the wickets are sets of three small, wooden posts that are at each end of a rectangle of short grass called 'the pitch', which is 11 yards long. the pitch is inside a much larger oval of grass called the 'area of play'. the area of play is a 30 yard circle inside the cricket ground or stadium. the fielding team can attempt to get batting players "out" in a number of ways. when a player is out, a teammate will replace them in the field. when a team no longer has two "not-out" players left to score, then the other team gets the chance to try to score. in shorter games of cricket, a team may also have to stop batting when the ball has been thrown to their players a certain number of times. after both teams have had enough chances to score, the team with the most runs wins.
