PLATFORM CRICKET BRONZE AWARD

Children who are starting out in cricket play Kwik Cricket and Pairs Cricket. 

In these formats of the game, batters are not actually "out" when a bowler takes their wicket. Instead, they will have some runs deducted from their score (usually 5 or 6 runs). 

The name of the official who makes judgements about whether a batter is out or not is called an UMPIRE. The fielding team traditionally appeal to the umpire by saying "howzat" if they think they have got a batter out.

Batters can usually only be bowled, caught out, run out or stumped in Kwik Cricket and Pairs Cricket.
