Usually in international cricket there will be 7 batters and 4 bowlers, but this can change.
Yes. You can get these easily online, but if there is an Office Max or Office Depot in your town, talk to them and purchase them there so that you can get good recommendations on which are the most secure.
At the present time (as of October 2008), there are quite a few fast bowlers in the Indian cricket team: Ishant Sharma, Munaf Patel, R.P. Singh, Zaheer Khan, Praveen Kumar, Sreeshanth, et.al. Ishant Sharma is 6'4". The others, my guess, would be in the range of 5'10" to 6'0".
In the sport of cricket, batting is the act or skill of hitting the cricket ball with a cricket bat to score runs or prevent the loss of one's wicket. A player who is currently batting is denoted as a batter, while the act of hitting the ball is called a shot or stroke. The terms batter or specialist batter are also used generically to describe players who specialise in batting (as opposed to e.g. bowlers who would specialise in bowling). During an innings two batter from the team bat; the batter facing the current delivery from the bowler is denoted the striker, while the other batter is the non-striker. When a batter is out, he is replaced by a team mate. This process continues until the end of the innings, whereupon the other team gets a turn to bat.
It depends on the variant of cricket being played.There is generally no limit to a bowler in First-class cricket since is there is no hard-set limit to the number of overs that will be bowled in a given innings.For limited-overs matches, the general rule of thumb is that no one bowler can bowl more than 20% of the given overs in an innings. In a One Day International (ODI) match, for example, a bowler can bowl a maximum of 10 overs (less if a game is shortened by weather). Accordingly, Twenty20 limits a bowler to four overs.There is, however, one important rule for a bowler that can cut short his innings. A bowler is not supposed to run through the pitch's protected zone (generally the zone directly between the wickets) while following-through on his delivery. If caught doing so three times, he is prohibited from bowling for the rest of the innings.
