Field
diameters of 140–160 yards (130–150 m) are usual. The perimeter
of the field is known as the boundary. The objective of each team
is to score more "runs" than the other team and to completely
"dismiss" the other team.
Basically,
a run is scored when the "batsman" has literally run the length
of the pitch after hitting the ball with his bat.
