How many wooden pieces will one see on a cricket pitch?

There are 5 in standard rules. There are 3 uprights on each end called stumps and two cross pieces. For a total of 5. Then there is a wooden bat. That makes a total of 6. The game is played with batsmen at both ends, according to international laws. 12 pieces of wood. (Or 13 if you count the cork inside the ball.) There are two wickets of 3 stumps and 2 bails each, and two bats. Where a single 'end' is used (school, practice ground, beach leisure etc) the answer is 6. A single stump marks the bowling crease, 22 yards away from the stumps.
