423rd ABG cricket team plays first ever game
LONGSTANTON, United Kingdom – Cliff Walker, 423rd Air Base Group honorary commander and 423ADG cricket coach, scores a run for the ABG team during the first game played by the team Aug. 19 at Longstanton Bowls Club in Longstanton, United Kingdom. If the batsman is successful in striking the ball and the ball isn’t caught before it hits the ground, the two batsmen may then try to score points (runs) for their team by running across the pitch, grounding their bats behind each other's crease. Each crossing and grounding by both batsmen is worth one run. The batsmen may attempt multiple runs or elect not to run at all. By attempting runs, the batsmen risk dismissal, which can happen if the fielding team retrieves the ball and hits a wicket with the ball before either batsman reaches the opposite crease.
