	'''[[Backyard cricket]]''', '''Beach cricket''', '''Street cricket''' and '''Garden cricket''' are all different names used to describe a wide range of related informal games. The rules are often ''ad hoc'', and the laws of cricket, such as those involving leg before wicket, penalty runs, and others, are ignored or modified to suit both the setting and participants' preferences. In India and Pakistan, there is [[Street cricket\|''Gali'' cricket]] ('gali' in [[Hindi]] means 'street'. It is pronounced as 'gully' but should not be confused with the fielding position). Often, there are no teams, and each player plays for himself, and fields when he is not batting. Often, there is one wicket, and one bowling position, and no overs. If the batsman runs a single run, he is allowed to walk back to the wicket before the next ball is bowled. {{Citation needed\|date=April 2011}}		'''[[Backyard cricket]]''', '''Beach cricket''', '''Street cricket''' and '''Garden cricket''' are all different names used to describe a wide range of related informal games.

	Informal cricket in the UK is often known as [[garden cricket]] and is played in gardens and recreation grounds around the country. Because of limited space in gardens and the potential damage to property, one particular version of garden cricket is unique in that there are no concept of runs as aerial attacking shots are expressly forbidden, and instead, the winning batsman is the one who can survive the longest number of deliveries. Typically this will be played with a tennis ball or other soft bouncy ball, and modified rules, such as ''one hand one bounce'' are often employed. The length of the wicket will typically be roughly 15 meters, and the non-bowling fielders will be encircled close round the bat looking for a catching chance. There are quite often other rules such as ''not out the first ball'' and ''not out leg ~~break~~ wicket''		Informal cricket in the UK is often known as [[garden cricket]] and is played in gardens and recreation grounds around the country.
