Cricket match rules

板球比赛规则

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 20-metre (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps.

板球是两队11人一组，在球场中央20米(22码)的场地上进行的一种球类运动，球场两端各有一扇门，每个门由三柱门小木组成。

The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player (so they are “out”).

击球方得分靠的是用棒子把球打到三柱门小木上，而守方则试图阻止这种情况(这样他们就出局了)。

Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground.

When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches.

They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match’s statistical information.

 

击球手可以一直击球直到出局。如果一名击球手出局，击球的一方则派出另一名击球手代替他的位置，直到十个击球手都被淘汰，一轮结束。两队交换比赛，最后以得分多的为胜利。

被罚出场的方式包括：当一名击球手在方球场两端之间跑动时，一名外野手、投球手或捕手将球击中柱门从而击落一个或两个横木。

比赛由两名裁判员裁判，在国际比赛中由第三名裁判员和比赛裁判员协助。他们与记录比赛统计信息的两名场外得分员交流。

There are various formats ranging from Twenty20, played over a few hours with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs, to Test matches, played over five days with unlimited overs and the teams each batting for two innings of unlimited length.

板球比赛时间长度不一，国际板球中，测试赛（Test）的一场比赛每天进行六小时或以上，并长达五天，每方各打两局；还有许多午餐 (Lunch) 和饮茶 (Tea) 的休息时间；以及丰富的板球术语，都是使板球门外汉非常困扰的原因。

The new rules are currently in a trial phase in Shenzhen, after which they will be rolled out in other cities around China. 

This comes after the company revealed that they receive around 30,000 complaints per day about drunk passengers, according to Technode.

The rules state that drivers can refuse to carry inebriated users in Shenzhen if they feel that their actions may endanger the trip, although the company also said drivers need to carry passengers to their destination if there is no cause for worry and that they will severely punish the frivolous use of this system by drivers.

The new regulations were introduced in the southern city from December 10, after the company invited users to discuss the viability of drafting new rules for drunk passengers in early November. According to an article published by the company on their official WeChat account, 269,000 people took part in the discussion, 86 percent of whom said that drivers should be allowed to refuse drunk passengers.

The new rules state that drivers can use a new part of Didi’s interface to report that a passenger is drunk. If the passenger attempts to grab the driver’s wheel or endanger the trip in any way, the driver can then transport the passenger to the nearest police station. 

If the passenger vomits in the car, they will be forced to pay the driver a fee for cleaning, while if the passenger falls asleep in the car or is unwilling to leave upon reaching the destination, the driver can contact the company’s customer service team, who will then reach out to the passenger’s emergency contact as registered on the app.
