Sports

Though all forms of indoor cricket world cup are played at the same grounds mainly using the same equipment, there are subtle changes in certain areas. When Test Match Cricket was first played each over consisted of eight legal balls bowled. A legal ball is one that is bowled according to the rules of cricket and is not a 'no-ball' or a 'wide'.
