In the sport of cricket, an over is a set of six consecutive balls bowled in succession. An over is normally bowled by a single bowler. However, in the event of injury preventing a bowler from completing an over, it shall be completed by a teammate.

An over must consist of six legal deliveries. No balls and wides do not count toward the six-ball tally. The captain of the fielding team decides which bowler will bowl any given over (subject to the restriction that no bowler may bowl two overs in succession).

At the completion of each over, the direction of bowling reverses, so that the new bowler will approach the batsman from the opposite end of the pitch. Generally, the captain will appoint two bowlers to alternate overs from opposite ends of the pitch until one tires or becomes ineffective, at which point the captain will replace that bowler with another. The period of time during which a bowler is part of such a pair is known as a spell.

In limited over cricket matches, such as one-day cricket and twenty20, bowlers are restricted to the total number of overs they may bowl in a match. The general rule is that no bowler can bowl more than one-fifth(1/5)or 20% of the allotted overs per innings. Thus, in a 50 overs match, each bowler can bowl up to a maximum of 10 overs. Similarly, in a twenty20 match, one bowler can bowl a maximum of 4 overs, and the length of the game is determined by the total number of overs bowled (usually 40 or 50 per innings and just 20 overs per innings in Twenty20). In Test and county cricket, teams are usually required to bowl a minimum number of overs per day to prevent spoiling of the game by a slow over rate. Captains and teams are regularly punished for going at a slower rate than the required rate. The punishment often comes in cutting the match fees or banning from games.

A maiden over is one in which no runs are scored. A wicket maiden is one in which no runs are scored and one wicket is taken. Double and even triple wicket maidens can also be scored, albeit seldom in occurrence.

A. There are two types you could use. 1: A uni directional dynamic microphone. This is the type vocalists use on stage. The advantage is that you can choose the type and quality you want depending on how much you want to spend. From 10 - 12 dollars up to several hundred. The disadvantage is connecting it to your computer. They can be used either balanced or un-balanced. Balanced: Used for long cable runs. The mic has a 3 pin socket for a 3 pin XLR plug to a 3 pin XLR plug. To use it you would need an adapter to connect it to the computer. Or you can get an un-balanced mic cable which has an XLR on the mic end and a 1/4 jack on the other. You would still need an adapter to convert from the 1/4 jack to a 1/8 jack to the computer. 2:… [cont.]
