HOW TO PLAY STUMP CRICKET

To play stumpcricket the main things you will need are:-
  1=At least 3 players
  2=A ball that can bounce( i.e a tennis ball )
  3=A bat that has a round surface
  4=A large surface area that can stand up ( i.e a table on its side)
  5=5 stumps
Pitch and outfield facts sre as follows:-
  1=The lenght of the wicket is 10 yards
  2=The outfield can be any size, but not too big (decide this before the match starts)

SCORING
1=If you hit the ball  past the boundry when it bounces you get 4 runs
2=You can only run if the ball hits the bat
  3=If you hit the ball and it goes behind the wicket you can only run a maxium of 2
  4=If you hit the ball  over the boudry mark without it bouncing it is six, but you can only do this on your 1st ball of your innings

HOW YOU CAN GET OUT
1=You can get bowled
  2=You can get caught off bat
  3=You can be caught in one hand if the ball has bounced once
  4=You can be caught off the any part of the body if the ball has bounced once and the person has caugth it with one hand. So this means you can not get LBW
  5=You can get run out

THE SETUP OF THE PITCH
When you have maked out the length of the wicket you need to put 4 stumps in the ground at one end and 1 in the other end. The end with only 1 stump in it  will be the bowlers end. Then put the stand up surface area behind the the batters stumps, this will act as a automatic wicketkeeper and slips(this means if the ball is hit to the board by the batter it is out).When you have finished doing this it should look like the picture below.

HOW TO PLAY
  1=Each player gets  3 innings
   2=Each over has six bowls to it
   3=The batter is in till he is out
   4=The player with the highest score over the innings is the winner
