About this word search
An Over is six balls bowled from one end, and the Bails are the two small pieces of wood that sit on top of the Stumps. Knowing that makes Run out and Wicket easier to follow, because a batter is bowled or run out when the bails are knocked off.
Words in this grid are pitched across, down or diagonally, and they always read forwards. Boundary and Test match are the longest. Bat, Six and Four are short and may sit close to other words, so take a careful look before marking them.
Over the summer of Test cricket, keep the sheet near the TV or radio and tick off the words as the commentators use them.
