423rd ABG cricket team plays first ever game
LONGSTANTON, United Kingdom – Lt. Col. Jonathan Bradley, 423rd Air Base Group, gets some tips from Derek Stebbing, 423rd Communications Squadron honorary commander, before batting during the first game played by the team Aug. 19 at Longstanton Bowls Club in Longstanton, United Kingdom. The primary concern of the batsman on strike (i.e., the "striker") is to prevent the ball hitting the wicket and secondarily to score runs by hitting the ball with his bat so that he and his partner have time to run from one end of the pitch to the other before the fielding side can return the ball. To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the crease with either their bats or their bodies (the batsmen carry their bats as they run). Each completed run increments the score.
