on the day of his return, most of the organizers that he shall somehow overcome his long layoff and stay in the tournament a little longer by winning his matches. There is no doubt that his comeback was the biggest golfing news at that point and  his presence would definitely draw in the crowds to watch the tournament live.

Too bad though, that did not materialize.
