And I’m sure, all you cricket fanatics can relate to the same. So what makes gully cricket so much more enjoyable than the regular cricket that there are now gully cricket leagues being held that everyone oh so enjoys? As a gully cricket enthusiast myself, it’s safe to say, that as a kid from India, it’s the freedom that comes with making up your own rules in this game that makes this game so enjoyable.</br></br><br>So here are 10 gully cricket rules that most of us played with during our childhood that will leave us feeling nostalgic.</br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''1) Pitch-catch is considered out if you catch the ball in one hand.'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When the fielding team member catches the ball after one bounce, but in one hand, the player who hit the ball is out!</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''2) First ball = Trial ball'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The first ball that every batsman will attempt will always be a trial ball just so they can warm up their batting skills and get used to the bowling.</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''3) If the ball hits the neighbour’s house, window, wall or car, the batsman is out!'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If the batsman hits the ball directly into the wall of the neighbour’s house, widow or the car, they will have to bear the expenses that follow and they are out!</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''4) The winning team will always get to bat first in the next match!'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The team that wins this match will automatically bat for the next match, cause who doesn’t love to bat.</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''5) ''''''The batsman should always leave some space for the wicket to be seen because there is no concept of LBW!'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The batsman should not cover the whole wicket while batting cause there is no LBW rule. And if you don’t, the bowler will throw a fit.</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''6) ''''''If the batsman thinks the ball is too fast, the bowler should re-bowl the ball!'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If the batsman feels the ball was too fast, it is too fast. Oh and that ball will not be counted because clearly, it’s unfair.</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''7) If the ball goes far out of reach or is lost, the batsman is held responsible.'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When the batsman hits the ball so far that it’s lost, he will have to replace the ball. Because well, he hit it!</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''8) The umpire is chosen from the batting team.'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The umpire will be a player from the batting team because he’ll be sitting on the sidelines. When it’s his turn to bat, someone else will replace him!</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''9) The last batsman will play without a non-striker batsman.'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The last man gets to bat without assistance from the other non-striker batsman. Because hey… we can make up their own rules.</span></p></br>=== <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''10) The team with the extra player will have to lend him to play fielding for the other team!'''</span> ===</br><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The extra player in the team, usually the worst player will be asked to play for both teams. Obviously because then the powers of both the team will be equal."</span></p>n></p> === <span style="font-size: 10pt;">'''10) The team with the extra player will have to lend him to play fielding for the other team!'''</span> === <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The extra player in the team, usually the worst player will be asked to play for both teams.
