Overs and Innings, Silly Mid Off and Silly Mid On - A Guide to the Terms of Cricket

What is an Over?

An over is six balls bowled from one end of a cricket pitch excluding wide balls and no balls.

After an over, called by the Umpire, a different bowler comes online to bowl from the opposite end of the pitch - the batsmen however remain in their positions. Bowlers may not bowl successive overs, but may alternate.  In limited overs cricket, bowlers may be deployed for a maximum percentage of overs e.g. no more than 20% of balls per innings.

What is an innings?

An innings is a division of a match where one side takes turn to bat. First class fixtures have up to four innings, with each team getting to bat twice.

Other technical terms: a maiden over is one in which no runs are scored. Silly mid off and silly mid on are positions to the left and the right of the bowler respectively. The furthest point forward facing the bowler (or equivalently, directly behind the wicket keeper) is the Long Stop, and the furthest point behind is the Straight Hit. The extreme left of the bowler is the Deep Cover and the extreme right is the Deep Midwicket.
